Sofia Kourtesis | Madres

Gatefold black double vinyl

‘Madres’ is, unsurprisingly, dedicated to Kourtesis’ mother. More surprising though, it is also dedicated to world-renowned neurosurgeon Peter Vajkoczy. The story of how a world-renowned neurosurgeon came to appear in the liner notes of this record is one of tenacity, miracles, all-consuming love and ultimately, of hope.

When she began work on her debut, Kourtesis was seemingly unstoppable. A string of rapturously received EPs and singles made her one of the fastest rising stars in the electronic world and beyond. She has already graced the cover of Mixmag, released a brilliantly energetic and moving Resident Advisor RA Session, appeared on End Of Year lists from the likes of The New York Times, Pitchfork and DJ Mag, and played instant sell-out early shows at London’s Lafayette and Manchester’s YES, as well as standout performances at Glastonbury, Green Man, Wide Awake and Primavera, and tours supporting Caribou and Bicep.
