Whether via her DJ sets or label Big Saldo’s Chunkers,

Sally C has developed one of the most distinctive sonic

signatures in electronic music. The Belfast-born, Berlin-

based artist traverses the gamut of vintage house, hip

house, acid and breakbeat, all with that unmistakable

Chunker sound.

Sally’s DJing journey begun in 2010 at the Reading

Rooms in Dundee, Scotland, an iconic local club, playing

host to the likes of DJ Pierre, DJ Sneak and Green Velvet.

It was here she met an open-minded and accepting

community and gained a crucial education in digging,

mixing and all things dance music culture, an

experience that would set her up for the rest of her

career.

These guiding principles of authenticity, community and

independence lie at the core of who Sally is as an artist

and have de

ned her brick-by-brick journey since day

one. Moving to Berlin in 2015, she etched out a spot in

the city’s thriving club scene, throwing parties at

Griessmühle and her own open-air raves, all the while

building a fanbase for her raw and chunky style. When

she was tapped for her debut Boiler Room in 2019 at AVA

Festival, it was a noticeable levelling up. No longer a

developing talent, RA lauded her as a festival highlight,

noting her “musical range and technical acuity”.
