Diessa

UK

One of Sheffield’s finest underground talents, the producer and DJ makes excursions into UK club sounds, melding footwork, techno, bass, jungle, and ambient, allowing them to intertwine and grow.

Following a self-titled EP on Hi-NRG in 2020, their most recent release Between Rooms, a 4 track EP on Edited Arts, focuses on the middle ground between dance and chill-out. A kind of venn diagram of Room 1 and Room 2 dance musics, it’s confident head-bop material for those with a preference for BPM underworlds.

Alongside being the co-founder of the Sheffield based queer collective/party Babycakes, Diessa also held down a residency at Hope Works in 2020, where the self-described »junglist passive« promised, »big energy sets with a complete disregard for tradition and to leave the rave gayer than you started.«
