Driven by a post-genre sensibility, his shapeshifting musical output bends tension, texture and groove through leftfield optics, playfully weaving his Latin heritage with elements of soundsystem culture into abstract, whimsical and kaleidoscopic club music. Holding a frequent presence on underground airwaves, he has racked up appearances on Shella Radio, Radio Tempo Não Pára, Radio Radio FM, East Side Radio, Clyde Built Radio and Radio Buena Vida. On home turf, he hosts Uneven Oscillation at Refuge Worldwide, a show that knits together the narrative threads of Música Popular Brasileira from the 70s to the present, tracing tonal and sentimental parallels with adjacent sounds spanning post-bop jazz, progressive folk rock and experimental electronic music. As an independent promoter, he curates events where community takes center stage, showcasing emerging local talents alongside established names of the underground such as Appleblim, Dangermami, Chediak, DJ Plead and ophélie. Now part of VINTENOVE BAILES, acting as a resident DJ and booker, courtroom drama reaffirms a commitment to amplifying diasporic narratives in underground electronic music. 2026 marks the release year of Liquid Absence: an off-kilter, tactile yet mischievous 4-track split EP with Frankfurt-based neeyuu.Recently at Panke, Renate · often with Cmba, State OFFF, Leba, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
sass is a Brazilian artist based in Berlin who uses art to navigate the cultural intersections that shape one's identity. This exploration manifests through layers, textures, percussion, and inconsistencies in her sound, as well as in admiration for the ways others express themselves and interact with one another through rhythm. Her influences draw from her Brazilian roots and the strange feeling of the unknown or underexplored. She translates this by uncovering underground, underrepresented, left-field music combined with soothing vocals and pop melodies. Through low-end frequencies, bass music, and unusual arrangements, she celebrates the musical heritage of ambivalent roots: what one can be, or not. sass' connection with art is a non-verbal language to communicate a search for identity, allowing these elements to speak on their own behalf.often with State OFFF, Tekhole, Leba, none of them here that night
