About this episode

This episode features an interview with Gigi, discussing her new album and innovative contributions to music.

Every episode of OOTB is special, but today is a bit different… today is the release day of  “double take recognition violence,”  the second album from sydney producer and dj gi. This is gi’s follow up to  thought makes music , one of the best albums of 2024, and nominated for record of the year at the 2024 smac awards, and with this, she picks up where she left off. Gi’s signature take on “idm,” is unmistakable, but evolved with double take recognition violence, putting more of a focus on atmosphere and less on the experimental drum and bass sounds, and the result is breathtaking. Gigi, who performs and releases electronic music as gi also fronts the punk band optic nerve, who last released  angel numbers in 2023, another record that was nominated for record of the year at the fbi smac awards. Truly one of the most innovative and thoughtful artists in Sydney, i’m lucky to be joined by gigi on ootb today. This episode was presented to you by Matt Do and produced by Kass Vincent. Out of the Box is recorded at the fbi station in Redfern, which is on unceded Gadigal Land. We pay our respects to Gadigal elders past…
