Pasiphae

Biografía
- Pleasantly unpredictable as her sets & productions are, they often explore different mixtures of intensity. Pasiphae has broad tastes and more often than not her sets brilliantly join the dots between styles in an energetic, forthright manner.For decades, the West Coast of the Netherlands has played host to a thriving community of DJs and producers renowned for their no-nonsense approach to underground electronic music. It’s within this world-renowned community that you’ll find Pasiphae, a rising star who combines an energetic, open-minded approach to DJing with a similarly personal approach to music making. Now in-demand as a DJ across the world thanks to a distinctive, dancefloor-focused style that prioritizes surprise selections, unpredictable stylistic switches and driving grooves, Pasiphae first made her mark locally, and then internationally, as a producer. She began acquiring “cheap second-hand synthesizers, drum machines and effects pedals” soon after she moved to the Netherlands from Greece in January 2013 – a spontaneous move driven by a burning desire to immerse herself in the underground electronic music culture she’s loved since her formative years. Remarkably, Pasiphae was only “five or six years old” when her eldest cousin first played her tapes of vintage techno, electro, acid and trance. These early experiences instilled a life-long love of listening and dancing to underground electronic music, a passion that just grew stronger with each hour spent tuned in to pirate radio stations that played spaced-out 1970s electronics and early Italo-disco. Those styles and many more – most notably EBM and new beat – naturally inspired Pasiphae’s early productions, including her now celebrated 2016 debut alongside West Coast legend Intergalactic Gary on Biorhythm. They were explored, too, during regular sessions on Internet radio stations such as Intergalactic FM (a station she still holds a monthly residency on) and, from early 2017, an increasing number of club sets inspired by a desire to please the most dedicated dancers. Pasiphae’s rise over the last three years has been remarkable. Alongside a celebrated solo debut EP on Interstellar Funk’s Artificial Dance label & her Possessed Realms released on the heavyweight that Pinkman record label is, there have been appearances behind the decks of such celebrated clubs and festivals as Tresor and Sameheads in Berlin, De School, BAR, The Crave and Intergalactic FM Festival in The Hague, the Dekmantel festivals, D.O.G.S Milan, Kaiku in Helsinki, DYN Mexico City, Good Room in New York & the Private Selection warehouse rave in Los Angeles to name a few. By her own admission, it can be difficult to pin down her DJ sets and productions. They're pleasantly unpredictable & often exploring different mixtures of intensity. Pasiphae has broad tastes and more often than not her sets brilliantly join the dots between styles in an energetic, forthright manner inspired by her own love of dancing all night. The music she mixes is sometimes raw, dark and percussive & synth-heavy, at other times spaced-out, colorful & euphoric. Throughout, you can expect sweaty thrills aplenty and bags of rhythmic energy.̸https://www.discogs.com/artist/5374854-Pasiphae
