Heavily inspired by the club-inflected sounds of Y2K rap and \u201c2010s bangers\u201d, her newest EP, <\/span><em><span>Press X<\/span><\/em><span>, is a provocative \u2013 and infectious \u2013 take on club music, a \u201ctrap rave baddie mixtape\u201d in her own words. \u201c<\/span><span>It\u2019s me taking up space and just showing myself unapologetically and just enjoying the person I\u2019ve grown to be,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Accompanying the release is a raunchy music video for the track \u201cXXX\u201d, which transports viewers into an alternative universe, where social media subliminals encourage users to consume X-shaped cakes that alter their perception of reality. Featuring Evissimax, real name Eva, at home, hallucinating a vampy club scene packed with saucer-eyed dancers and dark room antics, her message is loud and clear: rave is just a state of mind. <\/span><span>As Eva puts it, \u201cX represents danger, sexuality, sex, finding your place. X marks the spot\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For her exclusive Dazed mix, Evissimax shares a raucous selection, including Slim Soledad, DJ Slugo, and DJ Funk.<\/span><span> \u201cI recently rewatched <\/span><em><span>Blade<\/span><\/em><span>, so this mix is very Black, vampy, sexy, acid, percussive, and techno,\u201d she explains. \u201cI wanted it to feel like the infamous club scene from the movie with a little bit more booty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Congrats on <\/strong><strong><em>PRESS X<\/em><\/strong><strong>. What is some of the thinking behind the EP, and its name?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax:<\/strong><span> Thank you so much! I wanted to make an EP that was very in your face and unapologetically baddie bossy. Through very cheeky lyrics, I wanted to let go of anger and a period of my life where I was made to feel little. I believed my voice didn\u2019t matter and that I wasn\u2019t allowed to take up space, so that\u2019s exactly what <\/span><em><span>PRESS X<\/span><\/em><span> is to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I came up with the song names first and wanted every song to have an X present. The symbology of X is very important to me. When I just started DJing and had to pick my name, I was indecisive between Evissima and Evissimax. In Italian, when you add -issima to adjectives, it means \u2018the most\u2019 of something, so the X is like the most of the most. I was told that I would maybe get bored of the X and it would get obnoxious real quick. But, as someone who was, and sometimes still is, a people pleaser, the idea of being so obnoxiously myself was the thing that pushed me into choosing Evissimax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It was such an empowering journey creating this EP with my producer, Deriansky. He really helped me amplify my voice and create the <\/span><em><span>PRESS X<\/span><\/em><span> world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The EP is inspired by the rap anthems that shaped your adolescence. Any artists\/tracks in particular?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>I listened to so much Khia; she was definitely the biggest inspo lyrics-wise. But also Lil Wayne\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Lights Out<\/span><\/em><span> album, in particular. Ying Yang twins, Gucci Mane, Wake Flocka, and David Banner. A lot of 2000s southern rap and 2010s bangers. I love the feel rap had between the 2000s and the 2010s. The beats were super clubby and sexy \u2013 and the lyrics were too naasssttyyy.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cListen to whatever hypes you up. I\u2019ve felt super cunty listening to some Erykah Badu and Sade\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What makes the ultimate baddie mixtape?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax:<\/strong><span> I would say anything that makes you feel like the hottest person in the room. Definitely a mixtape you sing along to and with every bar, your confidence just gets higher and higher, and the beat has gotta make you move, drop it, shake it, all of that. It doesn\u2019t need to be rap; listen to whatever hypes you up. I\u2019ve felt super cunty listening to some Erykah Badu and Sade, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get into DJing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>I actually started by randomly deciding to go to my friend\u2019s collective, Slipmode\u2019s DJ workshop. It was a very safe space to explore something new for me, and I loved it so much. I got my first controller that day and just dived fully into becoming a DJ. I asked every single one of my DJ friends for lessons, and thankfully, they were kind enough to help me out. This is why I say that community is so important to me. Without Slipmode or my label Funclab, all my DJ friends and their kindness, I probably wouldn\u2019t be Evissimax.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"WQNQ4H6Y6E8\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WQNQ4H6Y6E8\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Do you have a favourite track you like to play?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>Oh my god. It changes every few months. I would say recently I\u2019ve loved playing a blend between \u201cM.F.U remix\u201d by M3B8 and DJ Travella\u2019s \u201cMchakamchaka\u201d \u2013 a very afro-trap, high-energy blend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe your perfect day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>Start with breakfast in a bar with an espresso macchiato and the butteriest croissant ever. Then go to an amazing studio. I was recently in one called Studio Delta in Paris, phenomenal, so a studio like that with my producer friends, and we just go crazy and flow the whole day, writing a bunch of songs, then back home for a nap. Late,r getting together with friends for a nice dinner with some natural wine, and then ending with a fun club night, where we shake booty and a DJ set that isn\u2019t too late in the night, so I can sleep some more. I\u2019m a baddie who loves to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best and worst advice you\u2019ve ever received?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>Best advice is, \u2018it\u2019s not that deep\u2019, or \u2018get a grip\u2019. I say that a lot to myself and to my friends. I\u2019m someone who suffers from anxiety, and I\u2019m an extreme overthinker. Sometimes, I need to remind myself it isn\u2019t that deep, kind of slap myself out of it. Whatever it is, I can handle it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The worst advice I\u2019ve received is, \u2018you don\u2019t need anyone\u2019, along the lines of being cutthroat, and doing it on your own to achieve your goals. I\u2019ve never agreed with that. I feel like, as a society, we\u2019ve become hyper-independent and feel like if we have people who helped us along the way, it\u2019s less of a win or less worthy. People love to say, \u2018I did this all on my own\u2019, and whenever I hear that, I think that it must be so lonely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your Dazed mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>I really, really love this mix. I recently rewatched <\/span><em><span>Blade<\/span><\/em><span>, so this mix is very black, vampy, sexy, acid, percussive, techno.

Heavily inspired by the club-inflected sounds of Y2K rap and \u201c2010s bangers\u201d, her newest EP, <\/span><em><span>Press X<\/span><\/em><span>, is a provocative \u2013 and infectious \u2013 take on club music, a \u201ctrap rave baddie mixtape\u201d in her own words. \u201c<\/span><span>It\u2019s me taking up space and just showing myself unapologetically and just enjoying the person I\u2019ve grown to be,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Accompanying the release is a raunchy music video for the track \u201cXXX\u201d, which transports viewers into an alternative universe, where social media subliminals encourage users to consume X-shaped cakes that alter their perception of reality. Featuring Evissimax, real name Eva, at home, hallucinating a vampy club scene packed with saucer-eyed dancers and dark room antics, her message is loud and clear: rave is just a state of mind. <\/span><span>As Eva puts it, \u201cX represents danger, sexuality, sex, finding your place. X marks the spot\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For her exclusive Dazed mix, Evissimax shares a raucous selection, including Slim Soledad, DJ Slugo, and DJ Funk.<\/span><span> \u201cI recently rewatched <\/span><em><span>Blade<\/span><\/em><span>, so this mix is very Black, vampy, sexy, acid, percussive, and techno,\u201d she explains. \u201cI wanted it to feel like the infamous club scene from the movie with a little bit more booty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Congrats on <\/strong><strong><em>PRESS X<\/em><\/strong><strong>. What is some of the thinking behind the EP, and its name?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax:<\/strong><span> Thank you so much! I wanted to make an EP that was very in your face and unapologetically baddie bossy. Through very cheeky lyrics, I wanted to let go of anger and a period of my life where I was made to feel little. I believed my voice didn\u2019t matter and that I wasn\u2019t allowed to take up space, so that\u2019s exactly what <\/span><em><span>PRESS X<\/span><\/em><span> is to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I came up with the song names first and wanted every song to have an X present. The symbology of X is very important to me. When I just started DJing and had to pick my name, I was indecisive between Evissima and Evissimax. In Italian, when you add -issima to adjectives, it means \u2018the most\u2019 of something, so the X is like the most of the most. I was told that I would maybe get bored of the X and it would get obnoxious real quick. But, as someone who was, and sometimes still is, a people pleaser, the idea of being so obnoxiously myself was the thing that pushed me into choosing Evissimax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It was such an empowering journey creating this EP with my producer, Deriansky. He really helped me amplify my voice and create the <\/span><em><span>PRESS X<\/span><\/em><span> world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The EP is inspired by the rap anthems that shaped your adolescence. Any artists\/tracks in particular?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>I listened to so much Khia; she was definitely the biggest inspo lyrics-wise. But also Lil Wayne\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Lights Out<\/span><\/em><span> album, in particular. Ying Yang twins, Gucci Mane, Wake Flocka, and David Banner. A lot of 2000s southern rap and 2010s bangers. I love the feel rap had between the 2000s and the 2010s. The beats were super clubby and sexy \u2013 and the lyrics were too naasssttyyy.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cListen to whatever hypes you up. I\u2019ve felt super cunty listening to some Erykah Badu and Sade\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What makes the ultimate baddie mixtape?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax:<\/strong><span> I would say anything that makes you feel like the hottest person in the room. Definitely a mixtape you sing along to and with every bar, your confidence just gets higher and higher, and the beat has gotta make you move, drop it, shake it, all of that. It doesn\u2019t need to be rap; listen to whatever hypes you up. I\u2019ve felt super cunty listening to some Erykah Badu and Sade, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get into DJing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>I actually started by randomly deciding to go to my friend\u2019s collective, Slipmode\u2019s DJ workshop. It was a very safe space to explore something new for me, and I loved it so much. I got my first controller that day and just dived fully into becoming a DJ. I asked every single one of my DJ friends for lessons, and thankfully, they were kind enough to help me out. This is why I say that community is so important to me. Without Slipmode or my label Funclab, all my DJ friends and their kindness, I probably wouldn\u2019t be Evissimax.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"WQNQ4H6Y6E8\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WQNQ4H6Y6E8\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Do you have a favourite track you like to play?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>Oh my god. It changes every few months. I would say recently I\u2019ve loved playing a blend between \u201cM.F.U remix\u201d by M3B8 and DJ Travella\u2019s \u201cMchakamchaka\u201d \u2013 a very afro-trap, high-energy blend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe your perfect day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>Start with breakfast in a bar with an espresso macchiato and the butteriest croissant ever. Then go to an amazing studio. I was recently in one called Studio Delta in Paris, phenomenal, so a studio like that with my producer friends, and we just go crazy and flow the whole day, writing a bunch of songs, then back home for a nap. Late,r getting together with friends for a nice dinner with some natural wine, and then ending with a fun club night, where we shake booty and a DJ set that isn\u2019t too late in the night, so I can sleep some more. I\u2019m a baddie who loves to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best and worst advice you\u2019ve ever received?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>Best advice is, \u2018it\u2019s not that deep\u2019, or \u2018get a grip\u2019. I say that a lot to myself and to my friends. I\u2019m someone who suffers from anxiety, and I\u2019m an extreme overthinker. Sometimes, I need to remind myself it isn\u2019t that deep, kind of slap myself out of it. Whatever it is, I can handle it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The worst advice I\u2019ve received is, \u2018you don\u2019t need anyone\u2019, along the lines of being cutthroat, and doing it on your own to achieve your goals. I\u2019ve never agreed with that. I feel like, as a society, we\u2019ve become hyper-independent and feel like if we have people who helped us along the way, it\u2019s less of a win or less worthy. People love to say, \u2018I did this all on my own\u2019, and whenever I hear that, I think that it must be so lonely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your Dazed mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evissimax: <\/strong><span>I really, really love this mix.
