River moon
Hailing from Cape Town, growing up in New York and making current residence in Berlin, River Moon is a producer, songwriter, recording artist, DJ and send-declared Rave Princess.
Having graced a pandemic stricken music landscape with her emotionally inspired, genre transcending debut mixtape Martyr in summer 2020, River has only just begun to cement herself as a world class popstar, DJ (formerly under the moniker Saint Deepthroat). With collaborations under her diamante studded belt including the likes of LSDXOXO and Azealia Banks, fashion giants like Telfar, No Sesso and Marc Jacobs, and DJing on international platforms like Boiler Room, NTS and HÖR Berlin, River is truly on the world’s radar.
With the underpinning of black electronic pioneers, River’s sound is an imaginative interlacing of the queer electro-pop scene of her South African home, with Afro-Futurism, hip-hop, ballroom and club influences from every corner of the globe she reaches. The amalgamation is anything from the sexually charged lyrics of dance floor fillers like SHAKE DAT, to the atmospheric contemplations of Martyr’s almost solely instrumental catalogue.
Bound for her biggest year yet, River will make her Berghain debut this Spring, as well as delivering a slew of features, remix projects and production collaborations, and her own upcoming body of work- River’s Revenge.
