HOUSE UR HEAD vol.5 feat. VIRGINIA (DE)

THE MISMATCH RASADENCY presents HOUSE UR HEAD vol.5 feat. VIRGINIA (DE)

Fri 7 Nov | 10pm - 3am | RASA |

From the spirit of Chicago’s legendary Warehouse, where house music was born, to Berlin’s Berghain and now Singapore’s RASA, the pulse continues. This edition of HOUSE UR HEAD welcomes Virginia (DE), a Berlin queer icon, Panorama Bar resident and vocalist whose hybrid DJ and live performances bring the human voice back into the house.

Her sets fuse warm analogue grooves with spontaneous live vocals, carrying the queer soul of the genre from its Chicago roots through Berlin’s underground and into our present moment in Singapore. When Virginia sings, the dancefloor listens; when she spins, the room breathes as one.

Make House Queer Again is our ongoing call to remember who built this culture. House Ur Head reclaims that lineage by connecting continents and communities, celebrating the vibrant frequency of queer children who continue to keep this rhythm alive. More than a club night, it is a sanctuary, a communion and a love letter to house music, born queer and reborn together.

VIRGINIA

(CANDY MOUNTAIN, OSTGUT TON / DE)

The talented DJ, singer, songwriter and producer Virginia has been deeply involved in electronic music for over a decade. Growing up in Munich, she soon found her feet in music. Her career kick-started in the late 90s, she soon began to tour as a DJ, discovering a real passion performing in front of crowds.

Following up on residencies in Munich and Frankfurt she relocated to Berlin where she's holding a residency at Berghain's Panorama Bar since 2012. Her DJ sets fuse warm analog house and electro of the 80s and 90s with off-kilter swinging grooves, layered with spontaneous live vocals that add a unique third dimension. With a careful mixture of peaks and valleys, her hybrid DJ/live performances command attention. Few, if any, do what she does.

The same can be said for her productions. Her inspiring 2008 crossover LP, Twisted Mind, was co-produced with Eye-Q Records' Steve B-Zet and found its way into film and TV airplay. The electro-pop project saw Virginia touring live on stage with a 5-piece band. She has also been involved in numerous co productions and guest appearances alongside the likes of Steve Bug, Butch and Abe Duque, including the vocal-led collaboration “Reasons” on Jus Ed's acclaimed Underground Quality imprint in October 2010.

Since then, she has gone on to produce with friends Steffi and Dexter. Steffi's debut album Yours & Mine (Ostgut Ton, 2011) features two tracks led by Virginia's vocals (the album’s hit “Yours” and the touching “You Own My Mind”). She also teamed up with Steffi and Dexter for the uplifting, percussion-driven vocal track “Treasure Seeking” off of Steffi’s Power Of Anonymity LP (Ostgut Ton, 2014).

Virginia's rich voice has brought a golden touch to her widespread catalogue. She has released her first solo production, the Loch & Hill EP, on Ostgut Ton in 2013, followed by her My Fantasy EP in January 2015. Her debut Ostgut Ton LP, Fierce For The Night, was released in May 2016 and showcases even more of her musical facets, including more narrative songwriting. Co-produced by Dexter, Martyn and Steffi, Fierce For The Night offers some personal insight into

Virginia while drawing from club culture's long and rich history.

In September 2019 Steffi and Virginia returned with Work A Change an eight track double EP on Ostgut Ton, inviting us into new dimensions of the sonic world they have crafted together over a number of years.
