SOUND
The Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Emma Burgess-Olsen, who performs under the moniker Umfang, is one of the most meritorious club culture activists of the moment. She co-founded the Discwoman collective, which supports female, queer, and transgender DJs in a business still dominated by heterosexual males. And she has her own idiosyncratic voice as a musician, too: Subdued yet dense ambient soundscapes and sludgy dark drones blossom into smooth stretches of duple beats, which yield quirky funk and groove qualities through subtle shifts in the rhythmic patterns.
