Xades has just unveiled her highly anticipated Shaded EP!
Xades (pronounced “shades”) is the newest creation of the DJ and curator known mostly as MSJY. While MSJY’s DJ sets are known for their heavy bass, bouncy rhythms and darkness, Xades is an ode to the sweet Latina soul hidden underneath the tiny powerhouse behind the booth. While it is certainly new to hear the voice behind the sound, MSJY has been sharing her music around the world for more than eight years.
“Xades (pronounced shades)”
By using music as a portal to connect with people and interact with her surroundings, she enjoys exploring its various soundscapes with a sharp mind, sensitive ear and dedicated heart.
The Dekmantel-affiliated selector, and former resident at Amsterdam’s De School, Groningen’s OOST and Berlin’s Griessmuehle, is known for thoughtful, playful sets that dig into bass and breaks, adding dashes of her past influences: trip-hop and IDM.
As Xades, Jenny explores her voice and songwriting, extending her tentacles into different genres. The result is a vulnerable exploration that transitions smoothly through dub, downtempo electronica and contemporary R&B.
Her multiple musical and cultural roots – Brazilian mother, Argentinian father and Swiss passport – seep through the versatile layers of her sound.
Love to listen :)
Big love, HG xx
