Berlin-based, UK-raised experimental artist Perera Elsewhere (aka Sasha Perera) is back with a high-voltage double single, F*ck Le System / Time Will Tell, out now on Friends Of Friends – both featuring viral Ivorian rapper Andy S. The release serves as a bold statement on feminine strength, social rebellion, and sonic experimentation.
Perera Elsewhere (Hugo Holger Schneider x Gene Glover)
F*ck Le System hits like a jolt of electro‑rap meets tech‑dancehall, pulsed with typewriter-style syncopation and Perera’s own arpeggiated trumpet stabs. Andy S drops defiant lines like “Long story short bro fuck le système,” matching Perera’s fierce energy with swaggering vocal power. Meanwhile,Time Will Tell pivots into darker bass and glitch‑infused beats, layered under ethereal vocals. Andy S delivers sharp, self-transformative rhymes in French (“These guys talk about me, but I’m not the same person I used to be”), as Perera’s melodic tone floats above the chaos.
Born from a friendship sparked at her legendary Boiler Room set in Berlin, the collaboration finds its visual counterpart in a gritty visualiser filmed with Andy S performing alongside Perera. These new tracks herald Perera’s upcoming fourth album, Just Wanna Live Some, due 24th October 2025. The 12-track LP is expected to elevate her sonic palette even further—building on her fusion of club textures, trumpet flourishes, spoken word, and radical pop.
Perera’s career spans over a decade, from her 2013 debut Everlast to Home (2022), where she coined the term “Doom Folk.” A veteran trumpeter, DJ, grime and dubstep pioneer in Berlin, and creative force in bands like Jahcoozi, she continues to innovate—melding analog and digital, brutal and beautiful.
Of the album’s direction, she explains: “I sound fatter and faster… with less introspection and more driving tunage… Strong elements of bass and sub-bass, from Bristol to Berlin via London… songs which make you wanna cry and then get up for a dance and fight a war on all injustice.”
Perera and Andy S recorded Time Will Tell during Sasha’s Goethe-Institute residency in Berlin, layering new vocals over an existing instrumental. For F*ck Le System, Andy S supplied raw verses that Perera built an electrifying beat around—demonstrating their studio synergy and shared alignment. As Perera notes, Berlin has already embraced Andy S, and the UK is next in line.
Between her guerrilla trumpeting, genre-smashing production, and fearless performance ethos, Perera Elsewhere continues to redefine the boundaries of electronic music—and now, with Andy S’s fiery presence, she’s turning up the heat. Keep an eye out for Just Wanna Live Some this October.
