Sai
In the early 2000s, Sai was a DJ in Berlin’s Jungle of improvised places. For a while, she organized a monthly dub night and invited other DJs to join. At that time, she mixed reggae and UK heavyweight with tracks from the rhythm & sound hemisphere. As a teenager in the 80s, influenced by postpunk, dark wave and EBM, Sai landed in Jamaica a bit by chance first time in 1996 and came in contact with the local sound system culture - immediately and completely fascinated by it for many years. In 2021 - thrown back on herself in lockdown - she began djing again after many years - without a particular goal. Coming back to the R&S tunes from days she discovered more drone driven, dark ambient & atmospheric sounds. This resulted in the platform "Moments of Light 'n Darkness" (MLD) on SC, publishing sets from herself and other DJs. A rhizomatic network began to flourish.
Sai likes to glue together dubby sounds, hypnotic patterns with technoid melancholy. She's the initiator of “MLD goes live”, a Dub&Techno infused festival what will happen near Berlin this August at Havelland, Brandenburg.
