Yu Su

Composer, DJ and sound artist Yu Su is Vancouver-based but China-born, and she makes music that travels just as far. It is rooted on the dance floor, but its influences span a wide array of emotions, styles and scenes. From jazz to ambient to organic synthesis, wistful texture to her own multi-instrumental skills, she brings a new style of composition to her work, best exemplified on her adventurous 2021 album Yellow River Blue, which picked up plenty of critical acclaim. Her mixes bring her signature blend of dub, downtempo, house and trippy leftfield electronics, living and breathing selections packed with cultural references, interesting rhythms and carnival atmospheres, with music from the likes of Pearson Sound, Jimmy Edgar, Midland and Carl Craig, perfect for dancing outdoors in the sun.
