Suzi Analogue is an incredibly versatile producer, vocalist, designer, and educator whose futuristic, forward-thinking music blends abstract hip-hop, neo-soul, and electronic experimentation. Evolving from experimental hip-hop with blown-out, off-kilter beats and smooth vocals, her music since the mid-2010s has embraced increased BPMs, fusing drum'n'bass, footwork, and other forms of high-energy club music. True to her name, she releases much of her music on formats such as cassette and vinyl, and she runs a tape label called Never Normal Records. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, she has resided in numerous cities including Philadelphia, Tokyo, New York, and Miami, and she's taught music production courses in Uganda, the Netherlands, and the University of North Carolina. Infinite Zonez (2022) collected highlights from her self-released Zonez mixtapes.

Born Maya Shipman in 1987, she dubbed herself Suzi Analogue in tribute to RZA's moniker Bobby Digital. She first surfaced in 2009 with the digital release World. Excerpts 1-9 on Fresh Selects, and as part of the Klipmode collective along with fellow experimental hip-hop producers Knxwledge, Devonwho, and Mndsgn. Her 2010 release NNXTAPE featured production by artists including Teebs, Ohbliv, and Dibiase, and earned acclaim from the underground music press. Suzi's 2011 7" single NNXT (released by Dopeness Galore) featured a collaboration with Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins.

In 2016, she issued the mainly instrumental Zonez V.1 and V.2, which took her sound in a more uptempo direction, influenced by Chicago's footwork scene. Her ties to the scene solidified when she appeared on Teklife-affiliated producer DJ Earl's Open Your Eyes LP, and collaborated with him under the name WORKFLOWW. Zonez V.3 appeared in 2017, with DJ Taye, also of Teklife, guesting on one track. She released "Never Normalize," a collaboration with King Britt, in early 2019, and Zonez V.4 included guests like Junglepussy, RP Boo, and Michael Millions. Suzi issued several singles and EPs throughout 2020 and 2021, including Su Casa, and she remixed Dawn Richard's song "Boomerang."
