Blume, emerging from the vibrant tapestry of South America's electronic music scene, has now made Europe her second home. After spending five formative years in Amsterdam, she has chosen Berlin, the pulsating heart of artistic expression, as her latest base.

Establishing her online record store, Format Wars, in 2019, and hosting and curating associated pop-up events, she is a DJ whose deconstructed club-centric sound moves inwards from the peripheries of dance music. With sets that are unlimited and freeform, finding inspiration through the sonic qualities she treasures, Blume embraces a broad dynamic that is as heavy in bass and energetic as it is ghostly, glitchy, and atmospheric.

Adding polyrhythms, broken beats, and jungle influences to a sound that seamlessly transitions between dreamy ambient and experimental jazz, Blume's sets are an adventurous exploration of tempo and texture. A familiar face in clubs like Berghain, Tresor, and OHM in Berlin, as well as at events such as co:clear in Glasgow, ADE in Amsterdam, and the esteemed Positive Education festival in Saint-Étienne, Blume also makes her mark online on NTS, Rinse FM, and Refuge Worldwide. In addition, she hosts a bi-monthly radio show on Noods called The Otherness.

Assuming the role of a fully independent DJ, freelance art director, and record shop proprietor, Blume is first and foremost a student of sound. As Format Wars makes inroads to becoming a physical location in 2024, she is dedicating her studies and research further afield to emerging production technologies, generative tools, and Max for Live devices.

With Blume’s stylistic approach, intrepid sound, and quality aesthetic already allied with an international reputation of labels, radios, and local crews, it’s clear the artist’s creative expression, entrepreneurial instinct, and synergism are poised for the future ahead.
