Minx

DJ Minx was inspired to spin at The Music Institute, where some of Detroit's leading dance music DJs helped to hone her skills.

For two years, Minx engineered and hosted "Deep Space Radio," an electronic music show on Detroit's WGPR radio station. She also voluntarily hosted a weekly radio program at the University of Canada on CJAM 91.5 FM called "Steamy Windows," and later became a resident of world-renowned Club Motor in Hamtramck. In 2000, she was a featured performer at the first Detroit Electronic Music Festival, and since then she has played gigs in cities from New York and Toronto, to Berlin and Tokyo.

In December 1996, Minx founded Women on Wax, a collective of female DJs from the Metro Detroit area. From then on, she worked with promoters and DJs across the country to solidify the career of several top female DJs and songstresses.

In 2001, Minx established her own record label called Women On Wax Recordings, which has become a platform for her own productions (including the 2003 classic, "A Walk In The Park") and outlet for local talent. Minx expanded her musical majesty by creating a sub-imprint of the label called W.O.W. B.A.M. (Women On Wax Bangin' Ass Music), and continues to collaborate with, produce on, and remix for a number of labels.

Currently on the Connect Bookings roster, Detroit's "First Lady of Wax" is going strong after nearly three decades of DJing. Minx recently moved her "Queen Beats Radio" weekly show to the new deepspaceradio, and each year she hosts parties during Movement weekend in Detroit. She was recently named one of the "20 Women Who Shaped the History of Dance Music" by Mixmag and one of the "Best house music DJs of all time" by TimeOut New York.

One can only imagine what other paths Minx will explore in the years to come.
