My interests include spinning records, spinning fire (poi), dancing, breakdancing, surfing, spinning records, training animals, psychology, horseback riding, travel, video games (QUAKE III, fighting games, 3D sidescrollers, roleplaying games, adventure games, technical games...Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider, Tekken, ZOOCUBE) and outdoors-y stuff...I still maintain my femininity (I shave!) I also like to spin records. Not too fond of Patchouli oil, R'n'B, red beets, dill, Bush, and other people who lack brains, integrity, and personality. Call me a dork, but I actually enjoy receiving education. I like a lot of my psychology classes, especially social psychology. Did I mention spinning records already?
Music
.. ..
My favorite genre of music is drum n' bass, although I also spin house, techno, and NRG. I prefer dark, fast, jump-up-py, tech-steppy, amen vs. apache jungly type music with neuro-funky basslines. I like the dark, choppy stuff, too... One of my favorite producers right now is Noisia. I like breaks because they're fun to dance to. I enjoy some good Hardcore once in a while...in small doses. I like deep, funky house, too. I don't like too many vocals in my music and I don't like gay trancy stuff, although I do like dark trance and techno. Bottom line: fast, dark or funky, and bouncy: end of story. I like some types of hip-hop...but it's not my favorite. I really like Jedi Mind Tricks, The Roots, Mental Sharp, and Pharcyde. I really don't like R'n'B. Some other music groups that rock the hizzy are Rage Against the Machine, Korn, System of a Down, Static X, Sublime, BEASTIE BOYS!!!! Some artists that I really enjoy (not in any particular order) are: Dara, Hive, Gridlok, Echo, Alder, Jayvon, Bicolas, Bucwheeshio, AK 1200, Kazpa, Sandra Collins, Reid Speed, DJ Swamp, Dieselboy, DJ Heather, Archangel, XXXL, Hazen, DJ Craze, Andy C, RAW, Ron D Core, B-Key, JuJu, Kemal, Keaton, Mampi Swift, Marcus Intalex, Pendulum, Kevin Yost, Nightstalker, XYZ, Muffler, Baron, Fresh, Roni Size, Klute, Silent Witness, Break, Rob Data, Hochi, Concord Dawn, Vicious Circle, Trench, Frontal Assault, Pope, Maze, Scooba, Clutch, Miyuki, Subflo, APX-1, Skynet, Logistics, Counterstrike, The Menace, Mythrill, Shook, RFX, Nu:tone, Visionary, Gamet, Paleface, Ry'o, Indentation, Tez, MK Ultra, N*tro, The One, Breed, Machete, Drone, Rebel Lion, Shawn Liu, Pacolypse, Mixtress, E.P.O.D., Probable Cause, Wallcrawler, Skyler Mic, Delano, Deco Comprehension, Priest, Philly B., Shadow Spirit, Kyzersoze, Dip Vertigo, Lynk, Kid Logic, AdamAntium, Messinian, Renegade, Prophet, Total Science, Roni Size, World Renowned, Peacemaker, Jason, Circuit, Aero, AMC, Whizard, Dregen, Soulidify, Havok, Timebomb, Veda, Fluid, Jyro, Dirty Deeds, Toxic, Limewax, SPL, Spor, Ewun, Infiltrata, Carl Cox, SDF-1, Eva, Paul van Dyk, Jo-S, Deacon, Dylan, Unknown Error, Andy C, Ed Rush and Optical, Calyx, Silver, Psidream, Mayhem, Spirit, Ink, Digital, Loxy, Gremlinz, Chase and Status, Demo, Cease, Q-Bert, Evol Intent, Shy FX, Capital J, TC, Faust and Shortee, Photek, Kemst, MC Dino, A-Tak, Jackal, CRS?, Raiden, Subfocus, TeeBee, Commix, Cyantific, Mark Farina, Donald Glaude, Doc Martin, Digweed, Sasha, Prolix, Nocturnal, Chris Renegade, and I'm sure there's lots of other good ones I inadvertently left out!

BIO:
DJ Daemia has been dropping beats since June of 2003. She specializes in drum and bass ranging from liquid funk to hard amens and everything in between, including dancefloor bangers, neurofunk, and dark and heavy rollers. Her ecclectic taste in music is apparent in genres outside of drum n' bass as well. Daemia also spins house, breaks, techno, dubstep, and electro house. She has played in Arizona, Poland, Mexico, and all over California at events featuring some of DNB and electronica's finest dj's, producers and MC's, including Digital, Dieselboy, Dara, AK1200, J Messinian, Skynet, Baron, J Majik, LTJ Bukem, Psidream, Counterstrike, Concord Dawn, Deacon, Demo, Infiltrata, Edit of Glitch Mob, DJ Swamp, Reid Speed, DJ Shortee, Robyn Chaos, R.A.W., Dylan, MC Tali, Hive, Twisted Individual, Jayvon, Alder, Gein, Origin, DJ Trance, Sage, Roxanne, DRC, Barry Weaver, Keith MacKenzie, and numerous other local heavy hitters from LA, OC, and SD.
She currently works at United Records in San Diego, staying on top of and ordering all the hottest new releases coming out in the drum n' bass, breaks, and dubstep genres. She is enthusiastic about finding good homes for great music, and also strives to maximize her learning opportunities in regions of running large sound systems and mix mastery. She is also acquiring skills in turntable cleaning and repair.
Daemia has worked hard with Criminal Element over the past couple of years in organizing and promoting DNB and multi-genre events in San Diego. Her promotional skills have also been put to use with other crews such as Fresh, B3, Creative Kasualties, HARD, Schedule One Media, Bulletproof, Deep, and more.
Aside from her active involvement with already established crews, Daemia is the founder of SoCal Selectress (SCS), a collaboration of female DNB/breaks/house dj's, promoters, dancers, supporters, artists, producers, MC's, firedancers, photographers, clothing and jewelry designers coming together to take the music scene to another level. Current projects with the crew include organizing multi-genre events with an emphasis on drum and bass throughout Southern California which incorporate multiple levels of entertainment, building a powerful promotional street team, and development of a website that showcases some of the most talented and dedicated females in Southern California. Some of her long-term goals with SCS include developing a booking agency, creating a prestigious all-girl sound crew, making a record label featuring female producers from around the globe, organizing an all female massive as a collaboration with other girl crews from around the world, and touring and travelling the world as an all-inclusive stage show with female dj's, dancers, and MC's.
Daemia strives to make an impact on the music scene. Her main focus is furthering her career in music by learning more about every aspect of the music industry. She's not afraid to reach out to others to learn more and collaborates with like minds to unite for a common goal. Her life-long commitment to setting a standard for what unity and good intentions can accomplish in life and with music exudes a contagious energy. Her passion can be experienced in her innovative business ventures, dj classes, mixing, programming, and track selections. She's not afraid to lift a speaker or get her hands as dirty as the beats she spins. You'll always see her around the clubs with mixes in one hand, and a stack of flyers in the other. Come see what the buzz is all about! !

My life is awesome. It gets better and more interesting with each passing day. I love my job, I love my friends, I love lamp, but most importantly I LOVE music!!! As an up and coming dj, I spend endless hours at the turntables, spinning, recording mixes, and pushing myself to new levels. I go out a lot, actively promoting myself and the parties I spin at. I am forever addicted to this hobby, and aspire to hopefully make a career out of it. I love activities that are permanent outlets for creativity, that constantly teach me new things, and involve the energy of other people/animals. That is why I have always had a passion for animal training (my favorites being marine mammals, bears, and primates). I love to entertain and I love learning new things. I am fascinated by human behavior and prefer to surround myself with deep, intelligent, and intricate people with similar interests (especially the music which I heart sooooo much: DRUM N' BASS!!!!) I graduated from SDSU with a BA in psychology in 2005. I feel I'm an entreprenuer with a gift for innovation. My entire family lives in Poland, including my parents. I'm first generation American. I am pretty bubbly and consider myself a good friend to people. I'm a good listener and will always be a compassionate and loyal companion. I'd like to think I'm a pretty intelligent person...but that's a subjective term so I'll let you decide! I love spinning records more than anything else I can possibly think of (yeah...sorry, guys...even THAT...)
I teach dj classes in Southern California. Please contact me if interested. I also work at United Records. I'm learning how to clean and repair turntables and I hope to do this on the side for some extra cash once I move up to LA...not too many girls can say they can fix a turntable ;D
..
It's my birfday and we're getting down underground stylie!
Who I'd like to meet: Chicks and guys that are down! People with substance and character....
I love drum n' bass! I'm looking to meet fun people that share the same love and passion that I do. I'm also down to meet people who support what I do and who are down to come party with me at the events I play at. I'm down to kick it and spin records. I just started producing on Reason. I like deep and intricate people. Open-mindedness is definitely a favorable attribute. I also spin breaks, house, techno, electro, and dubstep.
The newest installment of Gangsta Drum N Bass, this time from Mainframe with MC Young Foe, whos also the founder of the GDNB series! Not for the faint of heart, this mix will smack the shit out'chu!!
