On Saturday 7th March, @dotsbayhouse welcomes a landmark moment as @anushkam makes her Sri Lanka debut bringing one of the most dynamic and genre-fluid sounds in contemporary electronic music to the island for the very first time. Anushka is known for powerful, immersive sets that move seamlessly across house, techno, bass and edgy breaks, blending depth with drive to create journeys built for the dance floor. With a sound shaped by constant evolution and a deep connection to rhythm and energy, she has built a reputation for captivating audiences across major stages and global circuits. Her performances have taken her to Lollapalooza India, Wonderfruit Festival (Thailand), Magnetic Fields Festival (India) and the iconic Warehouse Project, each appearance reinforcing her status as a bold and forward-thinking artist. Now, she brings that same energy and boundary-pushing sound to Sri Lanka for the first time. Opening the night is Dayaja, as mysterious as the three syllables that form his name. The Paris-born, Sri Lanka-based DJ/producer is a decade-long selector with a wide-ranging and exploratory taste. Moving through Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Dub and abstract textures, his sets flow into Breakbeat, UKG, House, 140 and Dubstep, always guided by nuance, atmosphere and rhythm. With his debut EP, entirely produced in Sri Lanka and scheduled for release at the end of 2026, Dayaja represents a new wave of forward-leaning sound rooted in curiosity and depth.

Small rewind to the first gig of the year that happened last month ⏪️ And what an incredible night it was ! Had a lot of fun playing that set, and sharing the line-up with such great artists was truly a blessing 🙏 @ahadadreamx @mypandashallfly @__vindya Huge thank for @dialledin_ and @snafuproject fam' for the trust 🫡 And shout out to our shadowy figures @geve_human 🎚@nigelpereralk 📽 @nuwaaaan 💡 Thanks to everyone who showed up that night, 1000£ were raised in support of the @thebiodiversityproject ongoing flood relief efforts (you can continue to support them :) 📹 @kiy.o_

This Friday at @kicks_ahangama we’re turning the dance floor into action 👊💙 We’re hosting a special fundraiser — all proceeds from the night go directly to @sambolfoundation 🇱🇰 to support flood-relief efforts in Sri Lanka. Because music unites. Because community cares. Because together we can rebuild 🙌 @tropicalwaxsrilanka DJ’s have graciously donated their fees for the evening to the cause, because Sri Lanka is our home and together we have always come together to support one another the way this beautiful island supports all of us 🙏🏾 Let’s raise the roof — and raise real support for people in need. Share. Dance. Donate. Every Rupee counts. #TropicalWax #KicksAhangama #SambolFoundation #SriLanka #FloodRelief #Fundraiser #DanceForGood #Community
