    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Ma Sha is a New York-based producer and DJ who has been active in the scene since 2017 when she co-founded event series - now a NYC staple - Kindergarten. Since then, she established a radio show which alongside the local Kindergarten crew, holds a monthly residency on The Lot Radio, as well as a record label that has won “Best Breakthrough Label” at the 2022 DJ Mag North America Awards. Focusing on cosmic club workouts with wigged-out rhythmic structures, the label “has become an essential outpost for hard-to-define, easy-to-dance-to club music in just two short years” [DJ Mag]; presenting “twisty, rowdy and unpredictable club music rooted in techno from both sides of the Atlantic” [Resident Advisor]. Apart from running Kindergarten Records, Ma Sha is currently focusing on her solo productions to present her take on experimental high-voltage dance music with a debut release coming out soon. However, Ma Sha is not a novice within the realm of production; as she has been active as half of the band Sha Ru who have been on the radar since their debut EP on Sorry Records in 2019, followed by releases on Infinite Machine, Pressure Dome, Progressive Future, Shubzin, Inveterate and of course, Kindergarten Records. Besides running the label, producing and performing domestically and internationally, Ma Sha is also a co-founder of Hone.Social, a free DJing workshop initiative providing a place to learn and practice within a casual and supportive environment.
    Their RA profile lists Rhythm Section International, Nervous Horizon, Steel City Dance Discs and Kindergarten Records.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Drawing from a wide range of influences across space, time, and medium, her sets unfold as collages that embrace and sublate the contradiction of It All. A resident DJ at Brooklyn’s DIY warehouse party Tossd and one half of Bossa Nova Civic Club’s DAYTONA 500 alongside Eva Loveless, she is firmly rooted in New York—but remains in active dialogue with the American underground, moving fluidly between scenes across the country.
    Their RA profile lists Framework NY.
