I keep saying that we will be releasing our new tracks SOON, however Juano is a perfectionist and will not let me share our music until it is dead on perfect.. AND SO it does not look like we will be having our full release for a few more weeks maybe in the New Year but I do have a small preview of one of my favorite tracks we are working on.
For all those 90's kids & lovers here is a snippet of our re-make/remix of the outstanding 'All that she wants' by Ace of Base... I hope you ENJOY!
It is no secret I have an alter-ego and her name is Piwi! When I am not blogging, cooking, working, looking after my nephew or aimlessly walking in the park I am in my bedroom (which is actually a garage lol) making electronic music! YES the BOOM BOOM TUKA TUKA kind of music!
This hobby stems from my recent history of living in Barcelona, where you can not avoid the insane party scene. Plus my boyfriend Juan is a developed DJ & producer originally from Argentina, and I seem to have that obsession of thinking I can do anything and try to do it better than the last. I feel sorry for Juan, it must be so annoying to be my partner haha.

Since moving back to NZ (temporarily!) I have found the scene for my kind of music does exist BUT it is very small and like any music world it is about networking and going out to meet people which I have to say here in Auckland is bloody EXPENSIVE! So for now while I spend my last few months in NZ I am happy to lock myself in the studio and MAKE music like never before. Below I have added a link which will take you to an hour long set of music I put together from favorite tracks of September :)
So with the Resident Advisor Top DJ poll for 2012 coming out soon I have made my selection of who I think the top 3 DJ's & top 3 Producers for 2012 should be.
Top DJ's for 2012:
1. Solomun
NB: I went to this party in 2011 - INSANE! Dancing on the beach by the airport with crazy aeroplanes flying over really low, a LOT of great people and the music just Top Dog! This is from the 2012 Off-Sonar party at Chiringuito Calamar (I have also played here once!! Lol claim to fame!)
2. Damian Lazarus 3. Art Department
Top Electronic Producers for 2012:
1. Maceo Plex
NB: Maceo Plex also with DJ alias Maetrik is seriously my IDOL. a LEGEND.
2. Soul Clap 3. Lee Foss
I am finishing off a couple of tracks in the next few days to be released - Watch this space so you don't miss out!! A lot of 90's rap inspiration coming through in these past few months with of course the tech-house flavors!
