Biografie
Eva started DJing in the now cult rollerdisco called 'het Nijlpaardenhuis" in Amsterdam with DJ legends Dov Elkabas, now known as the Prophet and the mysterious Orlando Voorn who had a huge role in shaping Techno music in its very early years.
When she discovered what was know as "Housemusic" in 1990, she immediately fell in love with it and her natural talent for beat mixing made it a perfect match. She played her first party in the notorious TomTomClub, one of the earliest house parties of Amsterdam.
Soon many parties followed and she was playing every weekend. She was a regular at parties like DJ Per's TimeMachine, the Mazzo, Immortality parties in Sporthallenzuid. In a major move, she became the Resident DJ of the VIP Club in Paradiso, for which she later produced her first mix CD.
Using her early training as a Musician, she produced a few records too, mainly for the French underground label called "Pinguins Music".
From the Amsterdam scene she rose to International prominence, playing major events such as DanceValley, Mysteryland, Hultsfred in Sweden, Rennaisance in England, Musikmesse in Cologne and Boréalis in France. But also clubs like Ministry of Sound in London, the Rex in Paris, Nighttown in Rotterdam and many more in Israel, Turkey, Spain, etc...
She headlined alongside top DJs such as Carlo Cox, Ritchie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Dimitri, or Jeff Mills and bands like The Orb, Underworld, Daft Punk, Orbital, Chemical Brothers and Bandulu.
In 2001 she stopped DJing to focus on other things in life but never stopped making music. She released remixes for the French band "aswefall" and for the German/American band "Feeding Fingers" who included her remix in their new album.
