FRXCTOSE and Pretty//Ugly present a fresh new club night at OCCII, with a line-up full of FLINTA* forward live electronic acts and DJs.
deBasement
deBasement - FRONT LEFT SPEAKER (Official Music Video)Watch this video on YouTubeWelcome to deBasement – born from the afterhours parties of Montreal and New Orleans, deBasement is comprised of Alli Logout, iconic vocalist of the critically acclaimed punk band Special Interest, and Margo XS, an esteemed DJ and highly in-demand producer who collaborates with pop stars such as Zara Larsson and Kim Petras, and underground darlings like Ayesha Erotica and Mowalola.
Blasting onto the scene with their double single debut “FRONT LEFT SPEAKER / FTDJ (Thank God)” via In Real Life [Peggy Gou, Erika DeCasier, Luna Li, MethMath] in August, deBasement has already captivated listeners with their futuristic production, punk confrontation and undeniable vocal hooks. Deeply inspired by and uplifting their FLINTA* community, deBasement is rewriting the rules of LA’s DIY queer rave scene with their explosive live sets, and has already supported acts like Model/Actriz, Hannah Diamond, and Marie Davidson (who will feature on their debut EP outFeruary 2025). With just a few releases under their belt, the duo’s unique blend of dance punk and modern ghettotech has already caught the attention of Pitchfork, AG Cook’s Wandcamp Media, Our Culture Mag, Matt Wilkinson on Apple 1, Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1, and more. In a landscape saturated with predictable dance music, deBasement is injecting a much-needed dose of raunchy, raw authenticity – and it’s only just the beginning.
Plastic Persoon
Since we are all simultaneously yelling how unique we are, I decided to rename myself Plastic Persoon. An Avant Gabber act consisting of Sob (45ACIDBABIES, FFOOSS) and Juna (Imhotel, Gita Buhari). Both brutally loud and relatable to people who want change. Kicking against the status quo every minute of every day is exhausting. Plastic Persoon is a coping mechanism.
TiZi
A smalltown girly with a heart beating fast like the big city.
TiZi is a vocal artist, on a journey through colors sound and movement. And she loves to play around behind the decks as well, with a foundation in jazzy house sounds to sexy south American rhythms and wonky circus melodies.
mesin slat
Dj, producer, wide web digger, mesin slat is a curious cross discipliner who plays with musics and sounds like shadow play – giving sonic outline but neva borders!!! A message-oriented musical diarist, he believes music can bring a positive change towards the most stubborn of hearts and the firmest of constructions.
