"We're thrilled to unveil Ixa's electrifying track "Wanna Be (Broken Doll)" from the highly anticipated Eternal Volume 1 compilation by Exude Record s, set for release on November 21st. This Berlin-Philadelphia artist masterfully intertwines themes of grief and strife with infectious exuberance on this irreverent electro hit. Through her lyrics-touching on topics from loss and surgeries to sugar daddies and self-acceptance-Ixa delivers a powerful message over a disarmingly catchy beat that's impossible not to dance to."
"This compilation marks the first instalment in a series of sonic love letters dedicated to the trans community, offering a panoramic view of their experiences. It employs unique lingo, highlights challenges, and captures moments of joy, making a bold statement to assert that trans people exist beyond historical narratives-their message is clear: "We have always been here and will never be erased.""
"Eternal is raw and unapologetically queer, showcasing the trans experience through an unfiltered lens as it presents itself to the world. There's no handholding for outsiders-it's an intimate peek into a sanctuary crafted by a community that knows its worth. As fascism looms worldwide, threatening to erase trans identities, the existence of trans individuals becomes an act of resistance. This existence transcends mere visibility and representation; it's about access to gender-affirming healthcare,"
Ixa's 'Wanna Be (Broken Doll)' pairs irreverent electro with themes of grief, surgeries, loss, sugar daddies, and self-acceptance, creating a catchy yet powerful statement. The track appears on Eternal Volume 1, a global compilation of trans* producers releasing November 21st, 2025, one day after Trans Day of Remembrance. Proceeds will support Casa T Lisboa, the contributing artists, and Exude Records. Eternal Volume 1 is presented as the first in a series of sonic love letters that foreground trans joy and struggle, assert trans presence, and link cultural expression to access to gender-affirming healthcare.
