The doom-folk adventurer delivers a bounty for the dancefloor.
Sasha Perera, aka Perera Elsewhere, is a polyglot, if there ever were one. Her 2017 album All of This darkly blends trip-hop, R&B and pop with a rogue attitude toward a lot of the bullshit happening in this moment of our time. (The album’s title track is a slick snub of the grim corporatizing of identity that haunts URL and IRL.)
But her music proclivities are not resigned only to the elements that make up her doom-folk output or the work she did as a member of Berlin-based globalist dance music group Jahcoozi. Perera also DJs and when she does, it’s all about bass music.
For her FACT mix, Perera delivered two hours of burners, including tracks from Jlin, Equiknoxx, Fractal Fantasy, Errorsmith, Suzi Analogue, RP Boo, Murlo and much more, a veritable banquet of some of the music dance music happening at this moment. Perera says this is what she wants to dance to when she DJs but that there are some deeper messages at the end, when she takes down the energy.
