's passionate push to reclaim the days of the rave and reimagine them for the modern dancefloor has made the Londoner one of the most fascinating and celebrated rising stars in recent memory. We're beyond excited to welcome her to The Roof of Superior Ingredients on June 24 for a brilliant open-air celebration of house, breaks, rave, and the first days of a fabulous summer season.

 take the stage as support acts for this edition of BLUE. QRTR, a celebrated DJ and producer, will transport you with her hypnotic live set, bridging the gap between arthouse film composition and electrifying basement rave. RINAS, the queer duo hailing from Orlando, is known for their electrifying performances, traveling through genres and timelines to create an inviting and inclusive dance floor. PURP, the responsibly reckless renaissance woman from Delaware, brings a unique blend of real club music to the NYC underground, leaving an indelible mark with her vibrant DJ sets and curated events. Finally, Toribio, affectionately known as "Papi" in the scene, will sway your soul and move your body with his unique blend of house music infused with Dominican roots and jazz undertones. This event promises to be a feast for your senses and an unmissable gathering of exceptional talent. Don't miss out!

Early in TSHA's rise, the multi-hyphenate producer, DJ, radio host, and mental health advocate was hailed by Mixmag, NME, and DJ Mag as "one to watch." Her 2019 EP 

 was a breath of fresh air that explored moody ambient textures, pop-leaning structures, and a clear focus on maintaining a sophisticated underground approach. Her 2021 debut album 

authentic, emotional, and relatable, and it further confirmed her status as a singular artist with 

 saying, "The UK producer casually throws house, UK garage, R&B, pop, and breakbeats into varied songs that are as emotionally relatable as they are instinctively danceable."

The eyes of the industry have been firmly focused on TSHA over the last few years, with fans and DJs alike singing her praises. A solid member of the lauded Ninja Tune family, she's also released on Diplo's Mad Decent and Higher Ground. In addition, her remixes for Foals, Throwing Snow, Qrion, and Prospa prove her ability to flip even the most timeless music into an absolute treasure. Her most recent release with Aluna, "Killing Me," was named "Hottest Record In The World" by BBC Radio 1's Danny Howard.

Killing Me

Despite calling herself an introvert, her radiant energy shines from her glowing smile and perpetual movement on stage. And dancers across the planet have flocked to her DJ sets as she's risen from perpetual opener to headline status. In the last year alone, she's rocked Coachella's Yuma tent, held residency at Ibiza's famed Circoloco at DC10, and played Glastonbury, Sónar, Parklife, and CRSSD. Her summer 2023 is only growing grander with upcoming appearances at Awakenings, Defected Croatia, and with the Gray Area fam on The Roof of Superior Ingredients in Brooklyn.

We've had our eye on TSHA for some time, and as her star continues to rise, opportunities to catch her in these more intimate environments will only be more rare. So come through and experience one of dance music's most diverse artists beneath the retractable glass roof while the summer sunset paints the sky behind the Manhattan skyline.
