MyGen
Profile GeneratorI started DJing in 1999 at the age of 13, I got into this through my dad as he was a mobile DJ at the time. In the year 2000 I was raving it up down the Sanctuary, London, and Birmingham I grew a big passion for drum and bass. The whole scene amazed me and I wanted to be involved. Taking over my dads Technics I decided that would be the path to take, especially being a female I thought I could bring something different to the scene.I joined a course at the Roadmender which was run by a group of people called the Pedestrians, on this course I learnt turntablism and how to use the turntable as an instrument. Once I had successfully completed this course I then knew the basics of being a DJ. From then onwards I would practice in my bedroom making mix tapes to send to different promoters. The style of drum and bass I play and love is jump up strictly party music! Artists that I would be drawn to were Twisted Individual, Hazard and Sub Focus and many more! I came up with my DJ name by using my name Michelle to Mixelle = MXL!I then got my first booking in April 2003 at the bottle and shot bar in Kettering. These bookings helped me gain experience in playing to an audience and also gave me the chance network with other people in the Drum and Bass scene. It was this year I then started getting booked at a night called Breakup which was the main Drum and Bass night in Northampton at the time, with DJs such as Mickey Finn,J Majik,Kenny Ken headlining. From then onwards I was getting to play out on a regular basis.In 2004 at the age of 16 I still wanted to learn more about the music industry so I did a National Diploma in Music Technology at college. This gave me an insight into how drum and bass was made, the production side of things. This course gave me the opportunity to create live studio mixes onto CD and create my own tracks. My next move was to then carry on promoting myself to gain more bookings.As the years have now gone on I am now at the age of 20 and have played in many different towns ie: Northampton, Kettering, Leicester, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Grantham, Worcester, Evesham to name but a few. My latest achievement is winning the Next Generation Competition run by Raveology. This gives me the chance to play in Birmingham at the Drum and bass awards 2007....WATCH THIS SPACEMUZIKHERTZTRIGGA BIRTHDAY BASHawardsrandom concept presents innovationHysterialegacyraveologypontins
