About the artist
Sir Euphoria (also known as Såokō) is a multi-dimensional DJ and rising star whose soundscape transcends borders. Born and raised in South Africa, with Zambian roots, he embodies a rich fusion of cultures that deeply influence his music. An advocate for creative freedom, he crafts sets inspired by his travels across Europe and Africa, weaving together a blend of diverse cultural sounds.
His versatility shines through in the ability to put on a banging hip-hop set one night, take listeners on a sonic journey through electronic music on another, or introduce audiences to unique, avant-garde underground sounds. Known for blurring genre boundaries and igniting dancefloors, Såokō's style reflects his commitment to pushing sonic limits while celebrating global rhythms.
"Saoko" is a Spanish term with roots in Afro-Caribbean culture, particularly in Puerto Rico. It represents a lively, energetic feeling or attitude, often associated with music, rhythm, and dance. The word embodies a sense of flair, groove, or swagger, and it's often used to describe someone with a natural rhythm or who brings excitement and energy to a scene.
Såokō incorporates a wide range of genres from around the world to craft his unique, chaotic club sound. Drawing from jersey club, hip-hop, R&B, techno, sissy bounce, footwork, breakbeats, drill, gqom, and whatever else sparks his creativity, he creates high-energy sets that command attention. Yet, he also embraces more chilled, downtempo styles of music, showcasing his ability to balance intensity with introspection, creating a sonic experience that is as dynamic as it is immersive.
