DJ Khromata, all the way from San Francisco, USA. In conversation with Sam Warren, while she was in London for a gig this January, she tells us how she got hooked on the psychedelic trance scene from the age of 13, earning herself the nickname of Goa Princess at school.

Following years of experience playing shows and festivals around the world, her versatile and spirited approach to sound weaving landed her as a label DJ for Iboga Records. Driven by fun, energy and technical purity, she cannot be summarized by any single set or sound, making every Khromata performance an intoxicating, one-of-a-kind experience.

She now runs her Khromata Nights parties in San Francisco,

has headlined shows across North America, and been direct support for legendary artists, playing opening and closing sets for acts such as Astrix, Liquid Soul, Vini Vici, Perfect Stranger, Captain Hook, Ticon, Emok, Atmos, Mad Maxx, Gaspard, Deedrah, and more.

Episode 14 of Sisu Presents: In the Key of She with very special guest B.Traits - Queen of Eclectic Beats, label boss, producer and Radio 1 DJ for 6 years. You'll hear her fabulous story and a fast, furious, filthy mix from her new alias Baby T - we're stuck indoors so there's never been a better time to tune into the radio!!

B.Traits utilizes her influential position to full effect by tackling pressing issues like the need for widely accessible drug safety information, as well as fighting passionately for a rich and progressive club scene in the UK. Her latest project, an event series titled Paciphonic, explores a combination of ambient and minimalist music, sound and frequency activations, and group meditation. She aims to effectively bridge the gap between what she does musically already as a selector, producer, curator, and presenter, and combine it with her knowledge and practice in self-development and life balance. Through Paciphonic, she hopes to build an inclusive community, to collectively enhance and improve our well-being.

A skilled producer, DJ and presenter. You should certainly expect the unexpected where B.Traits is concerned – but if there's something you can predict, it's that whatever comes next will be dedicated and unique.

LP Giobbi (like the Italian... gee-oh-bee) is a "producer-DJ-music director-synth warrior goddess born in Oregon and based in LA". She's also our guest on Episode 13 of Sisu Presents: In the Key of She! 13 is a number traditionally associated with feminine power and energy and OMG that sums LP! This show is one of the most fun and uplifting shows we've produced - bassy, jazzy, piano house and an incredible "tits out" enthusiasm for life (her words, but now mine!!)

When she’s not collaborating or touring with the likes of Sofi Tukker, Jax Jones, Hotel Garuda or Autograf, she’s co-founding burgeoning publishing companies and touring parties (Animal Talk Collective), heading up a thriving non-profit organization to address the lack of representation and equity in electronic music (FEMMEHOUSE), acting as North American Music Director for W Hotels, and running her namesake apparel business (GIOBBI).

In 2019 alone, she performed breakthrough sets at some of the biggest festival stages in the US, including Moogfest, HARD Summer and Coachella—DJMag even named her track “Amber Rose” as one of its 20 massive tracks at this year’s festival. She’s been co-signed by some of music biggest names and brands, providing mixes to Diplo’s Revolution on SiriusXM, collaborating with ROLI and Native Instruments, and partnering with brands like Moog, Guitar Center, and Roland

Tracks played during the interview:

Perfect Fire: Lpgiobbi – Perfect-fire

Amber Rose: Lpgiobbi – Amber-rose

Dejala Pasar Lpgiobbi – Dejala-pasar-feat-within-radio-edit

Ready to Go: Lpgiobbi – Ready-to-go

Jungle Queen: Lpgiobbi – Jungle-queen-feat-tt-the-artist
