The half-human, half-horse star has bounced back from the brink with a grass-themed album that\u2019s \u2018a love letter to Mother Earth\u2019. Is it true she was discovered by Whitney Horseton?<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m trilingual because I speak English and German \u2013 but also neigh. We could have done the interview in horsey.\u201d Welcome to the world of DJ and pop provocateur horsegiirL, AKA Stella Stallion, the Berlin-based half-human, half-horse, whose potent mix of Eurodance, 90s techno, happy hardcore and gabba has polarised the dance music community. On one side of the paddock are her loyal fans, or \u201cfarmies\u201d, who fully accept the horsegiirL lore \u2013 that she was born and raised in the idyllic Sunshine farms, surrounded by animal friends, and later discovered by local legend Whitney Horseton. Lurking on the other side, near the manure, are the dance bros who derided Stallion\u2019s meteoric rise in 2022 \u2013 aided by viral sets at H\u00d6R Berlin and Boiler Room \u2013 as a cheap gimmick that highlighted how far dance music had strayed from its roots.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t remember his name,\u201d laughs Stallion, 26, \u201cbut some legendary DJ from, like, 1902, said, \u2018This is the face of commercialisation.\u2019\u201d She\u2019s speaking from Brazil, where she is currently shooting a video for That\u2019s My Beach, a sunkissed pop gem taken from her forthcoming climate crisis-focused debut album, Nature Is Healing. \u201cI had to laugh because at that point I was mainly playing small underground queer and trans raves. It just showed what they were actually protecting, which was a very different space to where I see myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
