Description
125 (fourth Wed/mo.) is built on the premise that mid-tempo electronic music leads a vagabond existence in Seattle, without a shelter to call home. Thus, 125 is committed to furnishing a permanent nest to sophisticated electronic textures that you won't find at regular local club events. The west coast is fertile ground for slower electronic music, with Seattle being the home for many internationally recognized mid-tempo producers, and still we have yet to see consistent events showcasing these sounds.
DJ Miss Shelrawka spins vinyl, combines techno, house and tech-house, which is influenced by indie punk and 80’s electro to tribal rhythms and classic soul.
Combining a diverse range of musical interests with a keen sense of the dance floor's desires, Miss Shelrawka now owns a unique style of funky minimal tech, techno, house and tech-house, influenced by everything from indie punk and 80's electro to tribal rhythms and classic soul. No matter what, the basslines will be saturated with techy sounds and infused with funk.
Miss Shelrawka's mixing is as clean as her track selection is nasty- this DJ spins only vinyl, choosing to stay true to the pure analog sound. Holding her own as she throws down the filth, Miss Shelrawka truly uses the mixer as a tool and creates velvety blends of multi-genre sounds, spanking the decks and delivering unbruised beats that flow out of her fingers like feral freaks. Catch this fresh new face on her way up as she stays busy at nightclubs around the Puget Sound, raining down smooth beats on slick nights and bringing an original vibe to the musical front lines.
From Dave Segal at the Stranger:
"...[Miss Shelrawka] brings an East Coast energy and grittiness to her techno and house mixes. They're also incredibly sexy, featuring much percolating hand percussion; swiveling, loin-engorging bass lines; cooing, groaning,and sighing vocals; and ass-smacking beats ....-a low-slung, funky, tribal strain of minimal techno-with excellent aesthetics and technique...." -- DATA BREAKER 10/2009
