Growing up in Tokyo, riria looked to the UK for inspiration. Now based in London, she’s gained a reputation as one of the hottest selectors around.

Her sets hark back to the early 2010s UK - the post-dubstep period - where dance music seemed to disintegrate and reassemble itself week after week. A flawless mixer, she loves bass-heavy rhythms - everything from gqom and amapiano to dubstep and dancehall  - as well as hyped-up club cuts - think Jersey club, garage, bassline and UK funky. Matching her killer technique with infectious natural energy, she’s the perfect DJ to get a party started - or keep it going deep into the night.

Always unpredictable and never unreliable, she seems to get better with every set. Take it from us: you’ll want to be able to say you were there for her Sónar debut.
