For Electric Deluxe the machinist and freeform fan serves up her ‘birds in the ocean mix’ exploring (in her words) “the mysteries of the deep, weaving together layers of pulses, drones, currents, reflections and flutters… Elements of life, water, and electricity, submersed in dreamtime, carried by tides.”

🎛 The sound of Techno drives me 🎛 Originally from London raised in Lincolnshire in the UK. A lover of a broad range of music i have eclectic taste but my heart lies with bass music and dance orientated sounds.
From hearing the Dub and Reggae my dad and uncles used to play as a boy to  the Jungle and Drum & Bass tapes i used to collect as youngster at school to the Acid & Progressive House and Trance i used to dance to when i first started to attend electronic music events right up to the deep dubby mechanical and technoid minded music I cant help but be immersed in currently.  I have been honoured to have my dj mixes featured on podcasts such as TSESSIONS, London, and blessed to have been part of online radio events such THE END Celebration, an event that celebrated the iconic London club The End, the music, the people and amazing residents such as the one Mr C (Superfreq Records/The Shamen), Colin Dale, Murf and Layo & Bushwacka to only name a few, and I was lucky enough to have contributed a set along side these amazing artists. I have had music released as part of a Free Download compilation called Parts From The DAT by TB Arthur an Acid House and Electro from Chicago who is one half of Blotter Trax, who are based in Berlin, alongside Detroit's very own Magda, a Minimal Techno cornerstone and pioneer and label owner (Perm/ Items&Things with Marc Houle and Troy Pierce) and this was another blessing that I keep deep in my heart in the hope to share and release again and work harder.
 Electronic music has always had a profound effect on me, and i'm fascinated with the way it can move people both emotionally and physically,the way it is created and performed and i am also driven by the need to search for truly special music to play as a DJ and study as a producer. Inspired by my surroundings, whether quiet woodland solitude or bleak city night walks, I find there is beauty and inspiration in everything.
I have been moving to reflect this in the studio by introducing more hardware synths, modular sources, diy synths and drum machines to explore the foundations of sound design creativity and to work on a more experimental esoteric approach to creating and recording music for the future. Always looking, learning and seeking to evolve, to fully understand old/new concepts/techniques and to discover future sounds and join all the dots. 
Thanks for being there, much PEACE.
