THE BARONESS OF SLUDGE & EROTICISM

As a dj, L.Sangre has haunted the depths of New York City’s mutant electronic underbelly for over a decade and counting. Dark industrial roots and a Latin background inform her musical style by fueling her romanticism and inherent passion in the innumerable forms they can take. From selection to execution, her process is intentional and while she’s able to entrance with rhythms that satiate, she equally relishes the opportunity to dip into extremes and out of the listener’s comfort zones, for an ecstatic push & pull. In blending raw, hard, at times abrasive mutant electronic, techno, EBM, wave, & acid and alternating with effortlessly woven melodic elements, she casts spells. Hers is a musical psychological seduction– as she revels digging into the trenches of your soul to compel you to ~Feel~ all spectrums from light to darkest.

Early on feature mixes for former renowned “oppositional surrealist happening” and underground party/collective Hugo Ball (Chicago) as well as SF’s HoneySoundSystem introduced her presence to a national/international underground house/techno/electronic scenes, and in later years her seminal “All My Bleeding Passions” mix for L.I.E.S. further showcased her penchant for more abrasive outlier techno & industrial roots. Throughout the years she’s made several appearances on The Lot Radio as well popping up on Rinse France.

As NYC based collective Lost Soul Enterprises’ “Resident Witch” she has helped conceive of, book talent, and dj for their parties for the GoodRoom residency over the years in addition to the many warehouse parties of yore. She would independently establish herself as a fixture of NYC nightlife regularly playing GoodRoom,Basement, Output (RIP), Bossa, Nightmoves, as well as repeated West Coast jaunts (LA/SF), Berlin spells and all in between including notable moments for Club Toilet (Detroit), and longstanding Bay Area festival Sunset Campout.

A formative and life changing bond with friend/mentor Juan Mendez/aka Silent Servant would eventually result in their collaboration as EBM/techno/electro project Limit-Xperience, the moniker under which they would release 2 EP’s on their own imprint Orden Extática. .

Born from a craving to fulfil a missing dark depth to New York, Sangre has recently rebirthed her SHAME! party in tandem with Liz Wendelbo of Xeno & Oaklander. SHAME!’s previous iteration of few offs, having been a collaboration with Pieter Schoolwerth of instrumental NYC cold wave/minimal synth/experimental party Wierd, sets a high bar for a feeling and flame SHAME! attempts to reignite. While SHAME! of today maintains a musical focus on cold wave/minimal synth/experimental/industrial/post punk and the like, this iteration’s mission was conceived as an equal parts vehicle for their visual art and an immersion in/exploration of the senses. At each monthly event the two showcase these cumulative works via projections of their respective films, video collage, and more.
