Yuka Yu

Hailing from Taipei, Taiwan, Yuka is a sound and film artist and DJ. With a mix of Chinese, Japanese and Dutch heritage, she has infused her music with a global sensibility. She began DJing while living in London, where she bridged the underground and the mainstream. Her sets weave unique stories and take listeners on a genre-mixing, multicultural musical journey. Yuka has played in premiere nightclubs and other venues all over London, East Asia, and North America. Her Chinatown After Dark parties have become a local favorite. She also sings and plays the Chinese flute, and DJ’s regularly with live musicians who play the Guzheng (古筝), violin, bass guitar, trumpet and didgeridoo — with her genre-bending electronic style. Yuka’s career highlights include playing on the Insomniac Camp OG stage at EDC Las Vegas, playing at Ministry of Sound (London), Noise Pop featival and The Independent in SF, and the Rabbit Hole (New Orleans) during Jazzfest at night, as well as art exhibitions for Laura Kimpton at the Sausalito Center for Arts and Yuan Goang-Ming at the Asian Art Museum, where she also showcased her own video art.
