Third Culture just dropped the kind of track that makes genre purists clutch their pearls – and that’s exactly the point. “She’s Evil,” their new collaboration with Chicago techno maverick Hiroko Yamamura, isn’t here to play nice with your expectations. The duo – Sian and Sacha Robotti – have crafted something deliciously twisted: a bass-heavy fever dream that’s equal parts playful funk and dark room delirium.
But wait – they’ve also enlisted Detroit royalty DJ Minx for remix duties. Fresh off curating her own stage at Movement and dropping heat on Diplo’s Higher Ground, the First Lady of Wax brings her signature analog grit to the proceedings. This isn’t just a remix; it’s a masterclass from someone who’s been reshaping dance music since the early ’90s.
The track lands via Octopus Recordings with perfect timing. While Third Culture’s been busy collecting co-signs from Solomun (who handed them an 8000-capacity LA debut) and dropping EPs on Maceo Plex’s Lone Romantic, Yamamura’s been holding down Chicago’s underground at Spybar and Soundbar, bringing her sci-fi-meets-techno vision to the masses. It’s a collision of scenes and sounds that shouldn’t work on paper – but that’s exactly why it slaps so hard on the dancefloor.
