Craic feat. Surusinghe

“Surusinghe, a cross-disciplinary force at the core of contemporary club music, makes her long-awaited Japan debut”

From DJing and production to promotion, label work, and management, Australian-born, London-based Surusinghe has continued to play a multifaceted role at the forefront of club music. Her first-ever performance in Japan is now confirmed.
As a DJ and producer, she moves fluidly between breakbeats, techno, and bass music, constructing a club sound that balances experimentation with raw intensity. International media have described her music as “alien club music” and “a psychedelic nightmare sharpened for warehouse systems.”
Her DJ sets are defined by unpredictable mixes that maintain speed and tension throughout. Heavy, rolling basslines and alarm-like synths generate a charged atmosphere, drawing the dance floor into a collective trance. Her approach has been described as “raw yet precise” and “aggressive yet intelligent.”
As a producer, she has released music on influential labels such as AD 93, Steel City Dance Discs, and TraTraTrax—tracks that strongly engage peak-time energy while resisting easy euphoria, leaving behind a sense of essential tension and space on the dance floor.
She is also the co-founder of the party and platform DRIFTING, through which she introduces cutting-edge underground sounds and producers, working toward rebuilding a music-first community. This commitment is widely regarded as a practical response to the sustainability of club culture.
In 2025, she appeared at some of the world’s most important clubs and festivals, including DGTL (Amsterdam), Nowadays’ legendary Nonstop sessions (New York), GALA (Peckham), Outlook Origins (Croatia), and Dekmantel (The Netherlands). She continues to establish herself as one of the most vital figures in the global club scene.
This special pre-holiday night at Saloon brings Surusinghe together with a carefully curated lineup of local artists—an encounter not to be missed.
