EQ brings you girl-enhanced vision on their debut EP

Girl-engineered music.

.

Estratosfera and Qiri have built a world dominated by girls. On their debut EQ by EQ, long gone are the days of male DJs mansplaining how to use CDJs at your own fucking gig. No, in EQ’s magical world, shiny acrylics confidently graze mixers, wrap around drinks, and slide into ever-so-tiny ziploc baggies. Unlike previous #girlboss projects, EQ’s girl power comes across refreshingly genuine and close to the heart. Decked in pageantry, EQ imagines close female friendships as superhuman ways of being. Fan-powered wind blowing through ribbons, tulle, and bottle bleached hair all the same.

Buzzing about the underground experimental circuit, despite a short discography EQ has been making serious noise. Putting out their first bass-heavy single, Boytoy, in the summer of 2024, the duo gained attention for their unique sonic palette, filled with sirens, buzzing synths, and a sickly sticky producer tag “I love music”, – laying the ropes for EQvision. With just one released track, collaborations with the scene’s sleaziest stars such as Babymorocco, MAJA, and Isabella Lovestory followed, amping up anticipation for their debut EP.

“You want the DJ/ Bitch, I’m the DJ” – EQ

Based in Buenos Aires, Estratosfera (E) and Qiri (Q), both artists and producers in their own right, joining forces under EQ. Worldbuilding a uniquely feminine and digitally nostalgic space— wired earphones tangle themselves around the polished angels dancing in undefined space and time. Partying for and with the girls in their music video for B.S.A.S. (Si Alguna Vez te Sentís Sola de Noche), as sequins, cigarettes, and sparkles fly wild. On their debut, tracks like “Girls My Age” and “Subway Lullaby” stand out, leaning into more atmospheric qualities, radio signals pierce, cellphones ring, and placing their work in a urban land of their own. Sticking to their clubby roots, “ 7’Mix” closes out the EP, a classically EQ take on the classic club tool, a 7min long punchy club sonata, declaring with full vocal fry—- “Eat, Party, Sleep, Repeat”.
