Heidi
Heidi grew up in Windsor, Ontario in Canada. Coming from a family of music lovers, the house was always filled with a variety of classic rock, blues and folk throughout her childhood.
Originally an indie kid, she started travelling to gigs in Detroit as soon as she could. The music scenes of the Motor City and Chicago left a deep impression on Heidi and her record collection. Influenced by her electronic producing friends in Windsor, she developed a love for techno and house music.
Moving to England for a year in 1997, her eyes were opened even wider to the joys of underground dance music. She moved to London permanently in 2000 to immerse herself in the music scene, clubbing every weekend and hanging out in record shops.
In 2002 Heidi got a job working at the now defunct Koobla records, and in 2003 was part of the team that opened up London's foremost record shop, Phonica. Through her work she gained invaluable experience of the scene and underground culture. Her excellent DJ and artist contacts soon led her from vinyl fanatic to budding DJ. She'd been putting together sets for many of the countries top DJs, so it was a natural progression for her.
In 2004 she met Patrick Bodmer and Phillip Jung otherwise know as the German electronic duo M.A.N.D.Y. They became great friends and it soon lead to gigs together in Berlin where it really started to take off for her.
In 2005 Heidi started playing all over Europe and Russia with regular visits to Italy, Spain and France and Germany - she plays regularly in Berlin at the Panorama Bar and Watergate Club aswell as The Monza Club in Frankfurt - and she also holds a residency in Ibiza. She also became a regular at Fabric, London's leading underground dance club.
In 2006 Heidi, with her partner Riton, released "Vejer" on Get Physical receiving rave reviews. She was building her skills and gaining experience for 2007 which was her busiest year to date - playing all over the world and in a different country every weekend.
She rocked in Miami at the WMC and then spending 5 years on the Get Physical European tour which saw her playing alongside Bookashade, M.A.N.D.Y, DJ. T and the rest of the gang, releasing another track with Riton "To The Gum" a slice of filthy Chicago influenced house, for the compilation which accompanied the tour.
A hard working DJ who loves her job and wouldn't change anything for the world, keep a close eye on this lady.
