Why the Spanish title, and what’s most exciting for you about this record?ĮA: In the summer I’m based in Ibiza and Berlin, in the winter I’m in Mexico for some weeks, so it just came into my mind. HS: Your latest release, ‘La Musica Es Dios’, is a punchy and dark mantra. I love playing here because I constantly meet nice people and every time the locations I am playing music in are just outstanding. HS: What were you most looking forward to in playing in the world’s coldest festival? You visit Montreal regularly, and have even hosted a Vinylism event here – what are your impressions of our local scene?ĮA: Igloofest + Boiler Room was very impressive! The location, the sound system and the snow melting on my face during my set – this sensation while mixing was a totally new experience to me! Montreal has a very strong music scene and lot’s of creativity and art. It’s possible for me to share my music here - you can find lot’s of emotions, good venues and of course amazing spicy food in Mexico! I’m still here, but now on a four week vacation. Nature took over here, and I really felt so grounded and protected surrounded by all the trees and their roots. First event in Tulum was the Day Zero festival in the middle of the jungle… with all the trees and nature and cenotes. Each city and area and show was very different. How did the shows go, and what struck you the most about Mexic o?ĮA: Mexico feels very good! It was a pleasure for me to share music and vibrations here. HS: We’re catching you fresh out of your Mexico tour. We got the chance to catch up with one of our biggest inspirations to chat about her views on Montreal, Berlin, vinyl club set ups and more – until next time. She sweeps up the set with her latest release, La Musica Es Dios, an uncompromising push forward in her label UFO Inc.’s exploration of new realms. Ellen Allien is as creative and giving in her approach as ever, bringing massive energy to every track, twist, and transition. We’re left with a recording of perhaps the coldest ever Boiler Room set: a slick techno masterclass leaping to and from gems by the likes of Royksopp, Burial, DJ Rush, Héctor Oaks and more. Following another hard-hitting Montreal performance, Ellen Allien is already well off to new horizons.
