The Mortal Coil by Maude Vôs explores the unwinding of reality. As humans, our lives are but a thread, wound in experiences, sewn together in the loom of time.

The Maiden of the Matrix is the first track Kita and Maude Vôs have written together in 7 years. Prior to their solo projects they produced music together for a number of years as a duo. Rewinding even further back, “Kita and I met on a dance floor over 10 years ago and were instantly soul bonded. She was my first real collaborator and mentored me through the beginning of my production journey. She continues to inspire me to find my voice, dig into my well of experience and to ground into what feels aligned with my soul purpose”. Kita has lived in Bali for the last 5 years, as a sound healer at the Temples of Chi. “Although life has pulled us sonically and physically in different directions, this song reflects our continued connection over the past decade”. The Maiden of the Matrix more specifically delves into unity through community especially in the chaos of the world. During these times we must continue to open our hearts, and show up meaningfully; this will be the remedy, the anchor and the expander.

Pulling up on the b-side is Onyx Era, Maude’s first go at a DNB tune. “DNB was my portal into electronic music. It was the first genre I found movement with on the dance floor. I wanted to make a tune that showcases depth and grounding juxtaposed hype, energy and activation that makes one dance”. Onyx Era is a dubby liquid tune with “jump up” style interludes that drop us into our solar plexus while simultaneously carrying us cerebrally.

Shimmering with metallic warmth, fluid melodies, and dark tension, Maude Vôs’ productions and live performances are marked by an infectious energy and multifaceted enthusiasm for creating and connecting. Channeling the organic flow of a studio wired with a panoply of hardware gear, the Los Angeles-based artist has cultivated a growing catalog of distinctive releases and remixes alongside their professional work as a sound designer and composer. As a DJ, their sparkling, psychedelic mixes are filled with lush atmospheres, whispered vocals, and synthesizer music of all genres. Vôs appears in the book Patch and Tweak with Korg (Bjooks, 2022), was recently named an artist to watch by DJ Mag, and has been featured by SPIN Magazine and Perfect Circuit. Dynamic and deeply felt, their creativity shines with an optimistic, expansive vision of mutual exchange and soul connection.

On remix duties for Maiden of the Matrix, we have queer, Naarm/Melbourne based producer, D.Tyrone with a feisty hardgroove take that puts their mission of making music that's purpose-built to move queer bodies and to fill horny and/or moody clubs on full display. Our second remixer, Carré, turns up the speed to quicken your pulse. Carré is many things: a dynamic and unyielding DJ, a co-founder of Fast At Work, a future-minded underground party in Los Angeles, and most recently, a debut producer on the rise.

Step into the Maude Vôs matrix full of booming, breathtaking bass and echoing melodies, complete with vicious flows and rolling rhythms that’ll have you ready for more. This is one of those projects that makes you melt right from the start. This is one of those “yeah this is my personality now” kind of projects. One of those projects to put on repeat and never look back.
