Billie Jo

Tracklisting A1 Billie Jo ? Dubbla Slag A2 Billie Jo ? Faller B1 Billie Jo ? Dubbla Slag (Sailor Juul vs DJ Lily Wellness Remix) B2 Billie Jo ? Faller (DJ Lily Finest Fitness Remode) LILIES welcomes fellow Swedish artist Billie Jo onto its roster for the labels seventh release. Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, Billie Jo is a DJ and producer with material on the likes of Spencer Parker's Work Them Records and Vincent Neumann's Unitas Multiplex. The past few years have seen Billie Jo steadily making her mark on the Stockholm underground scene and here we see the release of her third EP to date via DJ Lily and Sailor Juul's LILIES imprint. "Dubbla Slag" leads with thunderous kicks, jolting percussive chimes and Jo's own hypnotic vocal chants ebbing and flowing amongst crunchy drums and a pulsating low- end drive "Du får mitt hjärta att slå dubbla slag" - You make my heart skip a beat. "Faller' follows next, embracing a similarly raw aesthetic courtesy of a gritty, dynamically evolving rhythm and intricately processed vocal murmurs, once again from Billie, uttering "Jag faller - så fånga mig" - "I'm falling - so catch me". On the flip-side label bosses Sailor Juul and DJ Lily deliver their "Wellness Remix", embracing a more menacing feel with heavily distorted bass tones, driving drums and the original vocal line throughout. DJ Lily then goes solo for his take on 'Faller", again adding an even more vigorous feel to things via rave tinged drum breaks, distorted bass stabs and vacillating vocal tones.

Spencer Parker invites Swedish artist Billie Jo to Work Them Records with five driving techno cuts entitled ‘The Ravenous’ EP featuring a remix from Me Me Me boss Man Power. Hailing from Stockholm, Billie Jo is a founding member of the .WAV collective and resident DJ at Gothenburg’s Rottweiler when not performing at clubs like Tresor. She now joins Work Them Records, bringing an array of robust productions with her. With its pounding drums and ghostly vocals, ‘Erroneous’ quickly sets the tone of the release, leading into ‘Saturn’ with its glassy textures and echoing effects. ‘Ravenous’ then takes us into murkier territories, generating a duskier aesthetic with its twisted sounds before British producer Man Power provides a vigorous reinterpretation under his newly minted MPX moniker, which focuses on raw club tracks, featuring hard stabs and acid licks. With its saw-like lead and trippy atmospherics, ‘Dir Vsseu’ sounds like being pulled through a vortex, making way for the powerful ‘Planet 9’ which concludes the package with metallic elements and subtle pads.
