First up ; [Miss Elorak] 🥳🔥😍

————————————————

Miss Elorak was born on the third of May 1973, from a father fascinated by music. She grew up in a post-modern environment, and from childhood onwards, she became attached to the electronic music produced in those days…

In 1993, she met Popane, Little-Pat and D-Jack (D-Jacking-Zone), with whom she lived for some time. D-Jack pushed her, and under his impulse, she started mixing acid and aggressive techno, while receiving numerous decorations for events like « Rave Explosion » or « Subground Teknology ». One year later, she organized her first party, Electronik-Dependence, where she met the top of the Belgian techno scene behind the turntables ; Deg, Sebastian-S, Psychogene…

In 1995, Miss Elorak started her career « on the air » ; hosting « Salz », a weekly broadcast on Radio Crystal in Brussels (106.5 FM), in which she exclusively presented German, Australian, Japanese and Russian promos. After hosting that show for a whole year, she started playing her own style in their « Gum » broadcast.

In 1997 she got fed up with the binary style of techno and tasted the dark flavors of Drum and Bass. From that moment on, she was playing all over Belgium non-stop.

In june 1997, Miss Elorak, Kate and Popane gave birth to the Pussiestraxes Crew, which immediately got them a residency at a club in Brussels every Wednesday. It was only the beginning, since the Pussiestraxes started organizing their own parties on a monthly basis, achieving commercial success and gaining respect in the scene…

Miss Elorak’s collaborations were not limited to her crew, she played everywhere in Europe, but it still wasn’t enough.

So she opened a Records store in the center of Brussels called StressDaBass, which sold only electronic music, but after a few years and the fall of the vinyl industry, she had to close shop.

In 2017, she took a long break because her boyfriend Touki (from 72 Records/Belgian Waffle) and her were welcoming a little baby boy.

Miss Elorak lives in Luxembourg now, but since she missed mixing music in front of crowds too much, she’s back behind the turntables to play the music she likes the most.

Miss Elorak loves to play many different styles of music, and at this event she will focus on Drum & Bass, representing many of the flavours it has to offer !

————————————————

Miss Elorak est née le 3 mai 1973, d’un père passionné de musique. Elle grandit dans un environnement post-moderne et s’attache dès l’enfance à la musique électronique produite à cette époque…

En 1993, elle rencontre Popane, Little-Pat et D-Jack (D-Jacking-Zone), avec qui elle vit quelque temps. D-Jack la pousse, et sous son impulsion, elle commence à mixer de la techno acide et agressive, et obtient de nombreuses décorations pour des événements comme “Rave Explosion” ou “Subground Teknology”. Un an plus tard, elle organise sa première soirée ; Electronik-Dependence, où elle rencontre le gratin de la scène techno belge derrière les platines ; Deg, Sebastian-S, Psychogene…

En 1995, Miss Elorak commence sa carrière “sur les ondes” en animant “Salz”, une émission hebdomadaire sur Radio Crystal à Bruxelles (106.5 FM), dans laquelle elle présente exclusivement des promos allemandes, australiennes, japonaises et russes. Après avoir animé cette émission pendant une année entière, elle commence à jouer son propre style dans l’émission “Gum”.

En 1997, gavée par la binarité de la techno, elle goûte aux saveurs sombres de la Drum and Bass. À partir de ce moment, elle se produit dans toute la Belgique sans discontinuer.

En juin 1997, Miss Elorak, Kate et Popane donnent naissance au Pussiestraxes Crew, ce qui leur vaut immédiatement une résidence dans un club bruxellois tous les mercredis. Ce n’était que le début, puisque les Pussiestraxes ont commencé à organiser leurs propres soirées sur une base mensuelle, obtenant un succès commercial et gagnant le respect de la scène…

Les collaborations de Miss Elorak ne se limitaient pas à son crew, elle jouait partout en Europe, mais ce n’était toujours pas suffisant.

Elle a donc ouvert un magasin de disques dans le centre de Bruxelles appelé StressDaBass, qui ne vendait que de la musique électronique, mais après quelques années et la chute de l’industrie du vinyle, elle a dû fermer boutique.

En 2017, elle a fait une longue pause car son petit ami Touki (de 72 Records/Belgian Waffle) et elle accueillaient un petit garçon.

Miss Elorak vit désormais au Luxembourg, mais comme mixer de la musique devant des foules lui manquait trop, elle est de retour derrière les platines pour jouer la musique qu’elle aime le plus.

Miss Elorak aime jouer de nombreux styles de musique différents, et lors de cet événement, elle se concentrera sur la Drum & Bass, représentant les nombreuses saveurs qu’elle a à offrir !

————————————————

Miss Elorak werd op 3 mei 1973 geboren uit een vader die gefascineerd was door muziek. Ze groeit op in een postmoderne omgeving en wordt van jongs af gehecht aan de elektronische muziek die in die tijd werdt geproduceerd…

In 1993 ontmoette ze Popane, Little-Pat en D-Jack (D-Jacking-Zone), met wie ze enige tijd samenleefde. D-Jack pusht haar, en onder zijn impuls begint ze acid en agressieve techno te mixen, en krijgt meerdere decoraties voor evenementen zoals ” Rave Explosion ” of ” Subground Teknology “. Een jaar later organiseert ze haar eerste party, Electronik-Dependence, waar ze de top van de Belgische techno scene achter de draaitafels ontmoette ; Deg, Sebastian-S, Psychogene…

In 1995 begon Miss Elorak haar carrière “on the air” ; ze was gastvrouw van “Salz”, een wekelijkse uitzending op Radio Crystal in Brussel (106.5 FM), waarin ze uitsluitend Duitse, Australische, Japanse en Russische promo’s presenteerde. Nadat ze die show een jaar lang had verzorgd, begon ze haar eigen stijl te spelen in hun “Gum” uitzending.

In 1997 kreeg ze genoeg van de binaire stijl van techno en proefde ze de donkere smaken van Drum and Bass. Vanaf dat moment speelde ze non-stop in heel België.

In juni 1997 richtten Miss Elorak, Kate en Popane de Pussiestraxes Crew op, wat hen onmiddellijk een residentie opleverde in een club in Brussel, elke woensdag. Dat was nog maar het begin, want de Pussiestraxes begonnen maandelijks hun eigen feestjes te organiseren, waarmee ze commercieel succes boekten en respect afdwongen in de scene…

De samenwerkingen van Miss Elorak bleven niet beperkt tot haar crew, ze speelde overal in Europa, maar het was nog steeds niet genoeg.

Dus opende ze een platenzaak in het centrum van Brussel genaamd StressDaBass, die alleen elektronische muziek verkocht, maar na een paar jaar en de val van de vinylindustrie moest ze de winkel sluiten.

In 2017 nam ze een lange pauze omdat haar vriend Touki (van 72 Records/Belgian Waffle) en zij een zoontje kregen.

Miss Elorak woont nu in Luxemburg, maar omdat ze het mixen van muziek voor publiek te veel miste, staat ze weer achter de draaitafels om de muziek te draaien waar ze het meest van houdt.

Miss Elorak houdt ervan om veel verschillende muziekstijlen te draaien, en op dit evenement zal ze zich richten op Drum & Bass, om de vele smaken ervan te vertegenwoordigen!
