We are delighted to announce Esya and Annie-Claude Deschenes will be playing at Just Dropped In records on Saturday 24th October 2026, in association with Sink or Swim Promotions.
Ayse Hassan is a British composer, musician, singer and bass player, best known as co-founder and co-writer of the post-punk band Savages, whose debut album Silence Yourself and follow-up Adore Life received widespread critical recognition and award nominations.
Alongside this work, she co-founded the experimental electronic duo Kite Base with Kendra Frost and has collaborated on the project 180db with Fay Milton.
Under the solo alias ESYA, she explores industrial-leaning, beat-driven electronic music shaped by themes of identity, transformation and psychological tension.
Multidisciplinarity is an integral part of the creative process of Annie-Claude Deschênes, who continues her perpetual personal quest of uniting music and performance art by bending the pre-established conventions of stage presence. A key figure on the Montreal independent music scene for almost twenty years, she made her mark as a singer, musician, songwriter, performer and visual artist with Duchess Says and PyPy, two bands that are renowned as much for their electrifying performances as for their artistic sensibility. Her exploratory approach to staging and sound design takes a new direction with the genesis of this solo project: the urgency that characterizes her work remains, but frustration and aggression give way to introspection and vulnerability. Annie-Claude Deschênes explores and reinvents herself under her own name, driven by a constant need to create outside her comfort zone.
