Chelsea Faith Dolan, better known by her stage name Cherushii (September 14, 1983 – December 2, 2016), was an electronic music producer, DJ, live performer, and radio host based in San Francisco, California. Her passion for dance music history was evident in her work, which took cues from Detroit techno, Chicago house, and classic rave sounds. A multi-instrumentalist since childhood, Chelsea began experimenting with electronics as a teenager, which lead to playing live techno and house at underground raves in the 2000s. She had been working as a live performer, producer, DJ, and remixer for over a decade, using her gear savvy and innate musicianship to create lush, retro-futurist productions. Cherushii signed with LA-based dance music tastemakers 100% Silk in 2013, and released her second 12" for the label "Far Away So Close" in November 2015. While Cherushii has received little recognition from mainstream media, her music is of enormous influence in the underground music scene. Fellow electronic musician and frequent collaborator Maria Minerva has called Cherushii "criminally underrated". Dolan was one of 36 victims of a fire that broke out at an underground venue and artist collective in Oakland, California, commonly referred to as the Ghost Ship warehouse, on December 2, 2016. After Cherushii's death 100% Silk released a memorial edition tape of Memory of Water, previously out of print. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Cherushii">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
