On 27th May, Ostgut Ton will drop Fierce For The Night, Virginia’s debut album.
Virginia has been strongly affiliated with the label for several years, having released a few EPs for Ostgut Ton as well as being a longstanding resident at Berghain/Panorama Bar, Ostgut Ton’s sister clubs. Fierce For The Night, her first full-length with the label, was co-produced by Dutch artists Martyn, Dexter and Steffi (whom Virginia worked with on her LP Yours & Mine), and features her vocals on all 11 tracks.
According to the label, the songs are centred around themes of love, lust and life. Virginia explains, “Love, longing and lightness are the superior motifs of my album. They’re universal human emotions, but also part of the classic house music narrative.” Taking influence from funk, disco, UK garage, drum & bass and house, it is “first and foremost an album about relationships” whose message is to “go out, enjoy yourself, loosen up and take what’s good for you.”
Set for release digitally and on vinyl, clips of album cuts Funkert and Raverd can be streamed below where the full tracklist is detailed.
