Crack Mix 526: Yazzus

"When I first heard electro, I had an epiphany." The Georgian artist and Herrensauna resident talks about the genre she loves most, preparing for sets and remaining authentic to her sound.

SALOME, now one of the scene's foremost purveyors of electro, has shot up in popularity over the last two years. Hailing from Tbilisi, she now lives in Berlin and is a resident of Herrensauna, where she's become a champion of the fast-paced dance music that the group tours worldwide. She's also graced the lineups of festivals like Pitch, Wire, and Dekmantel - where this talk was recorded live - and has released searing electro on labels like Lobster Theremin, Mechatronica, International Chrome, Darknet and more.

In this interview moderated by Souhayla Ou-Oumar, SALOME talks about first falling in love with electronic music after a visit to Kyiv. She says she heard every local artist playing electro and breakbeats instead of techno, and she hasn't turned back since.

The artist plays multiple gigs each weekend, and she talks about the process behind her preparation. She spends hours each week digging for music in multiple genres, creating what she calls "sound maps" for each of the territories she DJs in. This can be tricky, SALOME says, especially when she appears in places like Italy and Spain that expect to hear techno. But no matter where she's booked, she says she makes it a goal to remain true to her sound. Listen to the episode in full.

The Brazilian-born, New York City-based artist has been a fixture of the city’s club scene for over a decade. Known for her ability to control a room—shifting between techno, house, baile & bass, she is also a drummer and has an intuitive understanding of timing and rhythm. Her music selection has landed her gigs in New York’s staple venues like Knockdown Center, Basement, Good Room, Elsewhere, and more, collaborating with prominent promoters such as Pornceptual, Mala Junta, and Mamba Negra. In 2020, Elle took the next step and released her first EP - Underneath - as she launched the Mild Fantasy label—a queer/non-binary techno label from Bushwick, Brooklyn.
