seohbin

Drawing on influences like Dongurizu, FKA twigs and Nooriyah, her sets are designed to leave behind sexy, surreal memories on the dance floor.
3ARSA
3ARSA is a lover of the loud and colourful sounds that spring from Syria, especially dabke and wedding music. They move between punchy, percussive drum loops and hard, heavy techno, drawn to moments of sensory clash between the natural and the rigid. Versatile and fluid, 3ARSA resists binaries and borders, mixing intuitively and beyond boundaries through experimental and deconstructed club sounds. Deeply inspired by friends, community radio, and Eora’s local DIY scene, their sound also pulls from Arabic indie-pop, trip-hop, ambient, punk, hardcore, rap and hip hop.
