About

Sai Versailles is a multimedia journalist focused on culture reporting and writing.

Under her DJ artist name Versailles, Sai traverses a range of genres with especially deep crates of film scores and soundtracks, as well as percussive and hypnotic electronic music.

Sai is also the curator of the newsletter and radio show, Cultural Learnings. Once described as radiating “the fond specificity of “a mixtape smothered in fingerprints,” the Cultural Learnings radio show is a sonic exploration of one theme – whether a music or film genre, an artist, or a carefully curated “vibe” à la field recordings, sound bites, interviews, and more.

Versailles’ residency on Refuge Worldwide covers a spectral library of music where “rhythm and beat coalesce,” such in jazz, hip-hop, R’n’B, soul, reggae, and dub.

Sai earned an MPhil from the University of Oxford.
