Sassy 009

Hyperpop has become a defining presence at Pop-Kultur Festival – a genre that feels like a dream, constantly shifting, never fully within reach. It is precisely in this space that Sassy 009 operates. Her music feels as though it is heard through a veil: familiar pop moments surface, dissolve again, and blur into shimmering textures. Everything appears slightly displaced – voices lose their edges, only to reassemble in new forms.

As the title of her album »Dreamer+« suggests, this is less about clear contours than about atmosphere, about that elusive state between wakefulness and drifting away. Sassy 009 creates sonic spaces where exaggeration is not loud, but soft. Her aesthetic draws on fragments of digital culture, transient images and half-formed memories.

The name itself – once simply a SoundCloud username – feels almost programmatic: something accidental that stayed. It is within this state of suspension that her strength lies. The songs do not demand attention; they draw you in, slowly. And live, when Sassy 009 performs as a trio, that feeling intensifies – like a shared descent into a fleeting dream.
