Malissa – @maliss_a
“Malissa is the founder of Sisu, a community providing a platform to educate, inspire and showcase aspiring female and non-binary DJs and producers. Since May 2017 when the Liverpool-born selector played her first DJ set, she has played on line-ups across Europe – whether it be alongside Plaid and Kelly Lee Owens in Southbank’s Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, in Germany at Nation of Gondwana festival alongside the likes of Anetha and Freddy K, or warming up at Berlin’s Paloma Bar with Dusk/Blackdown. Flying through 2022, sharing stages with the likes of Mafalda, Dan Shake, Skream, CCL and Jerome Hill. With a mix showcased on RA as mix of the Day in April you can wrap your ears around some of her recent audial explorations. Previous editorial/radio coverage of Malissa can be found on the likes of Mantissa and Rinse France.”
Nadiya – @nadiya_g__
“Born in Ukraine and raised in London, Nadiya’s musical upbringing is as diverse as her background. As a resident DJ with Sisu Crew collective since 2019, Nadiya has been carving out her own unique sound, drawing from a vast array of influences spanning genres and continents. Her sets are a testament to her eclectic taste and superb track selection, blending the old and the new, the familiar and the obscure, in a seamless and hypnotic mix. Nadiya’s infectious energy behind the decks has earned her a spot on NTS, Ola, Melodic Distraction, and Threads radio stations, as well as numerous festivals and venues across the country. Nadiya brings familiar yet fresh energy to the dance floor, her sets are not to be missed.”
Chickie – @evafruit
“London-based Chickie is a DJ and writer with an infatuation for the rebellious core of electronic music. Sitting proudly on the Sisu roster, and as co-founder of techno platform Bleached Club, her style peppers early Detroit sounds with spooky vocals and rogue melodies inspired by Senegalese parties. With regular appearances on Loose FM and Komrad radio, Chickie has brought the addictive rhythms of transnational nightlife from Berlin to Bristol.”
