Festival season has been intense this summer – in the best possible way! We’ve had Primavera Sound, Sonar, Forwards Festival and although we didn’t Whole Festival, it’s on the list for 2023. Another joining that list will most definitely be Amsterdam’s Dekmantel Festival which looked maaaaajor in 2022.
One of the highlights was SHERELLE‘s Boiler Room set which is now available on YouTube. The Londoner’s breakthrough was her 2019 Boiler Room set and every appearance since then has been iconique. Giving you breakbeat, footwork, jazz, Loraine James vibing in the background and a Barbara Tucker vocal for your nerve (and that’s just the first half), we’re loving everything SHERELLE is serving up right now. (EDIT: We’re writing this review as we’re watching, consequently lost our place in the tracklist but that breakdown with the Shai sample was the one!!! So good.)
As well as DJ, she also co-founded label, Hooversound Recordings – shout out to Prayer whose A Love So True we ordered the other day via the label’s Bandcamp!
