DJ Connie [reSOLUTE/Airdrop/halcyon]
Born and raised in Queens, Connie broke into DJing in 2002, quickly becoming a major contributor to the city’s underground. With a deep fluid mix of forward thinking 4/4 styles and a precise rhythmic sensibility that flows from her alter ego as a thumping rock drummer, Connie is a consistent crowd favorite and a consummate pro who always brings the goods.
Whether it is as resident DJ for Resolute, one of NYC’s hottest roving parties, or in her global travels from Brazil to Barcelona, Connie’s natural talent and tireless dedication to her craft have earned her turns alongside a litany of techno’s most hyped, whom she regularly, but humbly outshines. Riding a stream of milestones that includes a 1st prize showing in the 2006 Village Voice spinoff contest, (landing her a spot at Ultrafest,) a hotly tipped opening slot at the infamous Sunday School For Degenerates event at WMC 2007, and an appearance at Canada’s biggest techno party, Piknic Electronik in 2008, Connie’s profile is steadily on the rise. Never one to rest, Connie uses her own success to inspire other women to enter the male-dominated world of DJing. To date she has privately trained 15 students and in partnership with halcyon, ran “Ladies Night,” a weekly showcase for up-and-coming female DJ talent. In 2009 look out for Connie’s first productions due to drop under the name “conSTAR” for the Boston-based Airdrop imprint.
