Saskia is a Belgian-based artist whose work occupies a unique intersection of 1980s DIY cassette culture and modern experimental electronics. While her discography includes archival releases like 'I Love My Vuilisbakkie' (1986), her contemporary recognition stems largely from the 2020 release 'Eeuwig Op Reis,' which captivated the underground electronic scene with its murky, dub-influenced atmosphere.
Her sound identity is defined by a 'submerged' aesthetic, utilizing heavy reverb, tape saturation, and minimalist arrangements that recall the work of artists like Jabu or the more ambient-leaning output of the AD 93 label. Critically, she is viewed as a bridge between the historical Dutch/Belgian experimental scenes and the modern 'lo-fi' electronic movement. Her career arc is non-linear, characterized by long periods of obscurity followed by a resurgence fueled by internet crate-digging culture and platforms like Soulseek. She maintains a cult status among collectors of outsider pop and experimental ambient music.
