Sassy J

Sassy J is a dj, sonic journey curator and handcrafting artist.

Hailing from the de facto beautiful Swiss capital of Bern, Sassy J has
a colouful and charming sound informed by her simple and honest
love of music. She runs her own Patchwork night, does
the art for each party and has a passion for sewing one off pieces of
clothing that marry many different textures and styles in compelling
ways, much like when she mixes records.
Sassy J has been passionately doing her do for over 20 years now.
In that time she has kept a focus on forward thinking electronic and analog
sounds, has been a consistently exciting DJ and has earned a
reputation amongst esteemed artists and fans that appreciate her
unhurried style. Driven by a feel for the occasion, a passion to
present new sounds and desire to leave a mark on her audience,
Sassy J has played everywhere from Rainbow Disco Club and Dekmantel to
Panorama Bar and De School.
Always digging for inspiration and for those moments in life that make
you go ‘wow,’ Sassy’s hunt takes her into the worlds of tribal art,
fabrics, books and more. She has found favour with The Trilogy
Tapes, Resident Advisor and Crack Magazine, all of whom she has
done official mixes for. A tactile and heartfelt selector, a quest to
really take her listeners somewhere defines what she does. Sassy J
likes to let her music breath and marinate, to take her time and let the
moods and grooves she offers up really sink in. Always shifting
through sounds with real dynamism, it’s all these things that make her
a standout voice in the DJ world.
In 2019 she curated her debut compilation for Rush Hour Records titled Patchwork.
On the 23rd of November 2023 she released a Cassette Tape called A Sanctuary. Its the first release on her own Label Patchwork featuring all exclusive music by Carlos Niño & Friends, K15, Legowelt, Julion De’Angelo, Kaidi Tatham,
2000Black and many more.
