About Me


Welcome my lovelies...
Louise Eksteen's the name and this site is dedicated to all the musicians and producers I've worked with. Thank you all! My specialities include singing, programming, arranging, composing, keyboard and some guitar.
Louise Eksteen has worked on numerous production-based projects since her early teens. These endeavours would include work alongside the electronic group Strange, dance-label Afroboogie, producer Simon Fine and AKA Lightsleeper (with whom she made her live debut at the Flux festival in 2003).
She was also involved with Dark Templar, an electro-Goth band and Merchandize, an acid-jazz group. Louise performed numerous gigs in Pretoria and Johannesburg with the two aforementioned bands in 2003/4.
In 2005 and early 2006 she performed all over London with Liquor Store, an Electronic rock duo. Previously the vocalist and part producer for Devil’s Cartel, she finished recording the final tracks for their debut album Disengage, which was released in 2006.
Currently she’s the mastermind behind Bride Reunion, an electro act, which has an album due for release early 2008. She's currently also performing with The Sick-Leaves

Stop Singing!

Our lovely subject line of the day is what someone screamed at me at the last Devil's Cartel gig.  Haha! Ironically, it was the best gig we've played to date.  The sound was immaculate! ...
