IHA

DJ | MOTHER CLOUD SPATIAL SOUND FESTIVAL

IHA is a music and art project conceived by Apple Cabrera, based in the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.

Known in Vancouver's underground for their atmospheric, playful and yet cataclysmic sound curation, their dj sets engage with layers of drones and breaks in forms of shapeshifting realms. 2023 sees them sharing the bill with artists Rhyw, Om Unit, Atrice, and Blume, with features in festivals across the pond: Basscoast (BC), Future Forest (NB), Active Passive (BC), Osmosis (OR), and ADE (AMS).

With roots in collective work for FM radio, community building and skill-sharing fronts their approach. Curating events centered around integrating the visual with the auditory, their upcoming label NAGA aims to expand definitions of club nights, as well as integrate the local with the international. Having released under Vancouver's own PPRZ, Weirdos Inc, and mixes out on many podcasts and beyond since 2021, they are also known to perform the occasional ambient/experimental live PA.
