Ma Sha is a New York-based producer, DJ, and label head whose electrifying take on experimental club music has become a vital force in the global underground. Since co-founding the event series Kindergarten in 2017, she has cultivated a distinct sonic universe that bridges raw rhythm with dancefloor dynamism. Rooted in the transatlantic techno continuum, her sound channels high-voltage energy through warped percussive forms and bass-heavy textures. Drawing from her experience as one half of the duo Sha Ru and her upbringing within a vibrant DIY scene, Ma Sha’s work reflects a deep commitment to sonic exploration and community building. As the founder of Kindergarten Records, she curates forward-facing club releases that blur genre lines and invite kinetic engagement. Her productions, featured on labels like Steel City Dance Discs, Nervous Horizon, and TraTraTrax, are known for their ricocheting rhythms and metallic impact.
