Sharlese (Us)

Seattle-based DJ and radio host Sharlese thrives on the unexpected, weaving dark and diverse sounds into hypnotic sets that move between electro, EBM, Italo and techno. Her performances have lit up dance floors worldwide—from IFM in the Netherlands, Tresor West in Dortmund and Panorama Bar in Berlin, to Merge in New York. Her acclaimed mixes for podcasts such as BITE, Feinstoff and KIHDI further reveal her gift for creating intimate, emotional spaces—whether for dancing, reflection, or catharsis.

Beyond the booth, Sharlese has been a driving force at the legendary KEXP for 17 years, where she produces The Afternoon Show and hosts Mechanical Breakdown, dedicated to underground and boundary-pushing music. As a curator and organizer, she built the Audiodrome party in Seattle, streaming live on Intergalactic.fm, and runs False Prophet, a celebrated live series that has showcased artists like ADULT., Nuovo Testamento and Kris Baha. With her residencies across Seattle and San Francisco, Sharlese remains a vital connector in the global underground. We are delighted to welcome her to Grauzone Festival.
