Yuzu aka Milena Georgieva is Sofia-born, Vienna-based DJ, composer and artist. Her approach towards music is unorthodox, following the lead of personal obsessions and curiosity. In her compositions she is working with synthesized auralities, concrete textures, and a weave of field recordings and samples, that trace virtual and actual soundscapes. Personal happy/horror stories and intimate fears, glued together by pleasures and desires are irregularly penetrated by algoraving beats further shaping these mutant bodies of sound into an angelic beast.
Likewise her DJ-sets transgress genre boundaries forming far out and uanticipated narratives. Complex sound gestalts emerge through non-conform and offbeat mixing strategies. She plays with building up and releasing tension, while oscillating between airy and dense textures, hi and lo tempo and so leading through unexpected flows of happy, dark, ecstatic, hard, concrete, and defragmented, clear and distorted. Raging beasts dissolve into ambience, hymnic angels arise to usher in flames of noise, spanked out by acidic beats.
Yuzu has been witnessed in Vienna, Berlin, London, Sofia, Linz, Innsbruck as well as at Wiener Festwochen, ImpulsTanz, Elevate Festival, Unsafe + Sounds Festival, Velak Gala, Kulturtankstelle Linz, WAF Gallery, New new World Radio, Berlin Community Radio and FLUCA among others.
