Celebrating the NYC release of "Fire Femme" and its remixes at Refuge, Brooklyn’s newest dance club.

Berlin label DESSERT celebrates its NYC release of track Fire Femme with two remixes at Brooklyn’s newest dance club Refuge for Battle Hymn.

DESSERT originally dropped “Fire Femme” this summer, a raw, sweat-slicked darkroom anthem from Le Grand Phoenix featuring the commanding voice of NYC nightlife legend Madame007. The track quickly became the beat to scream and shout, soundtracking late nights at the bar, early mornings at the rave, and echoes through strobe-lit darkrooms.

DESSERT soon handed the reins to label founder Tom Peters and Brooklyn-based producer Michael Cignarale for two remixes reimagined for global dance floors, pushing the record into peak-time territory.

The night features a live performance by Madame007, with DJ sets by Tom Peters, Dane Deveraux, and Eli Escobar.

DESSERT drops “Fire Femme,” a raw, sweat-slicked darkroom anthem from Le Grand Phoenix featuring the voice of NYC nightlife legend Madame007, one of the most dominant personalities in the underground club circuit and ballroom scene.

Built from the DNA of the floor, “Fire Femme” pulls directly from Madame007’s repertoire as a live MC. Witty catchphrases, category-ready chants, and cinematic references are woven throughout the record, packing it with lyrical Easter eggs for those who know and can catch them. Their vocal cuts through the mix with punk-rock grit and unfiltered ballroom reads delivered bar for bar without restraint.

Le Grand Phoenix constructs a tight, percussive framework driven by tension and release. “Cause if I happen to let you slide!”

“Fire Femme” is the beat to scream and shout, made for late nights at the bar, early mornings at the rave, and echoed through darkrooms under strobes, lights, and smoke on the stage. “So now you gotta GRAB HA!”

“Fire Femme” (Tom Peters BERLINCIAGAY Bananarama Mix) sees DESSERT label founder Tom Peters deliver a tech-house gem reimagined for peak-time dancefloors. The remix is bold and charged with rubbery basslines and a hypnotic groove, preserving the spirit of Madame007’s lyrical wit from the original while injecting it with club-ready click and bounce precision.

This version pays tribute to early 2000s NYC dance music. Think driving over the Verrazano Bridge onto the West Side Highway on a Saturday night with Radio 103.5 KTU blasting, headed straight for Pacha as the city lights flicker in the horizon.

“Fire Femme” (Michael Cignarale Mix) sees DESSERT hand the reins to Brooklyn-based producer Michael Cignarale, who delivers a remix that serves precision, power, and pure KAWNTTT!

Cignarale strips the track down to its essence and rebuilds it with deep house energy rooted in the Detroit and Chicago tradition. Rolling basslines, hypnotic keys, and percussion that snaps with purpose drive the momentum forward. Madame007’s voice snaps through the mix wielded as its own instrument.

This remix captures the pulse of New York City while channeling house music’s original spirit, a sound that is both underground and universal.

Already in heavy rotation in the Brooklyn bar scene and by creators on social media, solidifying that “Fire Femme” is the track to scream and shout! “Are You Hiding From Me? YES!”

Whether on the mic live with Byrell The Great, JADALAREIGN, W Jeremy, River Moon, or The Carry Nation, commanding the room at Some Nice Things, OTA, or The Stimulation Ball series, hyping the crowd at Paragon, Escuelita, Battle Hymn, Dick Appoint-ment, or MEATfest, you have heard this dominating voice at work. “Lemme hear you say breathe.”

Madame007 is a dynamic product of the ballroom scene, Club Kid culture, musical theatre, and every gritty and sparkly corner of New York City nightlife.

Their vocal DNA pulls from a lineage of legendary club voices like Anthony Lamont, Franklin Fuentes, Harmonica Sunbeam, and Paul Alexander, blended with the sharp authority of ballroom commentators like Kenny Felder Ebony, Jack Mizrahi, Neiman Marcus Escada, and Selvin McDebra. Add the theatrical bravado of Ted Ross as the Cowardly Lion in The Wiz and the iconic flamboyant cadence of Pat Carroll’s Ursula, and you begin to understand the full spectrum of the Madame007 voice.
