about

The Cult welcomes Apsara to the fold.

From Tokyo to San Francisco and now to Jakarta, her multi-genre DJ sets have seen her develop a loyal following across the globe. Whether it is an underground rave in the San Francisco Bay Area, mega clubs like Stadium Jakarta, or the grand stage of Tomorrowland, her distinctive style seamlessly blends techno, tech house, progressive house, trance, disco and house music.

This artist with Japanese ancestry, a former California raver, effortlessly controls the dance floor from the booth, and her abilities have brought her to her present residency in Jakarta. Her ability to produce music has also led to releases on other labels, including Monaberry, Truesounds, Zerothree, and others.

Her non-conformist approach to genre is reflected in her first EP for Rhythm Cult which fuses house, techno and contemporary melodic influences. First out of the gate is the low subby groove of ‘Arcalod’, a powerful minimal excursion that pushes along on an ever-rising drone punctuated by deliriously glitchy vocals. Fierce and angular techno influences combine with organic elements showcasing Apsara’s unique cross-genre style. ‘Silent Parade’ is up next taking us to the dark depths of the club with its robust throbbing rhythms. A serious heads-down groove aimed at the dancefloor. Finally, ‘The Light’ wraps fidgety micro-percussion and innovative sound design around a hushed spoken word vocal. The track is a real sonic trip imprinted with three-dimensional foley atmospherics and completes a mind-altering package of hallucinatory futuristic house music.

Overall, Apsara's debut is really impressive and will appeal to DJs seeking both dance-floor punch and auditory inventiveness.

In addition, to accompany her release, DJ Apsara has provided us with a special DJ mix for our Cultcast series, which you can listen to on our Mixcloud account.
