Sinchi & Friends 36 - @upsammy . We were only recently introduced to the music of upsammy but were instantly won over. Get to know Thessa a little better through this 1hr meander through her musical collection and interview below.
When asked to tell us about the mix, her answer was...
'Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen' a quote from one of her favourite philosophers, which for the non German speakers (us included) can be roughly translated to;
'What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence'
1) Who are you?
I’m Thessa, I DJ and produce under the name upsammy. I am currently living in Utrecht, where I study video & media art. I also co-organize parties called Verdwaald in and around Amsterdam.
2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?
Throwing two awesome parties in a tunnel, receiving support from strangers with regard to my music, making my track To The Ocean Floor.

Also, working on an interactive dance performance called The future devouring the past during my internship at LUSTlab. In general I just really enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone, which gives me a lot of freedom.
3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?
I have a lot of music on the shelve that I still want to put out there. We are also planning another exciting Verdwaald party somewhere on an abandoned road. Furthermore, just diving into exciting stuff that I come across.
