Coming out from the creative nucleus that is Atlanta’s Awful Records, also home to “Wrists” star Father, Abra is creating her own wave and blowing up a healthy fan base all over the globe due to two highly impressive SoundCloud EP’s ‘BLQ Velvet’ and the most recent, ‘Rose’.
Having grown up in London it’s no surprise that The Darkwave Duchess has inherited a subconscious inspiration from the British genre garage, which was picked up on by two of London’s New Generation pioneers; Renz and Soul PRMD.
Across the pond in London, a mirrored lease of new energy is bubbling amongst the up and comers – who are creating their own independent musical frenzies without conforming to the status quo. 2-part production duo ‘PRMD’ came across Abra’s SoundCloud after trailing the Internet and fell in love with the rawness of her self produced vocals.
After realising they were mutual fans of one another, Abra gave Renz and Soul her blessing to rework the ‘BLQ Velvet’ EP hit “I Guess”, and she fell in love with the result.
Showcasing their production diversity from rap beats right through to the anthemic world of dance, the PRMD Remix of “I Guess” takes it up a notch; displaying a definite house party vibe. The track was first championed with a DJ Target #InboxFresh premiere on BBC 1Xtra.
