Beatportal Exclusive: Greta Levska Reconfigures the Club Template with ‘Las Perras’
Greta Levska’s new release Las Perras on Get Physical marks a significant moment in her progression as a producer and selector. It's a track that captures the tension between spontaneity and precision—built for DJs, but not bound by convention. Made in collaboration with Third Culture, a joint project from Sian and Sacha Robotti, the release is sharp, percussive, and unafraid to deviate from the expected.
The Making of Las Perras
The collaboration sparked naturally after Levska had been rinsing Third Culture’s U Move in her sets. “It was actually one of my favourite tracks to play last summer,” she says. “We kept in touch and started bouncing stems back and forth.” The workflow was immediate, driven by a mutual understanding of how music is meant to function in a club. “They work fast and know how to make things pop. I’d send them a sketch and we’d get a version back almost instantly—it was refreshing.”
According to Levska, the track was designed for that critical moment in a set when a change in pace is needed without losing control of the room. “I play it when I want to break away from 4x4 but still keep the energy tense. The broken beat gives the crowd something unexpected—especially when the room’s already sweating.”
Precision Tools with Personality
What stands out in Las Perras is its hybrid identity. The track has the crispness of modern electro but is delivered with a toughness rooted in club dynamics. “We didn’t want anything too clean. The goal was to keep some grit—something to offset the tightness of the arrangement,” Levska explains. “There’s distortion tucked underneath everything. It gives the track body.”
The Latin vocal loop wasn’t pre-planned. “We stumbled across it and it just snapped the arrangement into place. It added that final layer of personality—something unexpected but memorable.”
Raw Material: Mr Funk
The B-side, Mr Funk, emerged in the lead-up to a show in Barcelona, and captures a different side of Levska’s sound—less refined, more impulsive. “I was just jamming before the gig. I wasn’t thinking about structure or genre, just following whatever loop made sense in the moment.”
The resulting track is more distorted, fragmented, and minimal. “There’s a lot of blown-out elements in Mr Funk. It’s definitely more of a tool—but it’s also a sketch of where my head was creatively at the time.”
Letting Go of Genre
That shift in mindset—stepping away from genre constraints—has been a defining change in Levska’s recent work. “At some point I just started making things without overthinking where they’d fit. I realised the best tracks I’d finished came from moments where I wasn’t trying to control the outcome.”
This outlook has shaped her upcoming debut LP, IBZALIEN, due June 6th. “It’s the first time I’ve made a full body of work with zero expectations. No rules, just exploring sounds I’m drawn to.”
Ibiza, Reimagined
While the record is inspired by her time living in Ibiza, it’s not a tribute to the island’s glossy image. “It’s not about the beach clubs or the influencer side of it. I’m interested in the weirder spaces—the late-night energy, the winter silence, the locals who are there all year round.”
She describes the record as a kind of counter-narrative. “I wanted to show the other textures of the island—how isolation can be inspiring, how club spaces can feel alien and intimate at the same time.”
Looking Ahead
For Levska, Las Perras is more than just a single—it’s the beginning of a looser, more instinctive chapter. “I’m moving faster now. Less internal feedback loops. If something feels good, I just finish it and move on.”
That speed hasn’t come at the expense of depth. If anything, her music has gained clarity by stripping away the noise around it. “It’s about trusting your taste. That’s something I’ve only recently learned how to do.”
