Bae Blade, underground darling gone global, launches her own label B.A.E. – Build Around Energy with a typical explosion of edgy brilliance, via her new 3-track ‘INTRODUCING BAEDDIES’ EP, out now. Recent dance-dynamite EP single ‘HEY MAMI’ received support from Mixmag, DJ Mag, Numéro & more. The Full EP also features a Laure Croft remix, plus new track ‘WKAT?’
B.A.E. is an independent label built on everything Berlin-based producer/DJ Bae Blade looked for and couldn’t find. Drawing on years of experience, she intends B. A. E. to be a home for electronic artists where they are seen, supported, and valued for who they are.
Bae Blade is uncompromising and unapologetic about both her sound – a high energy, kitschy & edgy mix of techno, hard dance and breaks – and her intention when launching her label. ‘I started B. A. E. because I spent years looking for a place that didn’t really exist, where being an artist equals living the freedom to create. Owning your work, your images, your terms, without asking permission first. B. A. E. is that place. If I can build the space I needed for myself, I can do exactly that for other artists who need it too.’ Bae Blade
EP ‘INTRODUCING BAEDDIES’ Tracks:
‘WKAT?’ (Watchu Know About That?): A percussive onslaught of breakbeats around a hooky riff and a demanding morse-pulsing theme with caught breath sounds upping the urgency. A processed vocal title riff and tumbling distorted melodic interludes join the frenzy, as builds and breaks flash by. Head-spinning disorientation never felt so good.
‘HEY MAMI’ (Laure Croft remix): Amsterdam-born, Berlin-based Laure Croft strips back the original to a fast, rattling techno onslaught with hailstorms of hi-hat and clattering FX stabs, with Bae’s vocal cut to a title riff but with the sensuality upped a gear, in Croft’s signature ‘keep it sexy’ style.
‘HEY MAMI’: A full-on barrage of multi-layered breaksy percussion at break-neck speed, with squealing sirens, pulsating synth, distorted melody with hoover/doppler FX, fuzzy dark notes stomping through, plus her increasingly processed rap-style vocal… the range and variety are complex and subtle, the message and effect simple – go dance!
The launch of B.A.E. label with ‘INTRODUCING BAEDDIES’ EP by 3-year Rinse FM resident Bae Blade follows sizzling releases on labels like Partiboi69’s Mutual Pleasure, SPFDJ’s Intrepid Skin, Hot Haus/Unknown to the Unknown, RAW … plus shows at Terminal V, Into The Woods, Glitch Festival, WECANDANCE, ADE, Teletech, Zonnewende Festival, Fuse Brussels, BLITZ, Awakenings Festival, Dour Festival, fabric, Tresor Berlin, Mondo.
