MICHELE SAINTE

There's nothing for me here now.

About Me

THE SAINTE IS STILL HERE. :) I'm also at: myspace.com/thesainte...drum&bass d.j. / producer (unsigned) and inventor of the term electro-step. "MICHELE SAINTE, The first lady of American Jungle/D&B, not to mention the first female to drop the real upfront and aggressive sounds, back then known as TECHSTEP!" -Christian Bruna /// "Michele is widely regarded as one of the States' premiere female drumandbass djs" -Dieselboy /// "Holding her own in a male-dominated profession" -Project X Magazine (1995) -------------------------- Background: Michele began doing the club / rave circuits in 1990, playing hard acidic techno, later incorporating breakbeat into her sets, and eventually focusing entirely on drum&bass. Going back even more, she learned to read and write music as a child and can play flute, piano, bass quitar, and drums. With a love of alternative / electronic music since the '70s, she eventually acquired her lifetime F.C.C. permit whilst still in school ('86) and began doing radio (...Eventually creating "Bassquake" [103.3, WPRB], the U.S.'s first drum&bass program to air on a class one / commercial station). In 1998 she released her first drum&bass mix, the highly acclaimed "Fluid Sessions", recorded live at Fluid in Philadelphia. ..
