DJ Astrud Sands
Astrud was djing the first time I walked into the Velvet. She played both music that I loved, and a lot of "new-to-me" stuff that I wanted to know more about. (I think she had also fake partnered Pasta to have his alien baby - lol). That's when I knew I'd found one of my very favorite clubs in Second Life. Astrud has played at the Velvet, Mixtape, The Crow, the Winchester, as well as "several private nude parties" - lol. Always engaging the crowd, Astrud's ready with amazing stories, dry wit, and thoughtful, fun sets to share.
It was a special treat to hear her play, by the way, because she's been on an DJ vacation, while working on a real life project. But if you're very lucky, you can catch her singing in the indie disco bathroom at Mixtape (haha).

DJ Katherine Ivory
DJing in SL since January 2008, Katy has played at various clubs including alt7, the Velvet, the Rooftop Club, Debaser, AAI, Flashmans, Gnarled Oak and currently at her cool club, the Nightlight Lounge. Her favorite music genres are indie and alternative, but if you've been to any of Katy's sets, you'll know that she loves all kinds of music, and likes to surprise you with classic rock, electronica or 20's-to-50's favorites -- and that girl does love a theme!
She also worked closely with miki Morigi to make our trip to Forest Feast possible. In case you don't already know, Katy has been a big part of the success of Applecross, so big hugs and kisses to her.

DJ Teo Ghost
Teo has been djing in SL for about a year now. He owns a fun fun club on Phasma called ONe, where every Tuesday, he invites "the cream of indie djs" to participate in a fun theme night - like the recent Fight Club event where Enigma from Bombay (b)Indie challenged Mzdeedee from the Laundromat to a music duel. It was a blast.
Says Teo, "I play regularly at ONe and ALT7, but also do at least one hit and run every week at other clubs or events. Feeding off a space, an idea or a group of people and taking that vibe to the next level is what my dj expression is all about. To me djing is only half about playing music, the other half is the performance and deliverance of the idea or vibe in play and the connecting with the crowd; see and be seen, hear and be heard, amuse and be amused, touch and be touched. And most important, to look cool while doing it." (lol teo)
