DJ Aroma
Style
What is sexy minimalhouse ? Take a groovin bassline,
some bass, a snaredrum and eventually a glitchy 16th
for the tasty groove, then you add some excelent mixing
skills from a hiphop background and you got the flavour
of DJ Aroma .While playing she always adds little funky
appetizers, pieces that you might have heard before,
but its not just a remix - its always fresh and its
always live and its always something that you haven't
heard before.Its groovy, dry, funky and melodic without
being cheesy.
Locations
DJane Aroma has been a part of the international DJ
Circus since the ninties, serving tasty DJ Sets to enthusiastic
audiences. Countries that were aromatized are Russia,
Bellarus, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Estonia, Spain,
Hungary, Poland,Portugal, Phillipines, England, Sweden
etc. Her resident locations were always the place to
be at the time e.g. Munich based Ultraschall Club or
the Berlin based Ostgut (todays Berghain/Panoramabar).
Since a while she is a part of the clubfamily in Berlins new
underground location of today, spinning regular dates at Ritterbutzke.
Production and Live
As a producer she produces her own tracks in her studio,
not asking somebody elso to do it for her like a lot
of DJs do. Sometimes she does gigs as a live pa with
her producer name Discopunk that is also getting more
and more recognized. She played some huge festivals
such as the fusion festival (4times), sommersafari,
summer spirit and swedens legendary norberg festival.
Technical Details
DJ Aroma spins with laptop using NI`s Traktor Scratch.
She loves machines from her studio work. She`s also
a technichal writer and therefore always challenging
herself to create new ways of using stuff. If you think
that laptops have no right to enter clubs because they
are boring nerd tools, you haven't heard or seen aroma
playing on one or sometimes two....
What people say about DJ Aroma
Some of her productions were quite big, like the 1998
released intellectual anfibia on the english based haunebu
label which was the number one of the italia network
radio charts for weeks or a track called goofy which
was charted by DJs like John Aquaviva or a remix for
Joseph Armani and Jan Francisco on swedish Joya/Nero
that got recognition likewise and made into the charts of
Eric Prydz. In 2009 she was on the Itunes Top 100 for weeks
with a track called "miss the point".
She released several compilations, one full
length artist album, many single tracks and over 16 Eps within the last
decade. And, one thing she is very proud of, she was
never mentioned as a female artist but as a serious
producer, an honour which will hardly happen to topless
bunnies in the DJ world.
Aromamusic Label
She runs a berlin based electronica label called aromamusic.
Aromamusic offers a wide range of contemporary clubmusic
with over 50 releases so far. Artists include Sven Wegner,
Gianni Vitiello or Jacob Suske. Aromamusic is famous
for being a media plattform, a theory plattform, a label
and a place for parties. From conferences on the future
of music (musicahead in 2004), workshops, artist exchanges
supported by goethe institute (stockholm_berlin in 2008)
to minfestivals like the release of the 50th aromamusic
record with gebrüder teichmann and such in nov
2008, this label combines minimal techno with a lot
of influences of house and electronica. Publishing in
the sense of aromamusic can be an event, the internet
or even physical stuff like cds and records or even
books in the near future. Through its artistic approach
aromamusic is always good for music which is ahead of
the time and always surprising.
DJ Attitudes
Aroma is a DJ with an issue and a philosophy. She loves
to ask questions since she is a also a researcher in
the field of cultural anthropology, still, she loves
happy people, dancing and smiling in a crowd that becomes
one. But she does not use cheap means to create this
feeling. She dislikes functional music, she is
a real artist creating a mood a flavoured vibe. Its like cooking
a five star luxury dinner for your ears. Her audience loves
this, just like coming back to your favourite resturant, where the
meal is always somehow better than at home. This skill makes her special.
. Her
audience loves her for being a tough cookie. She was
voted among the best 50 international DJs by german
Tendance Music Magazine. Aroma loves what she is doing
and therefore gets the respect she really deserves.
