YUNGFYA
There are moments in yungfya’s DJ sets akin to taking a sledgehammer to the head.
Her selections and productions are made with six foot sound systems in mind, designed as full-body listening experiences.
Born in London and based in Berlin, yungfya’s journey as a DJ began five years ago, when she exploded onto the underground bass scene thanks to residencies with South London’s Aaja Radio and Berlin’s Femme Bass Mafia. yungfya’s music taste was shaped by the free parties, sound system events and bass nights she frequented in London and Leeds.
That DIY, grassroots, left-field energy runs through everything she touches. Her Aaja residency ‘Murkan Sound’ explored the dank, psychedelic edges of underground music, while her DJ sets combine dub, dubstep, footwork, grime, drum & bass and jungle with broken techno and IDM. Recently, she performed at Berlin Atonal, CTM and Outlook with sets several punters described as unpredictable and refreshing. She’s an expert at steering the crowd in a specific direction, then half-cabbing into a new genre and tempo, no beats skipped – the aural equivalent to teleporting. yungfya prides herself on creativity behind the decks, never sticking to a formula and always pushing her own limits as well as the crowd’s. That extends to her productions, too.
Her debut single “No Tears 4 U” on Raiders combined elements of juke, glitchy half-time and breaks, and it looks like 2027 has her name on it. She has a whole backlog of releases ready to unleash, combining her signature fractured, fiery bass music with a singular sonic identity. When she’s not behind the decks or inside the studio, yungfya’s in the field, immersed in the natural world. She studied science at university in Leeds, and worked at science journal Nature for six years. The diligence and curiosity that comes with research defines her approach to production and digging. She leaves no stone unturned when it comes to crafting introspective yet charged music designed to make your mind boggle and teeth vibrate.
yungfya applies her talent for storytelling across all her disciplines, relentlessly pushing the culture she cares about forward, whether that’s bass music, skateboarding, art or sound design. This autumn/winter you can catch yungfya at Drumsheds in London and Keep Hush in Karachi. If you’re the kind of person who wears a hat, make sure you hold on to it.
