Items & Things

Magda is an artist who can never be pinned down, no matter the timeframe or time signature. Any one of the Detroit-raised artist's DJ sets or productions breeds a rare feel of mystique and discovery. "I'm really obsessed with finding a line between things - between sounds and between genres. My influences come from a life spent in very different environments, which plays a huge role in the way I connect with music."

Dramatic sounds and eccentric basslines carry her multilayered sound, which veers everywhere from funked-out space disco to the intricately-programmed, metallic feel of Detroit to stripped down techno, all the way to Italian horror film soundtracks. The only thing that remains consistent is the element of surprise.

Her accidental entry into Detroit's underground party scene as a teenager was the kick-start she needed for a lifelong love affair. Soon all became a blur of "cities, record stores, and parties." In 1998, she joined Minus and began touring the world as Richie Hawtin's sole opener. From there, her distinctive sound began to develop and the rest is history.

Stylistically, Magda grooves through opposition - creating sets that are emotion-led yet clinical, having profound expertise with analog and digital technology. Her sound is otherworldly but visceral; dark with a warm sense of beauty and grace; sparse yet wondrously full-bodied with density and bass-swathed extremes. Magda's DJing style has been encapsulated on her mixed CDs 'She's A Dancing Machine,' and her mix for London club Fabric 'Fabric 49' (a mix CD with as much artistry and vision as an original album).

In the fall of 2010, Magda revealed her debut, 'From The Fallen Page,' a darkly- tinged, transportive album that curiously combines natural, organic sounds, and modern electronic grace. Similar to her unpredictable DJ sets, 'From The Fallen Page' took listeners from one end of the spectrum to the other, treading the fine lines of extremities along the way.

These days Magda isn't home very often. In-between touring, she's fully focused on her recently resurrected label 'Items & Things.' The label's vision always pinpoints the off-kilter and the uncommon, seeking out new artists and sounds that push boundaries. "Items and things are bits and pieces of uniqueness we come across. The label is a platform to launch the music that we love. There are no rules, just sounds we like and artists we believe in."

Lost In Time
Magda Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Well you are stuck in traffic jam
Buy your booze in time
Stores are closed at 9 pm
Buy your booze in time
No one cares if you make it or not
Buy your booze in time
Buy your fucking booze in time
If you want to party hard

Buy your booze in time

Overall Meaning

In Magda's song "Lost In Time," the lyrics touch upon the frustrations and limitations of daily life. The opening lines depict the experience of being stuck in a traffic jam, which can be seen as a metaphor for feeling trapped or stagnant in one's routines or circumstances. This image is followed by the repetition of the phrase "Buy your booze in time," highlighting the escapism and release that alcohol often represents for many individuals.

The subsequent lines introduce the idea that stores close early at 9 pm, emphasizing the limited opportunities one has to indulge and enjoy oneself within the constraints of societal norms. There is a sense of urgency conveyed through the repetition of "Buy your fucking booze in time," suggesting that time is fleeting and that one must seize every opportunity to let loose and enjoy life to the fullest.

The overall interpretation of these lyrics suggests a desire for liberation, a longing to break free from the mundane and monotonous aspects of existence. It portrays an individual who craves the chance to embrace their rebellious side and party hard, but is constantly reminded of the restrictions and limitations imposed by society.
