DASCO's energy is infectious. Just watch a clip of her behind the decks or catch her in action IRL and you'll find it impossible to disagree.

It's always a joy to see an artist vibing out and DASCO has been spreading this positive spirit wherever she goes, from her current home of Berlin to her native Tel Aviv and across the world in places like Sydney, Tokyo and Johannesburg.

The sense of freedom and connection she evokes on the dance floor translates to her mission to level the playing field for women, non-binary and LGBTQIA+ artists with the music industry. Earlier this year she launched Bisexuality Exists, a record label that works on the fact that "music - like life - is rarely ever black or white", and that there are "so many beautiful colours and shades in-between". The inaugural release, Get High With Me, came from DASCO herself, and is the perfect introduction to the uplifting club sounds that will form the label's musical ethos.
 
Just like her DJ sets and her previous releases for Local Talk, Housewax and upcoming outing for Shall Not Fade, the release blends DASCO's core influences; there's nods to 90s rave and acid house but through a fresh, contemporary lens.

Ahead of her set at Polifonic this weekend in Puglia, she treats us to a high energy pre-party mix of hands-in-the-air house, acid and techno, and gives us some free DASCO tips for a happy and healthy life...
