Sayang is a Malaysian/British sound artist and DJ exploring electronic vs environmental audio approaches to communal connection, rest, [dis]comfort and identity across club, gallery and alternative environments. They use modular synthesis to manipulate field/live audio in production, live performances and immersive installations. Their layered DJ sets take the form of 3-4 deck mixing, bending boundaries of genre and rhythm while toying with sexuality, trends and ego. Credits include DJ sets at Bussy Temple [SG], Draaimolen [NL], UNFOLD [UK] and releases with Nehza records. Exhibitions/installations include Queer East’s shedding:::selves [UK], Humber Street Gallery [UK], and Treasure Hill Artist Village [TW].
Kom Kom is a British-Khmer DJ based in Sheffield, UK. She is a resident DJ for Rebel Soul at Shambala Festival and likes percussive bassy music from everywhere. She runs the club night DiaspoRiddim with Disorientalist, which is dedicated to promoting the music that is created when borders are crossed and cultures are carried, blended and reborn in sound. Her recent project East Beat explores music from East & South East Asia and the diaspora, as heard in guest shows for Hong Kong Community Radio and Hanoi Community Radio. Kom also dabbles in sound collage and has exhibited alongside artist Dayanny So and photographer Charles Fox at the Holocaust Centre North (Huddersfield), Pink Gallery (Stockport), and Migration Matters Festival (Sheffield).
