Hold Tite

Japanese fashion designer. Sometimes doing fine art, playing with music, and taking photographs...etc. I am interested in just atmosphere, beat and melody about music. I don't really care about the words, excuse me!

Multi-award winning experimental pop auteur, Sasha Perera aka Perera Elsewhere is a producer, musician, songwriter and DJ who has garnered critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, BBC, FADER, Vogue, KCRW and many more. Her use of technology to create and to experiment with her voice, lyrics, trumpet, percussive beats, bass frequencies, sound design and existential ideas all led to what fans and press initially coined the ‘Doom-Folk’ sound of the Perera Elsewhere project. She found a home on Los Angeles based label Friends of Friends where she has released 3 albums that have seen her sonic imprint graciously evolve. Her music evokes a hybrid of comparisons such as Mica Levi, Dean Blunt, Jon Hassell and Massive Attack.
Journeys have punctuated Perera Elsewhere’s life perspective and career, taking her from London’s vibrant club scene to Berlin’s bass experimentalist underground. All of which developed her shapeshifting approach to music. Elsewhere, but always rooted. No matter where Perera has found herself musically–from live shows & DJ sets at institutions such as Berghain, the Guggenheim, the Hamburg Philharmonic, Sonar Festival and Boiler Room.
Her music has been licensed for Ava Du Vernay’s ‘Queen Sugar’ series, by Oscar winning director Paolo Sorrentino for his ‘Loro’ film and recently by Apple for the promotional launch of their faster than ever M2 chip.
A true multi-hyphenate, Perera’s open and autodidact technique is also highlighted by a long list of side releases, collaborations as well as bespoke compositions for moving image, theatre and audio-visual installations for leading global institutions such as Bass Museum Miami (2022 and ZKM in Karlsruhe (2024). She produced 4 songs for German icon Nina Hagen’s recent album (2023).
Perera Elsewhere won ‘Best Act ’at the VIA awards 2022, the only independent award for musical innovation in Germany. She also won Sony Music Germany’s ‘Female Producer Award’ in 2024.
Perera’s published works have led to invitations by renowned institutions such as Ableton, Native Instruments, Yale or Berlin’s University of Arts and the award- winning Errrormusic programme to share her creative knowledge via studio sessions, workshops, teaching, and mentoring.   Sasha has also worked with the British Council and Goethe Institute as an artist and co-curator or mentor on music projects and music-tech education initiatives across Asia and Africa .  She recently composed the sound for a Kampnagel dance/ theatre production titled' Reparation Nation.'  Perera Elsewhere is clearly at home in many places.
