The fifth and sixth of July this summer will see theBasement collaborate together with La Darsen\u00e1 hosting one of the most anticipated electronic events<\/a><\/span> the world stage has to offer, featuring not only your local house selectors theBasement Soundsystem and the prominent Swedish powerhouses\u00a0that make up Studio Barnhus, but also two formidable female electronic DJ’s, bringing a whole new dimension to the event, and hitting the stage with an unforgettable B2B set. Those two Dj’s are Steffi and Virginia.<\/p>\n With a\u00a0musical production interest blossoming in 2002, Steffi saw that after some time creating sounds from her house in the Netherlands that the her arsenal of\u00a0production skills could take her to the next level in\u00a0the musical world. After a period of playing in her hometown and leaving her mark there, she then decided to move in 2007, and\u00a0quickly becoming the global epicentre\u00a0of electronic music, Berlin was\u00a0to be the city which welcomed her with loving arms.<\/p>\n She quickly entered\u00a0the limelight of Berlin’s electronic scene and held a residency at Panorama Bar in Germany’s famed Berghain club, creating herself a status of not only an expert\u00a0within production, but also behind the decks at the most\u00a0revered club in the world. With that said, Steffi holds a unique position in the world of electronic music, one which looks further afield than playing before thousands at packed-out stages, but extends in work as a sedulous producer that makes this dutch woman the genius she is. To date, she has released six\u00a0albums, two of which on Berghain-owned label Ostgut Ton, as well as releases on Permanent Vacation and Underground Quality, not to mention the ownership of her three labels, Klakson, Dolly and Dolly Dubs, which have resumed to show her ballsy, genre-defying eclecticism as she looks to take her musical career to the next level.<\/p>\n Steffi runs her three aforementioned labels alone, and with a non-promo policy, she has neither press nor\u00a0advertising for any of the tracks released describing\u00a0the music\u00a0as \u00abjust for the lovers….they know the product will be in [local] record shops in two weeks\u00bb.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t lose control of cooking in my own kitchen!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Her impressive home-studio in Berlin is what many would call the perfect set-up, and with a bounty of synthesisers from the 80’s and 90’s, as well the hard-to-acquire Japanese drum synth Ult Sound DS-4, it is clear to see that this armoury\u00a0helps to make a growing discography of warm, classic-inspired hardware-enriched records, complimenting this dutch virtuosos erudition.<\/p>\n Steffi is flying the flag from her home in Berlin, and playing alongside the likes of\u00a0New Jerseyan celebrity Kerri Chandler<\/a><\/span>\u00a0this summer,\u00a0as well as previous releases on her labels from the likes of\u00a0Boddika<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0\u00a0Dexter<\/a><\/span>, one need not too much detail to boast this dutch women’s prowess.<\/p>\n Yours & Mine, Steffi’s debut album proliferated her career in 2011, providing her a springboard to experiment with not only a plethora of different sounds, but also of genres. Despite being known for her ecstatic sets and ability to mix most genres together and make it sound like the two were made to be played together, this debut album is very much one of Deep House, and this is where it all started for young Steffi. On the album features DJ, producer and Vocalist Virginia, providing a sensual and bass-driven sultry vocal on \u00abYou Own My Mind\u00bb that nicely underlines the album’s strengths as well \u00abYours\u00bb\u00a0prevailing\u00a0dance floors for some time with it’s hypnotic brand of techno.<\/p>\nSteffi<\/strong><\/h3>\n
