Move over, Tinkerbell! There are new fairys in town. Fagget Fairys are here to get your feet moving and your ears tingling with big grimy basslines, sensual vocals, and saucy balkan styles. It's a true lesbian love story.

Fagget Fairys is the story of the 19 year old Ena - model, club kid, and all-around bad ass - who after a brief meeting at the Copenhagen nightclub, Vega- fell hard for the DJ, Carla Cammilla Hjort aka DJ Sensimilla, ten years her senior. She fell so hard in fact, that in an attempt to impress, she to stage dived from the DJ booth right onto a beer bottle, leading to 15 stitches and a busted knee.

At the time, Carla Cammilla was already in a relationship, and Ena's muslim upbringing remained a limiting factor in her life. But neither their love, nor their music, could be denied- and two years after the fateful evening at Vega, they are engaged to be married, and ready with their smash debut full length album, Feed The Horse, recorded and produced in New York City with Grammy award winning Rasmus Bille Bähncke as lead producer side by side with Carla.

"Jesus Christ" were the first words out of Carla Cammilla's mouth when her mother suggested that she look up the New York based Dane- whose Grammy was not awarded for streetsmart electro, but rather for the pop stylings of the likes of Mary J Blige, Elton John, and the Backsteet Boys. Because Bähncke had no particular preconceptions of how club music should sound, but knew exactly how to cut a hit pop song- the result became the ever elusive club/pop crossover album. Feed the Horse is a true-school club album with the texture and delicateness of his Danish contemporaries, and yet also manages to be a solid pop album full of catchy riffs, organic instruments, and varied melodic structure.

For the past six years, Carla Cammilla has lived and worked as a professional DJ in Copenhagen. With her art-music-fashion collective, ArtRebels, the annual 3 day music festival she started, Trailer Park Festival, as well as the her no-nonsense approach to cultural progress, she's become known as one of the most catalytic and creative forces in Copenhagen.

Ena arrived in a Danish refugee camp as a one-year-old, after her Muslim parents were forced to flee a crumbling Yugoslavia, in the midst of civil war. Despite her young age, she has already managed to live her life as a successful runway model, handball player, high school drop out, ArtRebel and soon to be cafe owner -and yet- despite all of her success, she remains the black sheep of her family.

Together, Fagget Fairys have impressed crowds from all over the place - from New York City to Berlin, from Copenhagen to Paris, and everywhere in between. Carla Cammilla's superb mixing and knob twiddling and Ena's untouchable vocal performances tear down club after club, and leave fans in love. With their debut EP, Samo Ti, released in 2008 by New York label, Palms Out Sounds, and featuring remixes from club darlings Drop the Lime & AC Slater among others, the Fairys' rumored full length debut became a hot ticket, and it was quickly snatched up by Danish club-icon Kenneth Bager, for his Music For Dreams imprint, where it will be released in March 2009.

Fagget Fairys are an explosive cocktail of Islam, lesbianism, true love, and relentless beats. They're sure to make your feet move and to put a smile on your face. Enjoy!
