Anja Torres is a young DJ / producer who is originally from Uruguay, began playing violin, while the curiosity and passion for sounds finally led her to first production attempts on her brother’s Atari. While her general interest in music has been aroused by new romantics, wave and grunge, her first dj adventures started with underground hip hop to rap. As her interest, knowledge and skills developed, her DJ style became more electronic when she stumbled upon Moodymann’s “Amerika”.

It was in summer 2008 that Anja started playing frequently in clubs and events in and around Montevideo. First DJ appearances throughout southamerica and her first own nights and residencies followed soon.

In 2008 she started her own productions with ableton live. More and more clubs became aware of the talent with that powerful, vivid temper, who intuitionally knows how to enchant her crowd whether during smart-building warm-up or igniting main-time sessions.

The most significant highlight of this unique career has been saved for autumn 2012, when her debut artist album gets released.
