Welcome to deBasement – born from the afterhours parties of Montreal and New Orleans, deBasement is comprised of Alli Logout, iconic vocalist of the critically acclaimed punk outfit Special Interest, and Margo XS, an esteemed DJ and highly in-demand producer who collaborates with pop stars such as Zara Larsson and Kim Petras, and underground darlings like Ayesha Erotica and Mowalola.
Blasting onto the scene with their double single debut “FRONT LEFT SPEAKER / FTDJ (Thank God)” via In Real Life [Peggy Gou, Erika DeCasier, Luna Li, MethMath] in August, deBasement has already captivated listeners with their futuristic production, punk confrontation and undeniable vocal hooks. Deeply inspired by and uplifting their FLINTA* community, deBasement is rewriting the rules of LA’s DIY queer rave scene with their explosive live sets, and has already supported acts like Model Actriz, Hannah Diamond, and Marie Davidson (who will feature on their debut EP outFeruary 2025). With just a few releases under their belt, the duo’s unique blend of dance punk and modern ghettotech has already caught the attention of Pitchfork, AG Cook’s Wandcamp Media, Our Culture Mag, Matt Wilkinson on Apple 1, Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1, and more. In a landscape saturated with predictable dance music, deBasement is injecting a much-needed dose of raunchy, raw authenticity – and its only just the beginning.
