BBC6 The Ravers hour, Zoë Mc Pherson in the mix

The Wire interview by Oli Warwick - April 2023

Dazed interview

DJ Mag : Selections
“ZOË MC PHERSON delights in the unpredictable. On their third album, 'Pitch Blender', the Berlin-based, French-Irish artist conjures beats that spark, swerve and explode like rogue fireworks. Across 10 tracks, hyperkinetic drums reference footwork, drill & bass and the high-speed sound of singeli, but their music really operates on a plane of its own. These synapse-snapping patterns and polyrhythms are pieced together thanks to Mc Pherson's impeccable sound design, through which they build a dazzling, widescreen world out of shapeshifting synths, shadowy vocal chops and mercurial bass. It's a mind-melting formula that Mc Pherson has developed over years as a multimedia artist, producer, DJ, live performer and founder of the SFX label and AV platform. They've performed at festivals including Berlin's CTM and Uganda's Nyege Nyege, and have collaborated with artists like Jessica Ekomane, Ciarra Black, and DJ Diaki & Jay Mitta (as 3OK), bringing an exhilarating sense of invention and ambition to every project”

Bandcamp best of February 2020 by Joe Muggs
“Each of these jams, whether they flutter delicately or thunder with kickdrums, sounds like ritual music from some post-human society”

Hyponik by Esme Bennett
“Adventurous and elusive, the album is a comprehensive dive into ‘electro-naturalism’, manipulating her own vocal work as an instrument for glitch-rife glossy soundscapes. The result is a rousing body of hybrid techno-artistry for a multiplex of listening.”

Subbacultcha The Best of Belgium
“With String Figures the interdisciplinary artist from Brussels succeeded in creating a perfect blend of richly layered textures of noise, traditional and club music. This could be a new treasure if you’re into Holly Herndon, Lucrecia Dalt and Lotic”
