In their few years as DJs, the Lisbona Sisters have performed alongside artists like Soul Clap, Mr. C, Crazy P, and Lee Foss. Their diverse musical backgrounds, influenced by their birthplace, Atlantic City, NJ, their musician father, and their upbringing in California, have shaped their artistry.
The sisters’ close bond, diverse musical exposure from their parents, and a significant age gap of nearly 20 years have all further contributed to their distinctive sound.
In recognition of Women’s History Month, the Lisbona Sisters just released a new track through LP Giobbi’s nonprofit effort, ‘Femme House Vol. 2’, in partnership with Insomniac Records. This project highlights female and female-identifying artists. FEMME HOUSE seeks to empower and create opportunities for women, gender-expansive individuals, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ creatives in the music industry.
In conjunction with their recent contribution to ‘Femme House Vol. 2’, the Lisbona Sisters have curated a list of their top 10 favorite tracks.
1. Nocturnal Sunshine, Maya Jane Coles – Foundation
“First off, we love Maya Jane Coles; such a talented and diverse producer, plus exceptionally kind human. This track is perfectly balanced with a broken beat structure, infectious bass line, and contagious vocal.”
2. tINI – So high
“Housey, funky, and infused with acid overtones, this certified groover can get us dancing at a party or in our kitchen…or anywhere really.”
3. BASHKKA – Act Bad
“It’s fast, but not too fast with a vocal that’s catchy, but not cheesy. We’re confident this will get all the girlies shaking their girly parts, and everyone knows that’s the key to a dance floor where everyone is happy.”
4. Roza Terenzi, D. Tiffany, Tapestry Of Sound – Maypole Theme (Looming Giant Mix)
“The half-time breakdown really does it for us, and all of the elements throughout the entire song are immaculately balanced and not over-complicated. We want it played on vinyl, and we want it in a sci-fi movie soundtrack, thanks.”
5. Mary Droppinz – Energy Is Everything
“This is Mary Droppinz’ first ever drum and bass production and she really couldn’t have nailed it any harder. She has such a cool sound, both in her music releases and DJ sets. We are obsessed with this woman as a person and as an artist.”
6. Khiva, NotLö – Swampmonster (NotLö Remix)
“Oof, this track is just NASTY. The trippy, dubstep style with a deep, dark bass line infiltrates us straight to our bones.”
7. IN2STELLAR, Spray – Baby Bump (Spray Remix)
“This simultaneously makes us teleport to a 90s warehouse rave and the set of the movie Blade, and we are truly fine with both.”
8. Caroline Loeb – Narcissique
“It’s French, so obviously it’s sexy. A 1983 release that can still light up a dance floor today. Sign us up!”
9. Juliet Mendoza, Lacey IQ- Connected (Lacey IQ’s 303 AM Mix)
“Funky house with perfect accents of acid. We thought we couldn’t love Juliet Mendoza anymore, but this song is proving us wrong, and love that it’s a female’s remix of her track; double femme energy.”
10. Rita Lee – Lança Perfume
“Rita Lee is a Brazilian dreamboat of a vocalist and artist. This song is from 1980 and she is still in full effect today, teaming up with artists like Mochakk, Gui Boratto, and Roberto de Carvalho.“
Lisbona Sisters’ ‘Funky Organ’ is now available on LP Giobbi’s ‘Femme House Vol. 2’ compilation. Stream and download here.
