Discover the incomprehensible sounds hidden in the shadows of Cape Town, South Africa, with Aryu Jassika. A self-taught DJ and producer who believes that we can all create, produce, mix, and master music in all its forms. His sound is like nothing you will ever experience again; defined as the approximations of brooding Gqom and Techno strung through a continuum of intergenerational trauma. After years of cutting his teeth in the dance music scene, Aryu co-founded SWAK and began hosting and throwing parties from London to Berlin, with stacked lineups involving an assortment of artists hailing from all genres and corners of the globe. SWAK has always been a platform to showcase artists that truly represent the depth of the creative community while simultaneously providing a space for new and rising talent.
Aryu Jassika achieves musical depth by offering and nurturing spaces where everything can co-exist in electro while breaking down South African sounds and rebuilding them into music that has listeners asking, “What planet is this from?”
