Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Repping the queer underground of São Paolo, Mamba Negra’s Cashu spins everything from bone-rattling breakcore and gabber to downtempo electro, melodic house and mutant techno to booty-shaking baile funk and percussive freneticism. Saskia’s subaqueous bass keeps the dancefloor eclecticism alive alongside resident baile futurist Gus."

A clubnight held at Strange Brew on Friday 4th July. The event starts at 22:30.
Baile do Futuro welcomes Mamba Negra's Cashu for a night of dark and weird grooves in true back-room fashion.
- Carolina Schutzer aka Cashu is one of the key figures of São Paulo’s queer underground electronic music scene, where her work constantly communicates urgent political issues. In an attempt to occupy and decentralize the São Paulo scene, Cashu and Carneosso created the Mamba Negra collective, an independent brand which provides a platform for diversified artists. Their street events that usually take place in abandoned and uninhabited locations, such as student and artist squats, push forward the fight for female representation and sexual and gender freedom.
The collective was formed in 2013 as a platform for live and organic music and has since solidified into one of São Paulo’s main electronic music parties and expanded to become a Label, Agency and Radio station.
- A sound artist from Kanagawa, Japan, Saskia deeply connects space and emotion through music. Since releasing her debut EP on Detroit Underground in 2017, she has been active in live performances, installation art, and DJing. After moving to Bristol in 2022 to deepen her exploration of sound, she returned to Japan in 2024. Her latest LP, es, released the same year, is an experimental collection blending ambient and techno. Rooted in the concept of “Sound to _____ this magnificent cell,” her sonic works constantly invite listeners on new journeys.
- Local baile futurist Gus completes the bill with his trademark raw, energetic, weird blends to send this one home.
As always, dress to sweat.
