about

The 24th edition of XLR8R+ showcases three female-led electronic music projects that we've been listening to through lockdown.

The collection begins with Eluize's "EMDR," a dusty house track that captures the intensity of EMDR, a therapy she had for PTSD. It revolves around her voice, an acid line, and a distorted kick topped off with some spacious pads. Next is AIDA’s "Yek o Do," a "modern love song" that AIDA produced several years ago in her studio in Vancouver, overlooking the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. It's a transportive deep house track with a low-slung groove at its core. (Fans of AIDA might recall it from her breathtaking set at Bass Coast 2019.)

We close the edition with "Extracelestial" by Slumber, the collaboration of Öona Dahl and Amber Cox, friends for many years. The cut they've delivered is an eight-minute trance-inducing piece of dance music, expertly crafted with the Moog Grandmother Semi-Modular synth.

As an extra to this edition, Eluize has shared her Ableton Live Project and a track breakdown, so you can see the intricate workings behind "EMDR."

The artwork comes from Teresa Ferreiro, a multi-disciplinary artist living in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, with mastering by Kamran Sadeghi.
