With her own words, her raw biography:
On the summer of the year 2006 I'm 31 years old and I'm still little.
When I was a little girl I played journalism with my friends and
with my family I played giving conferences. But, when I was alone,
I entertained myself with non-confessable games. Amongst them, the
imitations in front of the mirror of my most admired personages.
In a chronological order, as far as my memory can remember and until
now I've believed myself to be: Olivia Newton-John, Katherine Hepburn,
Alaska, Lydia Lunch, Siouxsie and Aeon Flux.
As an adolescent I still believed that -aside from my fantasies-
the only world that existed was that of the television news and
the only music the one of the radio Los 40. When I was 15, I discovered
the independent free radios and everything changed. When I was 17,
I already had my own radio program and Joy Division had become my
favourite group. (With permission of Depeche Mode, my head group).
Since then, I've made and collaborated in fanzines, journals, magazines
and televisions. I've directed two magazines (Fiber and Trama).
I've worked in festivals (Festimad, FIB and Experimentaclub). I've
formed a record company (Autoreverse) and a concert promoter (Music
Non-Stop). I've had a group of ephemeral success (Sukiyaki). I've
written stories, plenty of articles and interviews and two musical
monographies (one of them of Depeche Mode).
I am a DJ since 1999, since the moment they let me grab some turntables
in Barcelona. Between 1999 and 2000 I assaulted clubs of the city
with solo performances: Hanging Elena (Mond Bar, Olivia/Benidorm…)
or in a trio with Las Perras (Mond Bar, Mond Club…) waking up the
sexuality of the indies with German techno, eighties techno-pop
revival, synth-pop, cold-wave, euro-pop, trash…
In Madrid the scandal continued with sessions at La Palmera, Nasti,
Barbarella, Tupperware, Luke Soy Tu Padre and Transmission. Sets
with the coldness of the sexy capable of walking from the isolationism
to the EBM...
If you are wondering what I'm going to do for Experimentaclub'06
I'll tell you that I can't satisfy your curiosity completely but
only that I wish to create an atmosphere that won't please the majority,
that will provoke curiosity, indignation and emotion. Some will
dance with the light of the first hour of the afternoon, others
will move as rushes, others will walk by and raise their head. The
electronic will be the mattress of the driving thread ruled by the
mystery and the darkness of the songs. More passages than landscapes
will be narrated and tributes will take place as the closure day
of this very special festival deserves.
