The last year in Maya Bouldry-Morrison’s life has been eventful, to say the least. Although she knew that publicly coming out as transgender meant that her work as Octo Octa would never again be viewed the same way, she didn’t necessarily anticipate that she’d be so quickly welcomed into an international network of queer artists, parties and collectives within the world of electronic music. Honey Soundsystem is one of the key players in that network, and the San Francisco-based label just so happens to be releasing the newest Octo Octa album, *Where Are We Going?* With the LP set to drop this week, Octo Octa speaks about how her transition factored into the record while also contrasting the (mostly) positive response she’s received with the everyday reality of living as a trans woman. Also stopping in for a chat is Brooklyn duo Teengirl Fantasy, whose blissed-out new album, *8AM*, is being issued this week via Planet Mu.
