Most likely, Suzi Wong would be a virtuos jazz piano player by now, if she had not been infected by Techno and House in the mid-90s. So, it was only natural that she had to swap piano lessons for a mixer, two turntables and a busload lot of 12” vinyls. This turned out to be the right decision, for she is now well known to the scene and as of the most in-demand female DJs in Berlin.
Ms Wong was born as Christine Giese in Lower Saxonia and this year, she celebrated her 12th DJ anniversary. 12 wild years of Wong-Parties everywhere between the underground (legendary semi-legal clubs like Dönerlounge or Bad Kleinen, for example) and the hippest clubs of the capital. Tresor, Maria, WMF or E-Werk, you name it – Suzi has played 'em all and rocked the crowds with her irresistible mix that melts funky Techno, jackin' House, Electro and some rough sounds into one. Since spring 2007, one can hear Suzi play in re-opened Tresor and in Club Maria on a regular basis.
Ms Wong also enjoys a good reputation beyond Berlin's boundaries, partly due to her tours with Juan Atkins & Blake Baxter, RJD2 and Andrea Parker that led her through all major German cities and last not least due to her gigs at big festivals suchas Splash!, Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Art Basel or Sonne, Mond & Sterne.
In addition to all the DJ-ing, she proves her musical versatility in her own nationwide radio show, Coke dj-culture on Air, which she co-moderates with Hip-Hop expert DJ B.Side since 2004. Every week, they deliver a mix that goes beyond all styles. So far, they are broadcasted on the radio stations Jam FM & Big FM.
Suzi's sets are dominated by her innovative and eclectic selection, a high level of energy, liveliness, an instinct for the moment and her empathy for the audience. Take this quote from her colleague Andrea Parker:
“You can't go wrong with Suzi Wong!”
