SHA RU
(US)
Sha Ru creations are fueled by perpetual motion, spanning techno, breakbeat, dubstep and drum’n’bass. “We’re always moving from place to place; our music equipment is always in the luggage,” says Masha. In 2019, the NYC-via-Berlin couple wrote Near the Equinoxes EP (Sorry Records), a spacious, dubstep-indebted project, and Zer0 (Kindergarten Records). As the pandemic closed in, they moved to Minsk, followed by Kyiv and Tbilisi. Until then, their creative relationship had existed in short, intense bursts. With time to explore a new workflow, they plunged themselves into dark, psychedelic depths. Three split EPs followed: Bernal Sphere (2020), Polychronia (2020) and Ether (2021).
Immersed in the complex reality of everyday life in these countries, Sha Ru released Feel the Future, Belarus! and White Red White, Keep Up The Fight in aid of pro-democracy organizations. Through rhythmic spoken-word in her native Russian, Masha confronts the horrors of state violence over taut, skittering beats. Match My Sway, their debut for Woozy, fundraised for Ukraine’s Kyiv Angels and Repair Together charities. 2022’s V.O.I.D EP was the band’s first fully English-language project; an opportunity to not only experiment with more club-focused sounds, but also personal feelings of overcoming fear. Alongside VA compilations for Pressure Dome, Infinite Machine and Kindergarten, Sha Ru’s new direction is steeped in intimate experiences and narratives.

RAISSA
Born and raised in Bandung, Raissa Dwi Febriani or better known as Raissa has started to explore the contemporary dance music scene since her move to Bali in 2018. She continued her exploration of percussive sounds and dance rhythms. In 2021 she debuted her EP titled ‘Durma’ via NON ARCHIVE, followed by her contribution to the “ARSIP 001” Compilation and remix version of ‘Durma’ EP.
FLOYD
Floyd is a pseudonym for Tyara Pradini. A neurodivergent, queer mother who enjoys reading and making mixtapes in their past time. They are one of the person behind some of the underground parties happening in Bali around 2017-2019. Learning how to record songs that played on the radio to a cassette from their uncle early on, the habit grew into making mixtapes in CDs, working in a radio, and now starting over as a DJ after taking a sabbatical to focus on being a mother. Floyd’s sets will take you into a groovy journey, highly influenced but not limited to 90s UK club kids, and Asian-African rhythm.
