SELENA FAIDER, ZUZU SILK, AND BALI RELEASE NEW SINGLE “SLOW DOWN”

OUT NOW via NOIR FEVER

NOIR FEVER’S FIRST PUBLISHING SIGNING ZUZU SILK CONTINUES HER RISE WITH NEW COLLABORATION

Zuzu Silk, Selena Faider and Bali have joined forces on “Slow Down,” a new single released today through Aluna’s Noir Fever.

Balancing deep, techy house production with Zuzu’s silky, pop-leaning vocals, “Slow Down” captures the rush of a romance moving too quickly to control. A warm bassline and restrained club groove provide the foundation as Zuzu gives voice to the tension between recognizing the warning signs and surrendering to the momentum.

“It’s so easy to get caught up in a high-speed romance, even when the signs are telling you to slow down, even when you know you could crash,” Zuzu says. “Working with Bali and their sound has been therapeutic and allowed me to put my whole heart into this record. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Selena put her spin on it and made it soar.”

The single marks the latest step in Zuzu’s development through Noir Fever. After emerging as a standout at the label’s first writing camp (and collaborating with AQUTIE on “Big Bag Bounce”), she became the first artist signed to its publishing arm and entered a period of close mentorship and creative development with Aluna. The partnership reflects Noir Fever’s broader mission to build an ecosystem where Black artists in electronic music can access the collaborators, resources, and long-term support needed to develop sustainable careers.

“The first time I heard Zuzu Silk’s voice, I knew there was something magical about it,” Selena says. “Releasing this one on Noir Fever feels like the perfect match, a track made for an endless summer.”

Paris-born Selena Faider has quickly become one of Europe’s rising house talents, earning recognition as one of 1001Tracklists’ Future of Dance 2025 artists and praise from DJ Mag as “The Future of House.” Following her collaborative debut “Underground World” with New York house pioneer Todd Terry, her productions have received support from BBC Radio 1, Capital Dance, and Kiss FM. Her growing live profile has included appearances at Glastonbury, Capital Dance Malta, Uncommon Festival, and ADE.

California electronic duo Bali bring a warm, groove-led approach to the collaboration. With previous releases through Nervous Records, Criterio, and Warner Music Italy, the pair have earned support from Marco Carola, Dennis Cruz, Deeper Purpose, and Wade while developing a sound rooted in house music’s capacity for escapism and connection.

ØTTA RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM PELE DE MAR OUT NOW VIA HOTTIES

FEAT. LUA DE SANTANA, BIBI BABYDOLL, FIAH MIAU

Portugal-born artist, producer, and DJ ØTTA has released her debut album PELE DE MAR, out now via her own label and global party brand HOTTIES.

Spanning eight tracks, PELE DE MAR brings together the sounds, places, and relationships that have shaped ØTTA throughout her life. Moving between Lisbon, London, and South America, the album channels more than a decade of musical evolution into a borderless, club-driven body of work rooted in techno, UK garage, Brazilian funk, Latin rhythms, and high-energy rave music.

The album’s title has no exact English translation, but it can be understood as the surface, or skin, of the sea. For ØTTA, it imagines the oceans themselves becoming her skin, connecting the countries and cultures that have formed her identity as both an artist and a person.

PELE DE MAR opens with “RIO,” a fitting introduction to an album forged entirely in Rio de Janeiro. The percussive track serves as a love letter to the city and its culture, opening with Brazilian vocalist Clara Ribeiro re-delivering Elza Soares’ legendary verse, “Rio de Janeiro gosto de você.” Elsewhere, “GATA FINA” pairs a fast, high-energy club sound with Argentine artist Fiah Miau’s unmistakable attitude, Lua de Santana brings Portuguese lyrics and Brazilian funk to “REBOLA DE SALTO,” and Bibi Babydoll’s phonk energy collides with ØTTA’s rave-centric production on “4X4.”

The album’s other tracks connect ØTTA’s Brazilian surroundings with the wider range of places and sounds that shaped her. “PULSO.” combines sensual house and Latin rhythms with bass-heavy grooves, while “FRIO” folds the UK garage of her London years into her harder techno sound. “THAT SNACK” offers a more introspective turn before “SAUDADE” closes the record with propulsive rhythms and beautiful guitar melodies, bringing PELE DE MAR’s borderless journey to a warm, evocative conclusion.
 

PELE DE MAR Tracklist:
1. ØTTA - RIO
2. ØTTA - GATA FINA feat. FIAH
3. ØTTA - PULSO.
4. ØTTA - REBOLA DE SALTO feat. LUA DE SANTANA
5. ØTTA - 4X4 feat. BIBI BABYDOLL
6. ØTTA - FRIO
7. ØTTA - THAT SNACK
8. ØTTA - SAUDADE

Before ØTTA broke through with her high-energy debut Plus One EP in 2020, music and art had been a constant thread throughout her life. She spent six years playing in an orchestra before studying art and architecture, absorbing a language of symmetry, repetition, and structure that continues to define her approach to music.

That instinct has carried through her breakout Boiler Room performance in Manchester and into HOTTIES, the label and event series she established to foster creativity within her community. With PELE DE MAR, ØTTA brings those experiences together for the first time in a complete album, tracing not only her 12 years as a musician, but the people, places, and relationships that made her who she is.

The story of ‘Desert Sunrise’: ‘We wrote this track while preparing for our Maxa x Mayan Warrior sunrise set at Burning Man 2025. After sharing a sunrise set together the year before, we wanted to compose a special intro for this unforgettable moment and capture the feeling of a sunrise in the desert. Some songs become the soundtrack to moments you'll never forget, and this has been one of those for us. Every time we hear it, it brings back incredible memories. We hope it resonates with you in the same way and becomes part of many special moments in your life.’ Colyn & Sainte Vie
