Safiye has been quietly doing the work.

And we mean that in every sense. Anyone who's crossed paths with her at Love International - or anywhere else, for that matter - will know there's a version of Safiye most people never fully clock. The one making sure everything runs smoothly, checking in on people, holding the energy of a room without ever needing to shout about it. Calm, kind, and completely unflappable in the way that only someone truly on top of things can afford to be.

Years spent on dancefloors across the globe and through a bi-weekly show on SWU.FM have sharpened her instinct for the room, one that's taken her from Bristol's underground to the fields of Glastonbury and to the aforementioned Love International - last few tix left for that those at the back. Since 2024, she has been part of Bristol's disco powerhouse Paradisco, a permanent fixture on dancefloors in the city and beyond.

As she puts it herself, it's not just showing up to a gig and pressing play - the coordination, the planning, the endless behind-the-scenes effort that nobody really sees. That's the work. And she does it with the same ease she brings to everything else.

The through line in all of it is a sound that's slippery by design. House, electro, disco and acid all chosen carefully, sequenced with intention.

Let’s have a chat and get it on, shall we?
