Through the making of street events that usually take place in abandoned and uninhabited locations, such as student and artist’s squats, the events become self-manageable festivals that represent and push forward the fights for female representativeness and sexual and gender freedom. This group of artistic paths has come in 2013, and it started as a platform for live and organic music to solidify itself as one of São Paulo’s main electronic music parties and also works as a musical project, agency, visual intervention dispositor, label and radio. Cashu has already played with different groups and collectives from other states that occupy, decentralize and hack the Brazilian electronic scene, performing in more that 15 Brazilian cities.

She started the year of 2018 with a trip to Amsterdam, invited by the “De School” club, when she also had a chance to perform at the Red Light Radio. At her home country, she participated in Dekmantel Festival in São Paulo and in the pre-Dekmantel transmission, organized by Resident Advisor, as well as having played for 50 thousand people at SP Beats, one of the country's main carnival electronic street parties.
