DJ ISIS a.k.a. 100% ISIS
profile
Being one of the first female pioneers in electronic dance music, ISIS is now considered to be one of the world’s Top Ten female dj’s in the tech-house area.
Her deejay-sets can be best described as a refreshing adventure through the here and now of modern dance music. Her style is sparkling and unconventional. The industry sometimes categorizes Isis as a so-called tech-house deejay, but Isis herself defines her sets as: “a mixture of mainly electronical, repetitive dance music with a touch of minimal and electro. The harmony within the individual tracks and the whole mix is my guidelineâ€. Also, her sets are characterized by various ethnical influences, for instance African, Eastern, Latin American and Dub.
Besides being a deejay and producer Isis also runs her own booking agency Magma, organises successful events and on top of that she has her own label ‘All is One’ Records.

Next to her agency Magma and her successful events, Isis has founded her own label ‘All is One Records’ in October 2005. For Isis this is a milestone in her career. The label ‘All is One’ builds a bridge between different genres like techno, house, ambient and experimental dance-music.
The first EP, containing tracks of Dimitri & Piet Jan Blauw, Gijs van Klooster & Tommy van Huystee and Frenchman Taho, has been a big hit in the underground scene of Holland and Germany. The second EP produced by Arjuna Schiks was released in 2008. Arjuna won Vinylized, the price for most talented producer in Holland. More tracks of Arjuna together with Isis are in the making.
