My DJ debut at the UK Trance Society Christmas Party 2019 at Club Reina, Farringdon, London UK. I was delighted to warm up with a set between 132 and 136bpm, meaning that I could play tracks including an original production of mine and J'ai Envie De Toi, the track which first made me fall in love with trance.

I still need to work a little on my transitions, as you'll hear, but I was satisfied with this as a debut. Most importantly, I found it totally exhilarating to play live and craft a set for the friends and loved ones who came to support me <3

Mixmag Competition Entry

Ad Astra, known to her friends as Alex, was born and bred in northwest England but has been resident in Malmö, Sweden since 2018. Classically trained in music, she has been scribbling out melodies for as long as she has been able to write. When she fell in love with trance in late 2014, it wasn't long until she got herself a copy of Ableton and started teaching herself to recreate the sounds which were the soundtrack to magical nights in London, Amsterdam, Switzerland, and beyond.
