A San Francisco selecta, Lil Sur's eclectic musical interests span from deconstructed club to footwork to UK bass, weaving together experimental dance music with a global flair vis-a-vis her Desi heritage.

Lil Sur (aka Juhi Gupta) began DJing in 2018 on Chicago’s storied WHPK radio station, where she first fell in love with curating unconventional and textural sound. She hosts a residency called Kismat on sutro.fm , and has been featured on Fault Radio, Hyde.FM, and Live from CREATE. She produces electronic music sampling classic Bollywood, field recordings, and the soundscape of the Bay Area. She’s performed at beloved local venues like 1015 FolsomF8, Arcana, and Mothership, and brought her sound to spaces and festivals as wide-ranging as Sunset Campout in Belden Town, CA; Gem & Jam Festival in Tucson, AZ; JUNA in Goa, India; The Paramount Theater in Oakland CA; and renegades up and down the California coast. During the pandemic, she co-hosted renegades across SF and the East Bay with Denaturant and pArt Deco, and continues to champion queer and POC musical talent across the Bay, especially artists pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
