Octo Octa s new EP tackles the thorny question of how to make club music for a time without clubs, finds Chiara Wilkinson
Octo Octa’s sound is celebrated for its contemporary interpretations of rave. High-energy and multi-textured, it’s a rare equilibrium of emotiveness and dance-floor ready production which oozes euphoria. It takes a lot of skill, then, to translate that distinct spirit into a soundtrack suitable for a decelerated world.

For Lovers EP, Maya Bouldry-Morrison’s
She’s Calling is the fourth release on her T4T LUV NRG imprint co-founded with partner, Eris Drew. It’s a three-track record leaking with sentiment, composed of multiple narratives in a contemplative ode to the club and to the earth.
Octo Octa has announced a new EP.
New Hampshire-based DJ and producer Octo Octa, real name Maya Bouldry-Morrison, has shared details of a three-track release landing on vinyl and digital next month.
Incoming via T4T LUV NRG, the label Bouldry-Morrison co-runs alongside her partner in music and life, Eris Drew, She s Calling is the product of a two-year exploration of the connection between music and ritual , and closes the loop on themes explored on her last solo EP, For Lovers .
You can pre-order She s Calling , which is out on the 5th February, from Octo Octa s Bandcamp store. 50% of the profits from sales will be donated to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence.
Octo Octa will release new EP She s Calling on February 5th.
The producer s plans were ripped up in 2020, forcing her to cancel her touring schedule and return to the United States.
The energy of this period is channelled in new song Find Your Way Home , the lead in to her incoming EP.
Out on February 5th via T4T LUV NRG, half of all proceeds from She s Calling EP will be donated to the legal aid organisation Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP).

Mark Stone (4 out of 5 stars) I thank the previous reviewers for recommending purchasing the 3-cd/dvd set at Wal-Mart for a few dollars more. I can t stop cranking this cd. The cd of new music would fit nicely with the mid-80s REO sound.
The dvd is a well-mixed unplugged interview/concert for a studio audience, and includes terrific new arrangements of Ridin The Storm Out and Roll With the Changes, as well as a few tracks from the new cd. I was particularly impressed with Dangerous Combination, which was co-written by Kevin Cronin and the talented Jim Peterik of Survivor and the Ides of March.
