The limited edition Deproduction EP 1 12” includes a new 17-minute version of ‘Names Have Been Changed’, which explores scenes of domestic violence; B-side remix ‘Sprinkles’ House Arrest’ pairs this against a deep house instrumentals.

Thaemlitz has consistently brought gender, identity and sociopolitical messages to the music she creates, as in her seminal Midtown 120 Blues LP:

“House is not universal. House is hyper-specific: East Jersey, Loisaida, West Village, Brooklyn – places that conjure specific beats and sounds,” she explains.

“The contexts from which the Deep House sound emerged are forgotten: sexual and gender crises, transgendered sex work, black market hormones, drug and alcohol addiction, loneliness, racism, HIV, ACT-UP, Thompkins Sq. Park, police brutality, queer-bashing, underpayment, unemployment and censorship – all at 120 beats per minute.”
