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.

Identity has grown to be one of the most respected female DJs in the Northeast and the queen of hard dance DJ in the United States. Her sound, performance, and personality has been spread across the globe in regions such as North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Being solely dedicated to the underground music scene, Identity has been a part of almost every major electronic music festival in North America, and played a role in preserving the underground electronic music scene in New England. She has played with the likes of many other DJs and live performers from across the globe, been featured on radio stations nationally and internationally, and held residencies at some of her number one regional clubs. Identity is a hard working and dedicated individual, striving to keep the hard dance genre at full speed in North America, and continuing to receive guidance and critique from her friends in Europe. She is surely an amazing performer and fits her music to all sorts of atmospheres.
Taking off in 1998, Identity has been at the skill for a decade now, ranging in styles from hard dance, to house, trance, and jungle/drum and bass. She was a hard dance stepping stool in her New England home, being one of the only people to spin that style of music, and educating new comers to the sound.
In 2000, Identity created the New England Rave Union. A promotional crew dedicated soley to electronic music scene in New England, primarily her home state of Maine. The NERU teamed up with different promoters in the area to host some amazing, low cost events and outlaws that will forever be a part of peoples memory. In 2006, The NERU, along with Drive It Like Ya Stole It and One Luv Productions, held a life changing and memorable event called Skyscape in the woods of Maine. This was the second Skyscape, but the first successful one. It has been labeled at the best outlaw that Maine has seen in a decade.
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.
