LATEST SIGNING: Aïsha Devi

We're very happy to announce the latest addition to the Houndstooth family! Aïsha Devi is the Swiss-born Nepalese-Tibetan producer, whose imprint Danse Noire releases leftfield electronic music from the likes of IVVVO and Vaghe Stelle. Heavily influenced by her dedicated practice of meditation, Devi’s work is often visceral and ritualistic, fusing her intense, warped vocal samples with sombre, and at times industrial instrumentation.

Her debut on Houndstooth is the ‘Conscious Cunt’ EP (which is out now), which explores different perspectives on womanhood and the dichotomy between materialistic femininity under societal pressure and spirituality. Describing the concept behind the release, Devi says: "It’s an EP about sluts, awareness, death, and women in a patriarchal society… enlightenment, violence, resistance, mothers, daughters, consciousness, Guy Debord, Vedas and eternity. It's also a high-five to my grandmother who raised me and passed away early this year."

Read more over on The FADER, and listen to the full EP (as premiered by FACT) below. Order the EP on 12" from our store (to receive free WAVs) or iTunes. 

***NEWSFLASH*** 'Conscious Cunt' has been named The Guardian's Pick of the Week's singles, describing it as "a weird and uncompromising wander into industrial electronica that is heavy with the weight of the world’s injustices without ever having to lyrically spell them out."
