Perera Elsewhere

@pereraelsewhere

Perera Elsewhere aka Sasha Perera is a London-born, Berlin-based musician, producer, songwriter and DJ. Using everything from gritty, indigenous sounds to her own warped vocals or trumpet, oscillating synths or dread-heavy basses, Perera creates soundscapes to house her songs. The result sees eerie ambient-blues, avant R&B & extra-terrestrial folk that seamlessly co-exist in 'elsewhere'. Perera Elsewhere has released two albums on the Los-Angeles-based FoF music who she signed with in 2013. Her songs have been licensed for TV series or films such as Oscar-winning Director Paolo Sorrentino's 'Loro' in 2018. She has received critical acclaim from media outlets such as the BBC, NPR, Pitchfork, Fader & The Guardian. She has also produced remixes for Gonjasufi on Warp Records, former Malaria-drummer Gudrun Gut, Madame Gandhi, Chino Amobi, PlanningtoRock or Polica .

YOU‘VE LOST _ what started as super psychedelic dub-jam I laid down alone with my macbook mic in my kitchen in 2013, became something i played with my band live on the stage. I eventually recorded them ( Toto Wolf on drums, Oren Gerlitz on the Ebow). I re-editied / dumped / added / changed stuff over the course of 3 years lol. There've been multiple versions of this track. I prolly kept some elements of each.The last thing I added was that wonky bass synth exactly the final bit of dub warfare that i'd been looking for); 🌪 check the tune! LInK IN THe BIO

PURPLE SEA _ feat. @madamegandhi @madamegandhi : “ I had been a fan of producer gemini queen Perera Elsewhere for many years long before she invited me to lay down some vocals on one of her tracks. We worked on this song in my loft in LA one afternoon and she finished it in Berlin “ @perera_elsewhere : “ I went over to Kiran’s loft in LA, laid down a basic #drum #loop and a bass organ melody. I convinced her to step up to the super impressive Manley microphone she had there! It was pretty much a one take session. She killed it with one stab. The rest happened in my studio in Berlin or over headphones (on a train to Hamburg and in an AirBnB in Catalonia . I love to work on the road ) “ Photo by @geneglover x @hugologie .

whole thing out now!!!!

“ DRIVE “ _ what started as one #vocal take over a #bass synth & finger #clicks, slowly became a song heavy in #bass & mid frequency synths , held together by an #808 #sub-kick & a #shaker. I used a #Roland Aira series voice transforma, a vintage #korgpoly6 , #UnaCorda #pianos & #noise pads & perc, my processed #trumpets & vocals takes to add #texture, depth and dynamic. I then recorded my drummer Toto Wolf playing #acoustic #drums as I dig the v special sound of his #cymbals :. ________________ #cooking #newmusic #pereraelsewhere ————— #photo by @geneglover x @hugologie . #kaftan by @starstylingworldwide
