 Domino - England /Japan
DJ Domino is the
first trance female DJ to be recognized all over the world. Her no
holes barred DJ style is full of dynamism and energetic melodies
which she herself trances out on while playing. Born in Worcester,
England in 1972, Dominos exotic appearance is a result of her West
Indian, Chinese and British ancestory and to add to the spice, she
was raised in Goa, India. Goa being a place where people go,
amongst other things, to make, exchange and hear electronic music,
she was naturally influenced at a very young age by all kinds of
bands such as Front 242, Yello, The The, Kraftwork, Nitzer Ebb and
many others. 1995 was Domino's overseas DJ debut in England with
Juno Reactor (Ben Watkins, Mike Maguire, and Paul Jackson). She was
the opening DJ for the event and, would you believe it, still used
her walkman. She got such an amazing feedback from the crowd Juno
decided to include Domino in the tour for the year in England,
France and Greece. During her stay her in Japan Domino also
wanted to give more opportunities and confidence to other female
artists and DJ's in the music scene so she created a new project
with other female organizers involving only female artists, VJ's,
decorators and PA. This S.M.I.L.E. organization has since organized
three all-female events, all of them big successes. A female who was
brought up in the so-called "sacred place of trance music" is now
giving full energy, strength and love to the world. For those of you
who saw Domino play at an event recently like Harukaze in Yoyogi
Park you can see why she is going to be massive.
