Taking techno in subtly fresh directions.
Sita Shah is a DJ and Creative who’s been making waves in the London scene. She’s a member of the Daytimers and Sisu collectives and resident DJ at Makaan records. Sita demonstrates a different way of navigating the familiar techno zone, going fast and furious with a crate of self-styled “desi techno”. Think four-to-the-floor mixed with M.I.A edits, tricked-out Bollywood songs and bhangra basslines going 100 miles an hour.
She’s part of a new generation of nails-hard practitioners who are taking techno in subtly fresh directions.
If you’ve seen Sita live you’ll know she brings the energy behind the decks. And if you’re new to discovering her sound, check out FOLD Detect sets that bring to life her signature style.
