Today on Feed the DJ, I’m talking with Saphyre—an electronic producer and rising DJ whose sound blends U.K. dance, U.S. house, and the nostalgic warmth of 80s/90s reggae + dancehall. Her music channels the energy of warehouse rave culture while still feeling fresh, modern, and emotionally driven.
We discuss what inspired her unique sound palette, her transition from producer to DJ, and how her creative process shifts when she’s behind the decks. We also get into a bigger conversation: the lack of a true local electronic scene, what community is missing, and how we can build more spaces that nurture electronic artists right here at home.
We talk about crossover potential with hip-hop, challenges of finding the right shows, and the importance of making space for artists who don’t fit into one single box.
PLUS — stay till the end to hear her brand new single “Red Flag Rhythm.”
A real convo on artistry, genre, identity—and what it will take to build a stronger electronic community from the ground up.
