Ayy Dendrum and bass artist
Now residing in Manchester, UK, Ayy Den is a first generation Eritrean - Canadian. Having been raised on a diet of hip-hop, reggae, dancehall, soul pop and house music, her influences are far reaching. Combining this with the exciting sounds of UK bass genres, Funky, Garage and Dubstep that made their way across the pond, Ayy Den naturally moved from a solely passionate listener to a radio host and is now a phenomenal DJ & producer. Beginning her journey on the decks back in 2015 when herself and a friend were snowed in their house. One of the few perks of a Canadian winter. Fast forward to 2020 and she releases her first track ‘Pressure Dip’ in collaboration with UK producer Murder He Wrote on Leeds based label 1Fourty. Quickly garnering support from legends in the game, DJ EZ, Kurupt FM, Conducta, My Nu Leng, ‘Pressure Dip’ became instantly recognisable in clubs and across the airwaves on BBC, NTS and Rinse. Her most recent release ‘Werk’ features on Spanish producer & DJ AWW’s album ‘LADAH TEMPLE’. An impressive album that includes all female and non-binary producers and vocalists. As a DJ, her sets are an eclectic bass led mix of UK Funky, Jersey Club, Garage, Grime, Footwork and beyond. Always exciting and most importantly always fun, her mixes have been featured in various publications including Trench and The Face Magazine. With slots on NTS and Rinse FM and further afield Rinse France, German station Cosmo Radio and one of Finnish’s best dance music stations…
