FORMAT:
Vinyl record
DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Eclectic Mix Of Vocal Tech, Acid, Breaks - Acclaimed producer, DJ, and dancefloor healer Octo Octa (Maya Bouldry-Morrison) announces her fourth full-length album
Octo Octa's fourth album arrives a decade after Maya Bouldry-Morrison publicly came out as transgender, and Sigils For Survival marks the milestone with subtle ceremony. Created entirely on hardware and deliberately preserved with MIDI-clock drift and off-grid texture, it captures the tactile warmth of live performance and is all Maya's signature ecstatic house electronics interwoven with hand-played dulcimer, hand-pan and recorder plus her own voice returning to carry spells of love and transformation. Each of the eight tracks is bound to a hand-drawn sigil by her sister Hope Morrison whose paintings translate musical energy into the artwork. Exceptionally well crafted in all ways.

It shouldn't be surprising that Brooklyn-based producer Octo Octa (Maya Bouldry-Morrison) had already logged tireless years as a fringe IDM artist and sound designer before her debut EP Let Me See You lasso'd a mighty wave of international house-heads to the dance-floor and helped push underground house label 100% Silk onto everyone's radar in 2011. Seven records later, which include a misty deep-house slow-burner in the Where Did You Go/Through The Haze 12" for Chicago-based, Smartbar DJ Steve Mizek's Argot imprint and the soaringly luxurious More Times EP for German powerhouse Running Back, Bouldry-Morrison's finely-tuned marriage of exquisite compositional flare, meticulously-sculpted sonics, and primal dance-floor functionality has earned her a a Red Bull Music Academy residency in Manhattan, which found the producer working closely with Harald Bjork and Throwing Snow, as well as tours across the world that included coveted gigs at Berlin's Panorama Bar, Frankfurt's Live At Robert Johnson, and Barcelona's Sonar Festival.
Fresh off of having SPIN Magazine herald percussive floor-burner "Cause I Love You" as one of the 50 Best Dance Songs Of 2014, Octo Octa currently has forthcoming coming 12"s prepped for DeepBlak and Stay Underground It Pays and is preparing for another year of pushing her unique sonic perspective and shimmering club-ready earworms through soundsystems across the world.
