Her music seamlessly blends cultural roots with the environment she inhabits, forging a modern Silk Road connecting different regions. While DJs exploring diverse genres is no longer a novelty, her music retains a unique quality, characterized by a graceful and warm comfort that unmistakably belongs to Yu Su.
