Win I Love Techno CDs Mixed By Erol Alkan
Taking place on the 10th of November, this year’s I Love Techno is held at the Flanders Expo in Ghent and as ever is expected to attract some 35,000 people across 5 rooms making it Europe’s leading indoor dance event.
International DJ/producer and feminist powerhouse Fei-Fei is making her long-awaited return to her iconic project beginning with her new acid Techno single, “MY BODY IS GOD ON ACID.” Previously recognized in DJ Mag, LA Weekly, NYLON, Bloomberg, and more, Fei-Fei now relaunches her eccentric alias with the release of this divine feminine cut, out June 23rd via her own imprint, PUSSY POP.
It’s tough to encapsulate Fei-Fei’s sound in a handful of words. Bold, boisterous, and driven by unique sonic pairings, Fei-Fei’s discography ranges from euphoric Trance hooks and Dubstep to Techno and Grunge-Pop. With official remixes for BANKS, Tiesto, and Basement Jaxx under her belt, Fei-Fei’s creations have undoubtedly swept listeners and peers by storm throughout her extensive career. As the first single to be revealed from her forthcoming EP, “MY BODY IS GOD ON ACID” sees Fei-Fei’s hyperfueled production in its entirety with pulsating basses, tripped-out cyber soundscapes, and a mind-bending vocal.
This new release is a reclamation of Fei-Fei’s throne, a deserved recrowning for her acclaimed skill and talent as well as her passion for advocating for queer, femme, BIPOC, and non-binary communities and causes. “MY BODY IS GOD ON ACID” is powerful, purposeful, and serves as a symbol of all Fei-Fei stands for within her creative and personal selves.
“This is my first song back as Fei-Fei.
Her name is ‘MY BODY IS GOD ON ACID’ – and she’s a feminist acid techno banger. I hope she will empower you and give you weird, raw, and dirty urges until you are reborn in a euphoric haze of beauty.
She’s a journey back to my first love and how it all started. All the sleepless nights I danced and danced and danced until the sun came up. Losing myself in dark warehouse parties, abandoned roller rinks, laser tag arenas, and forest raves in the middle of nowhere. The music became a part of me. It did strange things to my body.
Last winter, I DJ’d a 5-hour set at Amazon re:Invent and I realized I MISS THIS. Dance music is still such a huge part of me. Shout out to the tech bros who raged their hearts out. But as I dropped tune after tune after tune, staring at a sea of men, playing bangers featuring vocals by men, produced by men, telling ME to shake my ass or work my pussy? Fuck that. I wanna see a sea of women, play more bangers produced by women, singing about our own damn bodies. I got back from Vegas and this song birthed out of me in a frenzy.” — Fei-Fei

The New Zealand duo FOVOS is back with their new track “Platia.” Staying true to their signature style with plenty of sinister Bass, FOVOS infuses Hardstyle and Techno with gritty synths reminiscent of video games and driving beats that lend an ominous feeling to the track. The slowdown in its middle builds anticipation to a heart-pounding second half with a crescendo built for destroying dance floors. “Platia” follows FOVOS’s recent release “Under Pressure,” which was also a throwback to the nostalgic rave scene of the 90s.
FOVOS began their artist adventure back in 2020 and throughout the midst of a global pandemic, have been hard at work producing music that speaks to the heart of the underground. Even early in their career, they’ve already been supported by Alok, AC Slater, Cloverdale, Dr. Fresch, Eli & Fur, Joel Corry, Kryder, Martin Ikin, and MASTERIA, to name a few. The duo has already been off to a strong start in 2022, while “Platia” continues their momentum. FOVOS have more music lined up for 2022 on the likes of Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars, Insomniac, Barong Family, and more. Stay tuned for many more dancefloor-worthy tracks from these two!
