Carol Schutzer (DJ Cashu)

The music of Carolina Schuzter aka Cashu carries a history. The history arises inside a party, with its sensation as well as its hypnotic and nervous narratives. This meditative atmosphere flows among dub techno, techno and house, coming along with percussive elements and paced drum beats. Her music touches the fragility of the body, proposing a mental sound which fills the sonority with emotions.

Before focusing on her own music, Cashu has been always dialoguing with political and urgent issues of São Paulo city. With the aim of occupying and decentralizing the scene, she created Mamba Negra, an independent brand that offers experiences of many and diverse artistic languages. The street events that occupy degraded and non-habited areas as well as student and artistic habitations result in self-managed festivals.

Mamba Negra is constantly working on live and organic music: It is a group of artistic paths which also works as a musical project, agency, visual intervention dispositor and a label. In 2015, Carol also created the Virus Radioproject – the online radio of Mamba Negra, a bi-weekly broadcast that presents live acts and DJ sets, providing support to the local scene and connecting artists from other cities or countries that are in the São Paulo city.

Cashu has already played with different groups and collectives from other states that occupy, decentralize and hack the Brazilian electronic scene, performing in more that 15 Brazilian cities. She brings that energy to the big clubs and festivals, playing on DIY and warehouse parties and places like Terraza (Florianópolis) and Rio Me Festival (Rio de Janeiro).
