Sally C
Sally C ain’t messing about. The Belfast-born, Berlin-based DJ has stamped herself as one of the most exciting new artists on the scene thanks largely to her inspired selector skills.
With a deep passion for a vintage House that crosses the spectrum of Hip House, Acid and Breakbeat, right up to future-facing Techno and Electro rollers, Sally C has developed a knack for selecting and bringing light to timeless, slept-on classics.
After tirelessly perfecting her craft and developing a fan base, Sally C launched the Big Saldo’s Chunkers imprint in 2020, inspired by the golden era of Hip House and trailblazing Black innovators such as Fast Eddie, Tyree and the late, great K-Hand. Original productions such as ‘Let’s Get This’ and ‘Downtown’ have already established themselves as enduring classics thanks to Sally’s vision that adheres to three crucial principles – a chunky bassline, banging drums and a trippy vocal.
Her recent highlights include her debut on Bradley Zero’s Rhythm Section, a sublime remix of ascendent Nigerian artist Obongjayar's ‘Sugar’ and numerous standout live moments, including her set at Panorama Bar, a debut US tour, Melt Festival, The Warehouse Project supporting The Chemical Brothers, Australia’s iconic Pitch Music & Arts Festival and an epic b2b with Dan Shake and Eliza Rose at the legendary Rex Club in Paris, among many others. Outside of DJing and production, Sally is a resident at Berlin’s vibrant community radio station Refuge Worldwide.
