Pac Woman começa o seu percurso de Digital Jockey em Fevereiro de 2007, vindo a participar no projecto B-80’s em Lisboa, não só como organizadora e promotora, mas também como DJ.O fascÃnio pela música dos anos ’80 em paralelo ao gosto pelas sonoridades eletrónicas mais actuais, como o techno e a house music marcam o estilo de Pac Woman, que mistura hits do passado em chave modernista, não deixando de parte aquelas sonoridades menos comerciais que determinaram o inÃcio da música de dança em nÃvel mundial.Do Pop ao Electro, do Acid-House ao Disco Sound, do Synth-Pop ao Italo Disco, passando pelo Freestyle e o Darkwave: este é o repertório de referência, oferecido porém em versão revista e personalizada por momentos puramente live, onde loops conhecidos renascem e se transformam em algo novo, sem perder o sabor de sempre.Com esta "mala" de sons, Pac Woman passou pelas cabines do Trumps, do Club Souk, do Karma (Lisboa) e do EspÃrito da Coisa (Moita). Pontualmente, reside nas noites itinerantes Retro-Futurism, os novos eventos assinados B-80's .
Pac Woman was born as a Dj almost for joke, invited to perform at the 80's oriented parties she was already organizing in Lisbon, Portugal. The idea was to defy dancing public to the forgotten concept of mixed old school dance and pop music and to change the fate of 80’s music as it is commonly spinned nowadays, marked by the "fade in-fade out" curse of many self-defined Djs.
Pac Woman had previously experienced Djing House Music and Techno, reaching a satisfying amateur level which, in the end, had no real reason to pursue. After discovering the magic of Dj Hell's Gigoló Nights, no more space for doubts was left: she eventually established her taste and style in the never ending source of 80's music - first passion, definitive love!
At ease with both turntables and CD players, Pac Woman elected instead Ableton Live. Besides the huge charm existing in the contradiction of playing old music with modern and technological tools, the possibility of astonishing results is too appealing to be kept apart. Every DJ set is a live session too: as a Digital Jockey, Pac Woman will re-edit some of the tracks using loops and samples live while performing, giving new life to those old sounds we all remember.
Pac Woman regularly spins Pop and Synth Pop hits of the 80's, giving large space to Disco Music and Italo Disco but also to Electro, Acid House, New Wave, Eurobeat and Detroit Techno, this way aiming to give public an insight of what the 80’s were at that time and what they meant for the next generations of dancers.
As soon as she started she was invited to a weekly residence at the Lisbon’s renowned gay disco "Trumps" , detaining credits for being the only female Dj who ever played there. Pac Woman brought her vision of the 80’s also to the dancefloors of Karma, Club Souk (Lisbon) and EspÃrito da Coisa (Moita). Her mixtapes (so to say) have already received good feedback by several Djs and producers. Waiting for more valuable chances and again active into the project B-80's , Pac Woman is available for bookings anywhere.---------------------------------------------------
