DJ Set: Dalia Ahmed (FM4)

On “Still,” her debut album, Joja sets
opposites on a collision course. After breaking pop and R&B samples,
experimental music, and sound clusters into track fragments, she adds dark bass
frequencies and intricate rhythms to create catchy synth melodies with
surprising timbres. The results are danceable excerpts such as “holy” and
pop-embracing, poetic tracks like “front.”
