LABEL LAB - 08 w/ Maria Cue & Alberta Balsam (Terra Atomika)

In this episode Maria Cue invites the Rotterdam cosmic runner Alberta Balsam to get deep into her label Terra Atomika. About her: Always searching for that sweet spot between IDM, breakbeats, bass, electro, and leftfield techno. Over the past five years, her hardware-driven live performances have been a highlight, with appearances at festivals like Dekmantel and Draaimolen. She blends heavy machinery with improvised live vocals. Having released on labels such as Clone and Dekmantel, she goes one steap ahead creating her own imprint, Terra Atomika. In her own words: "terra atomika was started as a way to be completely free, to be able to also release things that don't fit neatly in the 'club music' box, but orbit around it. The name terra atomika comes from 'atomic worlds' which means all releases are tiny, self contained worlds."
