Ushka is a Sri Lankan-born, Brooklyn-based deejay traversing genres across electronic club & bass music. She deejays from the perspective of a dancer, blending a wide range of global club music. She has performed across the U.S, Mexico, and Canada - including at institutions such as Brooklyn Museum, Lincoln Center, MoMA PS1, American Museum of Natural History, Rubin Museum, The Shed, Toronto's Harbourfront Centre, and Montreal's Fondation Phi. Ushka has been a staple in NYC's queer nightlife, having run the @ibombanyc party for six years and djing parties such as @papi-juice, Gush, Ragga, Bubble-T, No Nazar, Laylit, Moonshine and more. In 2018-2019, she was the artist-in-resident at the A/P/A Institute at NYU and she produced an audiovisual film about migration and an experimental DJ performance as part of The Shed's Open Call.  When she isn't crafting dancefloor spaces, Ushka is an immigrant rights and climate justice advocate. You can follow her on twitter or instagram at @ty_ushka. Bookings: ushkadj@gmail.com
