Sassy J has been passionately doing her do for over 20 years now. In that time she has kept a focus on forward thinking electronic and analog sounds, has been a consistently exciting DJ and has earned a reputation amongst esteemed artists and fans that appreciate her style. Driven by a feel for the occasion, a passion to present new sounds and desire to leave a mark on her audience, Sassy J has played everywhere from Rainbow Disco Club and Dekmantel to Panorama Bar and De School.
She runs her own Patchwork night since 2005, does the art for each party and has a passion for sewing one off artwork and clothing that marry many different textures and styles in compelling ways, much like when she mixes records.
Always digging for inspiration and for those moments in life that make you go ‘wow,’ Sassy’s hunt takes her into the worlds of folkart, fabrics, books and more. She has found favor with The Trilogy Tapes, Resident Advisor and Crack Magazine, all of whom she has done official mixes for. A tactile and heartfelt selector, a quest to really take her listeners somewhere defines what she does. Sassy J likes to let her music breath and marinate, to take her time and let the moods and grooves she offers up really sink in. Always shifting through sounds with real dynamism, it’s all these things that make her a standout voice in the DJ world.
In 2019 she curated her debut compilation titled Patchwork for Rush Hour Records. On the 23rd of November 2023 she released a Cassette Tape called A Sanctuary. Its the first release on her own Label Patchwork featuring all exclusive music by Carlos Niño & Friends, K15, Legowelt, Molinaro, Julion De’Angelo, Kaidi Tatham, 2000Black and many more.
