[scribe]

Heavy Hong Kong brings you another dope act

Dj Siesta (Phreaktion/Shanghai)


Bonafide Queen of China Drum and Bass

Dubbed the “Queen of Drum’n’Bass” in China; Siesta’s passion for collecting records dated back in 1999, when she started out as the only promoter putting on a series of world-class drum’n’bass parties in HK.

The rise of drum'n'bass in Shanghai is evident, and her collective "PHREAKTION" plays a crucial part of making it happen. “PHREAKTION” was set up in the summer of 1999 in Hong Kong, and Siesta brought it with her to Shanghai in late 2005 and since then, she has brought most of the world’s drum'n'bass icons to China, including Andy C, Roni Size, Goldie, Fabio, Marky, Pendulum, Scratch Perverts, LTJ Bukem, London Elektricity, just to name a few. In just 5 years, Siesta has successfully put Shanghai on the international drum’n’bass map, hosting more than 60 world-class drum’n’bass nights, as well as earning herself the reputation of being one of the best DJs in China.

2008 sees Siesta reach yet another pinnacle moment in her DJ career when she was invited to attend the Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona, making her the first person to represent China. She made her release “Long Night” with DJ Zinc, and invited long time friend and dnb MC icon Stamina to perform on the track. She has played everywhere in the world including Seoul, London, Brighton, Barcelona, Madrid, Tokyo and Bangkok in the last two years and continues to be the ultimate drum’n’bass ambassador for China and female DJs.

In 2009 she started a new Phreaktion offshoot called “WONKY KONG”, aiming to promote the new sound called “UK BASS”. Like dnb and dubstep, Siesta was always the first to bring out internationally acclaimed artist who are on the forefront of the music scene including Kode 9, Drop The Lime, DJ Zinc, MJ Cole and Jack Beats.


从香港崛起的Siesta至今仍被称为当地Drum’n​’Bass女皇。1999年的时候，是香港唯一一个推动​Drum’n’Bass派对的人。在99-02年之间举​办了超过35场大大小小的鼓打贝斯活动。在小休9个月后​，2002年底她再以Phreaktion的名义重新出​发，并开始成为其驻场DJ，以一位相对年轻的DJ，DJ​ Siesta凭其对鼓打贝斯音乐的熟知及场地气氛酝酿的​把握，很快地成为香港家喻户晓的DJ。

2005年底Siesta将她的热情带入上海，在短短1​年后便使得鼓打贝斯音乐由地下冒出，成为上海club scene里不可或缺的一种音乐形式，而Phreakt​ion现在更成为上海主要的派对主办单位之一。人们在每​个月都可以在主要的派对场所中看到Siesta的踪影，​将派对舞池的气氛炒得热翻天。纯熟和迅速的打碟技巧使得​她毫无疑问的成为上海最重要DJ之一。

展望2011年，Siesta不仅在上海几个盛名远播的​夜店如Shelter庇护所和Dada，国内大型音乐盛​会迷迪等大小不同活动中演出，每周三在网络电台UDAN​CE主持直播节目，还在积极为中国第一个纯电音的音乐节​，及个人第一场欧洲巡回演出做准备，迈向世界舞台！
