Women in dance is rather like women in politics, they’re on the rise, in demand and continue to make their presence felt! Whilst female DJs and producers aren’t a new concept, it’s hard to think of a time when so many have made in-roads to the male domi-nated world of dance.
“We’re not political in any way,” says Mutants artist-in-chief John Dahlback, “It really is all about the music at the end of the day, but it’s undoubtedly great to see a female DJ and producer debut on the label.”
Helena also confirms that Australia is a burgeoning hotbed of talent as she joins James Frew in the Mutants family. “Mutants, to me, was a perfect match for Breathe,” she en-thuses, “I was really happy when they were into the vibe of the track. It is such a respected label; their sound is unique and they are not afraid to push the boundaries with the music they release.” Wise words to be sure as ‘Breathe’ does present a fresh take on the euphor-ic, electro genre…

Their multi-track digital single “We’re All No One” featuring Afrojack and Steve Aoki was released last week and is available on all digital music outlets, including iTunes, in the U.S. and Beatport globally. The single is their first release for label Astralwerks/ Virgin Records and is the duo’s first commercial solo release the features the two of them stepping up to the mic to perform vocals. The song is a marked departure in style and sound from their more underground dance floor productions of the past year, and showcases a daring new vision, that sets its sights on the future of pop, electro and dance synergies.
