SAPPHIRE SLOWSYU SUCNJ.LINDROOS

While her own music could be described as Casio techno/ghostly ambient/weird pop music, her DJing is more straightforward, though only slightly. Her track selections ten to be quirky and heady, laced with eerie melodies and intricate rhythms. One might detect a krautyness to the whole thingy. There’s a sense of subtle inertia and conflicted delight; sustained yet rarely released.

A few years ago Yu Su moved from China to Vancouver for her studies and eventually stumbled upon the (in)famous Mood Hut parties. You might hear the influence of those hazy nights in her own productions and DJ sets: warm, percussive, a bit jazzy and a bit wonky but always inviting; soul music from the 21st century ツ By now she has put out a couple of strong releases; one on Arcane and the other on Washington DC favourite, People’s Potential Unlimited.
