The Irish producer and DJ Or:la today shares a remix of her new single by the prolific house and techno producer, Midland. Taken from her debut album, Trusting Theta, “Chant” is inspired by Or:la’s time living in London and experiencing the nightlife scene. The remix sees two minds of creative kinship coalesce with a hypnotic effect.

Midland says on the track, "I have known Or:la for the best part of 8 years now, it's been a real pleasure to see her growth as a DJ, producer and queer community organiser. Her album sounds like the most realised version of her (yet) and it was a pleasure to be asked to remix one of the tracks. "Chant" jumped out at me, I could hear the remix forming before I had the stems. I wanted to strip it back (more) and give it a rude bassline that's kind of playful and in your face. There is definitely a thread of DMX Krew and Kerrier District running through it in the melodies."

Trusting Theta is set for release on 20th September on fabric Originals. The album is imbued with both Irish and ancient Greek mythology and captures moments of sapphic love, friendship, and defiance against the still-never-ending injustices against the feminine. The culmination of years of hard work, through building her reputation as a key figure in the global club scene and commitment to her craft as a producer, Or:la’s debut album showcases raw emotions of joy, rage, and desire. Glittering percussion usher in these themes with vibrancy. From spacious club cuts to retro garage rhythms, this body of work is an impressive collection of work that calls to mind the far-reaching clubs and raves Or:la has commandeered as both a headliner and promoter. Known for her diverse showcasing of genres, across UK bass, tribal house, deep house, breakbeat, acid, and 90’s techno, Or:la’s ability to draw connections between the subtleties of these genres is what sets her productions and DJ sets apart from the rest.

On the artwork for Trusting Theta we see Or:la as a 3D scan transformed into stone, a playful nod to how some myths and legends can be misinterpreted just like the tale of Medusa often is. With great storytelling of metamorphosis in mind, Or:la immersed herself in many legends from both Irish and Greek mythology. Drawn to the Celtic pantheon in particular and the Celt's respect for women as healers, mothers and leaders - the focus on equality hit a chord.
