Game changing DJ and producer Introspekt releases her new single Dilation, the third and final single to be revealed ahead of the release of debut album Moving The Center on June 20th via Tempa. Introspekt will celebrate the album release with an instore performance at iconic Soho record store Phonica on June 18th – more details to follow on Instrospekt’s socials in the coming days.
Introspekt is an LA-born, NY-based DJ and producer who has been instrumental in revolutionizing the UK garage and bass music scenes for the past few years. Rising to prominence with her unique blend of garage, dubstep, club music, and sensual vocal samples weaved together through a Black transsexual lesbian lens, she has created a sound that resonates globally – with UKG-inflected new single Dilation perfectly encapsulating this signature flair.
Introspekt’s hotly anticipated debut album Moving The Center comes nearly a year after the release of her latest collaborative EP Tectónica. Set to be released on June 20th, Moving The Center sees Introspekt pay homage to dubstep’s point of genesis in South London while simultaneously shifting the center of focus from a singular point of origin, to a more global narrative of bass and vibration. The album blends Dubstep with contrasting genres like garage and east coast club music, creating the perfect feminine blend of these historically masculine genres. The album merges rhythms and ideas from the Black diaspora across the Atlantic, crafting a sonic world where past, present and future are parallel and immersed in an early millennium type dubstep soundscape.
Speaking about the album, Introspekt says, “‘Moving The Center’ embodies an alternate perspective to that which has been dominant in dance music, particularly so-called ‘bass music’. The narrative it presents is one which throws a wrench in the seemingly common perception of Dubstep as a masculinist sensibility. ‘Moving The Center’ pushes a feminine physicality to the front of the bassbins. Femmes to the front!”
