About Me

Kristina Childs is one of the hardest working DJs in the Northwest. As well as being a guest DJ at nearly every club in Seattle, Kristina has performed in Frankfurt, Bogotá, Medellin and various major US cities, sharing the stage with such notable artists as John Tejada, Joel Mull, Dan Bell, Speedy J, Thomas Fehlmann, Alex Under, Kevin Saunderson and Alex Smoke (to name a few). She has held over 8 residencies since picking up her first record in 1999. In August of 2007 she won the title of Battle of the Mega-Mixes champion.
Currently, Childs is a resident of Krakt , runs Plasmodium and as a founding director, played an integral role in building Seattle's famous Decibel Festival . Her diligence in the Seattle scene has made her a popular Northwest DJ, combining excellent track selection and mixing skill with the energy and charisma it takes behind the decks to get dancefloors moving.
Childs is known primarily as a techno DJ, however you can hear her play everything from ambient to hip-hop, electro, disco, 80's or funk, depending on the venue. During the day you will find her neck-deep in graphic design, web design & print production for clients like Mackie, Backline Media, Publicis West and Laptop Battle.

New Mix Download Krakt August 11, 2007
My DJ set from the August 2007 edition of KRAKT in Seattle, WA. It's bouncy minimal, tech-house and KRAKT brand "techno with teeth."

Mix 1 Download Decibel 2006
A 25 minute snippet of my set at the 2006 Decibel Festival, recorded by camcorder microphone so the qualilty is low. None of the afterhours sets were recorded so I was lucky to find this one, even if it is only 25 minutes. I love it, though, because you can hear the crowd screaming. That's awesome.
No Track listing. It's peak hour techno :)

Mix 2 Download Kickoff of Plasmodium Radio v2
This mix is mellow - hip hop, downtempo and mimimal bassy stuff. Track listing on kristinachilds.com

Mix 3 Download Plasmodium Radio April 2006
An hour long movement through the 80's - pop, electropop, industrial & acid house. Starts wtih Talking Heads and ends with Adonis & Pepe Le Peu. There's some new stuff in there, too - LCD Soundsystem & Soft Pink Truth. Track listing on kristinachilds.com

Mix 4 Download Krakt January 2007
Opening set for the January edition of Krakt. Track listing will come later. Music is dark, gritty techno and... um... electro-tech? tech-house? I dont know what to call it, but it's definately not minimal.

Mix 5 Download Juliet Cant Dance
A 2001 DJ mix of deep & melodic tech-house. Goes through some different phases, there's funky stuff in there, too. Track listing on kristinachilds.com
