Artist Biography
Wanted: DJ Val Keerie
For repeated loud outbreaks to the sonic legislation, multiples sound systems affiliations, contribution to subversive music propaganda
Trained in free parties and teknivals. First outburst in France amongst sound systems Technocrates, Furious and friends (Kamikaze) during mystical international combinations such as the Portugal tour (1997), Eastern countries tour (1998 and 1999).
After years of hard-techno influence, she escapes the 4/4 brainwash and its speeded-up linear bleeps and leaves France in a quest for new breaks.
In the derelict surroundings of South London, she soon catches up with new partners in crime in the likes of Hekate sound system or KDU, though extensive party networking and collaborations on projects such as Datacide or Hypertunez.
Tacked in the dark edge of the Dead Silence Syndicate for a while, and lost in an even darker Parisian network, she remains yet uncaught.

It was all good. In the middle of bumfuck, the boys started their little tour of France. What a nice idea. There were saussages, bier garden and bier of course.
All u need for a great night, such a shame the boys had to shift directly to Toulouse for another gig the day after.
Missed their sets on their return to Paris, for we were organising the Aigue Marine event, with the Girls at work in a squatted bank.
Just had time to share a quick bottle of whisky before they went back home.
Come again boys!

OOOOOOh it was a hot night. having to run from one room to the other not to miss anyone.
after i secured my after-set ganja supply, i had to hurry to get ready for my set. two wings later, just in time to hear a few notes of marco2 set.
my set went fine as people slowly started to arrive. in the machinery flashing in red letters in my back, electro in da place. i was happy to get a little boogee from si begg...heheh.
In our room, spidokter ries then heated the dancefloor. anton s robot was raving like mad, so madly it died dancing. mind u that s a nice death.
I was gutted to miss subliminal criminal s set cos he were playin at the same time. but i saw the videos and know what i missed.
And then there was si begg that really blow my head off and got me doing crazin moves again. suili was screamin her head of. he is one of her favorite i know. heavy and well groovy. full of energy
He passed on too radiactive man for an electro session. radioactive aint he?
In the other audio illusion ben was rockin the dancefloor with his vocoded voice rolling in our hears and feet.
And while 69db was breaking up his dancefloor, lory d spreaded his heavy atmosphere and acid sounds to an assounded audience. would have like it a little harder and a little more of beat but liked it anyway.
oh chris and suili, thanks for having me there!
