̸BIOGRAPHY
Soft Break is a Rotterdam-born and based DJ, audiovisual artist and designer.
Early encounters with her city's jungle, dubstep and grime scene are heavily reflected in her eclectic sets. Her DJ sets move through gentle vocals, percussion, hard drums, footwork, hiphop and sub destroying bass. Expect genre-busting, energy-driven aural narratives, full of unexpected twists and turns.
Graduated from No Shade DJ Mentoring Program 2020 in Berlin, she’s steadily rising. 2022 became a year of major debuts, wowing crowds at Dekmantel Festival, De School, WOO HAH!, Vandalized, Sonic Acts, SPIELRAUM and Dekmantel Selectors throughout a variety of outstanding sets, frequently sharing the stage with her companion Nala Brown.
She is a founding member of the collective AMPFEMININE, curating mixes by femme-identifying DJ’s, booking talent and hosting events and parties.
Through her work in music, design, and art, she aims to highlight Black Dutch representations in archives and questions notions of memory, identity, space and time. Soft Break has performed and talked on panels regarding feminism, spatiality of social relations and queers politics at institutions such as Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Het Nieuwe Instituut.
