Sofia Kourtesis - Madres - VINYL LP

A string of rapturously received EPs and singles made Sofia Kourtesis one of the fastest rising stars in the electronic world and beyond. She has already graced the cover of Mixmag, released a brilliantly energetic and moving Resident Advisor 'RA Session', appeared on 'End of Year' lists from the likes of The New York Times, Pitchfork, DJ Mag and Spotify (#6 Best Electronic Song) and played instant sell-out early shows at London's Lafayette and Manchester's YES as well as standout performances at Glastonbury, Green Man, Wide Awake and Primavera and tours supporting Caribou and Bicep.In amongst touring and working though Sofia was rushing home to Peru at any opportunity to be with her mother, who some months after the passing of her father - the subject of Kourtesis' breakout single 'La Perla' - had been diagnosed with cancer and was deteriorating rapidly. InchDoctors were all the time calling me to say goodbye to her, for monthsInch she recalls.Madres is joyful, awash with warm light and brimming with Inchhope and the value that big love can create miraclesInch. It's filled with the minutiae of life that Kourtesis didn't have time or energy for; going out with friends, dating, dancing, eating, living. Madres also contains everything that has made Kourtesis so beloved already. The dual sounds of her Peruvian home and her adopted home in Berlin are present (Inchmy heart is very Latin American, but my motor is GermanInch), as is the activism surrounding gender equality, protection of queer people and access to safe abortions in Peru that is so close to her heart.A1.
