SUFYVN is a Toronto-based electronic music producer hailing from Khartoum, known for his use of Sudanese instrumentation and unique approach to percussion. Inspired by the hip hop scene, having first encountered the genre as a teenager through the program MTV, SUFYVN initially started making beats on which to rap, progressively experimenting with electronic music as he discovered artists such as Flying Lotus. Since then, his production has drawn from various musical genres, weaving traditional Sudanese music and rhythms with contemporary beatmaking and synthesizers. EPs such as Ascension (2017) and Pseudarhythm Vol. 3 (2021) expertly showcase the collision of ancient and modern, highlighting the distinctive percussion techniques of Nubian villages located in the north of Sudan. His productions have been featured in various international festivals, such as Sled Island in Calgary (Canada), Arab Film in Rotterdam (The Netherlands), and Clandestino in Gothenburg (Sweden).
