THE GENESIS
Although an avid fan of the San Francisco underground rave scene since 1991, it wasn't until her attendance at a highly overcrowded event in 1998 that Dina Lammon found herself trapped in front of a team of battling DJs. For the first time, she witnessed the way a DJ could use music and machine to manipulate flesh. It was an eye opening experience and the event filled her with a sense of musical rapture and a new life path was revealed.
THE EVOLUTION
Since that fateful night, Dragn'fly has evolved into one of the most highly demanded and respected DJs in the western United States. A classically trained musician since the age of 8, it didn't take long for Dragn'fly to gain a solid feel of the decks and within a few months she was performing in front of hundreds of raging fans alongside SF-legend, Astral Matrix. The experience was hailed as an unforgettable one by the hundreds of raging fans in attendance and it marked a turning point in the career path of our heroine. Today Dragn'fly has a performance history that boasts over 1,000 major events throughout the United States, including Hawaii, and internationally in Mexico, Germany and Brazil.
THE ESSENCE
Known as a true "journey DJ", Dragn'fly possesses an uncanny ability to read into the desires of the crowd and the diversity of each set performed has provided Dragn'fly with the opportunity to headline countless events. When not headlining under her own accord, Dragn'fly acts as the strategic support for many event coordinators worldwide as a key transitional DJ, opening or closing sets for the worlds most-widely popular and renowned electronic music artists.Dragn'fly incorporates an "aggressive-as-hell" mixing style with the elements of funky electro, tech-trance and breaks; a combination that has earned her a style that is uniquely hers. Her performances repeatedly showcase a near frenzy of sound manipulation while she tweaks her EQ's and shreds her vinyl, watching as her dancers rise and fall to ecstatic pieces on the dance floor.
THE IMMINENCE
Having been made the object of several print and web zines, Dragn'fly went on to infiltrate Hollywood in 2004 as a featured artist for Higher Decibel, a television show that highlighted some of the world's most distinguished DJs of the time. Throughout the years, Dragn'fly has held residencies with such esteemed productions crews as Shaolin of Sacramento, California, Audio Metamorphosis of San Francisco, California and Lovetribe of Seattle, Washington and currently she resides on the rosters of both GSP of Dayton, Ohio and DJ4NORML as an official representative for the nationally known and politically active institution known as NORML based out of Washington, D.C. On the local scene, she has appeared numerous times at such Bay Area nightspots as 177 Townsend, 1015 Folsom, the DNA Lounge, Mezzanine, and Paradise Lounge - and has repeatedly made headlining appearances at Qool Saturdays and the Looq Happy Hour hosted by one of America's top progressive record labels, Looq Records.
And if over 1,000 live appearances weren't enough, Dragn'fly has found the time to release over 12 promotional mix CDs - most of them live, unedited recordings from featured events. Accordingly, one of her CDs, Dragn'fly presents Legacy of Kain, was released privately in 2001 by computer-gaming giant Eidos Interactive Having made its debut at the official Soul Reaver 2 / Blood Omen 2 event, sponsored by Sony, this mix went on to gain worldwide attention and earned Dragn'fly a devoted fan base spanning the globe.It's hard to say what the future will bring, but one thing is certain: the sound of Dragn'fly is destined to be an instrumental force in helping to bring electronic dance music to a new level.
