„You can always rely on the residents. They know the club, the crowd, the sound system, and they are a pillar of the musical identity of a club, just as important as the architecture, the acoustics or the interior design," Nick Höppner once said in Groove. Our monthly Resident Podcast aims to give the residents of clubs and collectives working locally and internationally the attention and respect they deserve.
The Polish collective has been a vital force in the wider dance music scene not only because of its events in different cities, but also it fostered discussions around the under-representation of women, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ people as well as Eastern European artists and DJs on an international scale. Having recently launched the new initiative Same Baby, Oramics now also offers a database of Poland-based DJs "who identify as girls, non-binary people and femme."
ISNT is the founder of the collective that also counts dogheadsurigeri, Idę na, Mala Herba, Monster and Paulina Żaczek as its members. In the interview that accompanies the producer and DJ's "hard and intense" contribution to our Resident Podcast, she explains how Oramics grew out of the Behind the Stage collective, how the project has since changed and what hopes to achieve with Same Baby as well as its criticism of the Western music press.
