Description
BASHKKA releases CORE, her new four-track EP on fabric Originals, arriving 6th November. The project marks her first original release since her breakthrough 2023 EP Maktub, introducing a stripped-back, old-school electro sound that draws together the different influences at the heart of her music. At the centre of CORE is “Surrender”, a track that reflects BASHKKA’s background in Ballroom culture alongside her German roots. Soulful vocal samples sit against crisp electro rhythms, creating a contrast between infectious club energies. Across the four tracks, the EP moves through hypnotic and deep rhythms, with soft vocal samples woven into stripped-back productions creating a sensual and immersive atmosphere throughout the EP. CORE captures BASHKKA’s ability to connect different cultural and musical influences through a distinctly dancefloor-focused sound. Drawing on the rawness of classic electro while retaining the hypnotic quality that runs through her sets, the EP offers a deeper look into the sound and identity she has continued to develop since Maktub. With CORE, BASHKKA enters a new chapter of her production career, bringing together her influences into a focused project that feels both rooted in her background and forward-looking in its approach to electronic music.
