Meenakshi

DJane Meenakshi was born 1974 in Switzerland. Already as a young girl she used all her pocket money for buying records. Her first creative contact with vinyls was heating them in the oven creating a holder for the hippy records of her dad. During the years of adolescence she was open for different musical styles like heavy metal (Testament, Anthrax, …), punk (Berurier Noir, New Model Army, …), reggae or the good old sounds of the 60’s (Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground…). Music and dance have always been important to her. For 8 years she was doing classical (south) Indian dance, Bharata Natyam.
Turning more and more to electronically influenced sounds (Young Gods, Orbital, The Orb, …), she got infected with the psychedelic virus during her first techno/trance party in 1993. After visiting many parties for some years, in 2002 she stepped behind the decks and mixer, bought her first psy and progressive trance vinyls.

The mixing became her passion. For about four years she used to combine the DJing with organising psychedelic parties (and chaishops) together with the Maya Avatar project. Today independent, she preferably dedicates her dj sets to the darker gods of night, playing pushing tunes woven into a mystical atmosphere… Dark, strong, psychedelic, that’s how Meenakshi’s heart beats! She plays the sound that touches and moves her most – taking us on a spherical, fast but sensitive journey into the deepest of our inner self, making us never want to return… ;-)
