Chinnamasta

Chinnamasta is an Amsterdam based Caribbean DJ and sonic / cultural researcher, with DJing being an extension of her practice, research and presentation.  She is mostly interested in the cross pollination of sonic landscapes and cultures between peoples. Her sets are layered, eclectic, energetic and flavourful. Linking to histories, presents and futures through rhythms, archives, samples, vocals and bass from across the Afro Diaspora; traveling the sonic journey of the Atlantic, Indian and Caribbean. She is particularly interested in the murky, dutty streets of the global black underground and aims to showcase her beauty as is: Raw, unfiltered, uncut and unsterilised. Chinnamasta, meaning the goddess of Death, Rebirth and contradictions,  is on the quest to recover and uncover the significant impact and influence of Caribbean music worldwide, and the cross pollination of cultures within the post-colonial Afro Diasporic sonic global culture.
