Sister System

Sister System has forged a musical galaxy around her in a short span of time. Since entering the scene in 2018, the Miami-based DJ and event producer has helped reshape the city’s underground electronic landscape with her keen ear for selections and eye for curation.

Sister System’s sound defies easy categorization. Like the best selectors, she juxtaposes deep cuts and familiar tracks in such a way that the cumulative effect becomes entirely her own. It’s dark, tough music for well-tuned ears: Long, hypnotic stretches of downtempo numbers might suddenly be punctured by a burst of breakbeats or funky 303s; techno hi-hats will find negative space to occupy among aquatic synth lines, dislocated drums, whispered vocal samples, and even the occasional electro. Her ability to navigate both nostalgic sounds and the outer limits of experimentation is what commands listeners’ attention.

In addition to carving out her own name as a DJ, she’s spent the last few years organizing off-the-grid raves that have united Miami’s disparate electronic factions and embolden the city’s underground scene. She’s now playing alongside respected artists as a resident at Club Space, and having established Objects Don’t Dance is just one of many evolving projects she maintains to extend Miami’s exposure to a diversity of dance music, while illuminating the vibrant array of talent the city has to offer.
