- The LA producer imagines what it would sound like if DJ Technics and Mala walked into a studio together.
- Sage De Lestrogén (AKA DJ Introspekt) is the latest force to emerge from the queer US underground, although you might not be able to guess that origin listening her latest EP for Cheeky Music, Femme Fatale. Across four tracks we tune into forgotten London pirate radio stations where skippy garage drum programming meets dubstep dread. The highlight of the EP, "Tongue Technician," is the only place where we hear Sage tap into her American roots. We start with ominous mentasm stabs and a Khia vocal flip before modulating waves of bass consume the whole track. It's got the cheekiness of Baltimore club with the bass weight of dubstep.
