Sounds Like
A whole bunch of dirty ravers just took over Manhattan, tearing apart buildings and billboards, clubs and bridges. Breaking into your moms house, doing your sister, and then ransacking the kitchen. Not to mention the music collection!
Hard filthy hard house, death decaying hardstyle, and glow sticking hard trance make up my cocktail of hard dance music. Never puttin down a track other then to play it, and never underestimating the definition of hard dance music.
Alkaline Records | Shejay | Vitus Productions | USA
Being a leader in the American hard dance industry, Identity has proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that hard dance music in itself sets the perfect atmosphere. Filled with energy, excitement, and riveting sounds, she has grown to be one of the nations leading hard dance dee jays. From old school bounce, to hard trance, nrg, hardstyle and scouse, she has demonstrated nothing shy of the styles.
"They each have their own definition and sound, and by collaborating the pile in my sets, it creates its own sound, which is where my stage name has come from... IDENTITY."
Taking off in 1998, Identity has been at the skill for over a decade now. She was a hard dance stepping stool in her New England home, being one of the only people to religiously spin the concoction, and educating new comers to the sound. She gathered a huge fan base in the north easten region of the states as well as the north eastern provinces of Canada. Her sound spread worldwide throughout the underground network. Being featured on airwave stations worldwide, as well as performing at some of the countries top electronic music events, her sound became a healing drug.
The stage name is shared across the globe with other electronic music performers and producers ranging from drum and bass, to hip hop and breaks. However, only one holds the true identity of sound, and we would hope that it is the undefined sound of the hard house you hear today.
Identity has put so much effort and dedication into the scene and her style of music and continues to educate and perform across the nation. On special occasions, she brings out that dirty drum and bass with her splitting essence of turntablism as always included. As a promoter, a dj, and a raver, she never stops, and never will.
Identity is taking bookings for this 2010 year! Dates are limited until further notice so put your request in now! All bookings are subject to contract.
Please send inquiries to renita@shejay.net, or thedjidentity@hotmail.com.

Dont miss out on the opportunity to be part of an amazing sound!
