CLASSICAL JAZZ ETHNIC ELECTRONIC DANCE

CLASSICAL JAZZ ETHNIC ELECTRONIC DANCE

Genre-bending DJ

It was after organising the first (ever) Classical Music Rave that I became fascinated by deejaying. The art of mixing existing pieces of music into a new work of art; a collage of sounds geared towards making people dance.

After learning the basics from a friend with whom I formed a DJ duo and demonstrated that it was perfectly possible to dance to classical, as long as you were brave enough to try. Then I expanded my music production skills so that I could mix classical music (notoriously free when it comes to rhythm) with electronic dance music (quite the opposite).

Add to that a background in musicology and a keen mind for art history and then you get my ideal DJ-set: historically informed, connecting past to present and all in a party setting. Oh and sometimes, I bring my cello or other musical friends.
