upsammy (DJ set)

(The Netherlands) 
With a body of work where the benign building blocks of what might - positively - be called IDM are reconfigured into living organisms, upsammy brings a similar sonic landscape to her DJ sets, where rhythmic and melodic instability becomes the engine for both psychedelia and dance. In her productions, the Amsterdam-based producer and DJ approaches shifting rhythmic patterns and radiant melodies with the meticulousness of sound art. But when she steps onto the dancefloor, upsammy crafts an adventurous narrative equally built on friction and calculated risk - pulsing at its core with the celebratory fervor of dance, channeled through its most leftfield edges, from techno to drum & bass, and into realms for which no taxonomy yet exists.
