Shannen SP b2b TAYHANA

Shannen SP is a London-based artist, DJ, and creative hybrid. Described as “quietly prolific” by Crack Magazine, her music and electrifying DJ sets explore the vanguard of the global club underground, bridging Gqom, Kuduro, Afro and Latin Club, Bubbling and more. Her most recent project, Mzansi Bass, the first ever sampler from Colombian record label Tratratrax, serves as an exploration of Black African Rave music that draws the lines between underground bass heavy South African genres like Gqom, 3-step, darker Amapiano, Bacardi and mutations of Pitori rap, alongside international sound system and club movements like Ballroom, Jungle, Dubstep, UK Bass and Baile Funk, receiving coverage in Resident Advisor’s Best New music and Bandcamp’s album of the Day and Rolling Stone Africa,.

Her 2026 performance highlights include Arca’s first ever Airdoll show, Draiimolen Festival on Batu’s Timedance stage, We Out Here festival for Carhartt and an Unsound Festival Adelaide, with recent tours across East Asia (Shenzhen, Shanghai, Seoul and Hong Kong) and India (Mumbai, Delhi and Goa) and Australia (Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney). She has recently curated a series of her own events called “Shannen SP presents” at Open Ground in Wuppertal, OHM Berlin and Silencio and Badaboum in Paris.

A key tastemaker in the U.K. underground, Shannen has worked behind the scenes with a number of institutions and platforms, like Hyperdub Records, where she featured on Nazar’s tracks Air Strike and Bunker, NTS Records and Spitfire Audio. Previous compilations she has produced include Amapiano Now and Cumbiaton Total, as well has her co-curation for Hyperdrub’s iconic Ø parties which featured artists like Bjork, Arca, DJ Lag and Mica Levi.

TAYHANA meanwhile is one of Latin America’s most gifted producers and DJs, a technical wizard behind the decks whose relentless energy and creativity bagged her a Grammy. TAYHANA has established herself, in a short period of time, as one of the most relevant and promising figures in the club scene around the world. Self-taught by her experience as a founder of one of the most radical parties in South America that revalued the original music of the continent, she is recognized as a central figure in the Club Latinx genre. Thanks to her aggressive way of playing, a fearless imagination mixing different rhythms, BPMs and a wide range of experimental sounds from Latin America, but mostly because of her creative capacity as a producer and a beatmaker to push the boundaries of what has been possible in the encounter of urban and traditional music from all over the continent, she has called the attention of artists such as Rosalía, Daniela Lalita, Mare Advertencia Lírica, Gaika, among many others producers and well known DJs in the industry.

Currently based in México, she has been part of the record label N.A.A.F.I, with whom she released her first albúm “Tierra del Fuego”, with great acceptance and broad recognition by the specialized media in the electronic music scene. The impact of this singular approach to club music gave her the chance to be booked in extensive tours around Europe, Asia and all over Latin America.
