DJ Petr@

djpetra.jpg

DJ Petr@ (aka Lady E.C. Lexia) has been DJing for more than 5 years in an underground mixed-gay club called De Trut in Amsterdam, but her real DJ career started in an underground squat in Groningen in the early 80's named ZooZoo (an old police station), where she'd play using a walkman, record player and a mixing panel. In 1998, she started veejaying, as an extension of her career as a visual artist, and had the great opportunity of veejaying at Amsterdam's most notorius club, RoXY. However, she still loves to deejay, preferring to spin at the start of parties, creating a nice warm-up for the other deejays...

Real name?
Petra de Nijs

DJ name?
DJ Petr@

Vinyl junkie or CDs?
Vinyl. But nowadays more and more CDs.

How many records/CDs do you have?
2500 records, 1000 CDs.

What style of music do you play?
Everything. My style is really eclectic... as long as it's funky, groovy, non-commercial, experimental, new...

Where do you DJ?
Everywhere I'm asked. I don't have a resident place where I deejay.

Your ideal DJ gig?
De Trut has always been ideal... Starting at 23.00, the place is packed by 0.00 and I build up a nice set till 03.30. The crowd there are also very open-minded people who can appreciate new stuff and experiments.

Last record/CD you bought?
Last record I bought was Los Jugaderos - The Bario Stress EP ( it's an old record I used to play a lot at the Trut and I found it back on the internet... it's soooo funky I just love it). And last CD I bought was Azam Ali - very special music from a female singer who is originally from Iran but lives in the US.

Current musical obsession?
Ethnic lounge.

Top 3 all-time dancefloor favourites?
Massive Attack - Rising Son (Darren Emerson for Underword Mix)
Paperclip People - Throw
Los Jugaderos

Worst request?
Celine Dion...

Favourite record stores in Amsterdam?
Distortion, Get Records, Concerto, Internet.

Favourite internet radio stations
Hmmm... different ones for different programs: Radio 100, plus some ethnic-orientated radio stations on my kitchen radio...
