electric indigo

DJ and musician, founder of female:pressure

Electric Indigo, DJ and musician, has rocked clubs, raves, and festivals in 34 countries. Her name stands for an intelligent interpretation of the terms "techno" and "party". She started her DJ career in Vienna in 1989 with jazz and funk sets, but soon found her style in the Detroit and Chicago techno sound. In her Berlin years (1993-1996), she was responsible for purchasing and communication for the legendary record dealer Hard Wax. In 1998 she created female:pressure, an international database for female DJs, producers, and visual artists who work in the fields of electronic music. female:pressure is a unique, web-based resource of female talent all around the globe and was built to enhance mutual support and communication as well as the general level of information about female artists. In 2002, DJ Electric Indigo played on the main stage of Detroit's Electronic Music Fest, a great honor for her since she's been truly inspired and motivated by Detroit's music. 2003 Electric Indigo started her own record label indigo:inc recordings and 2004 brought a new cooperation of her live-project with Mia Zabelka: colophony circuit featuring Dorit Chrysler. The three artists were invited to play a concert at Vienna's Radio Kulturhaus for the "Reinventing Radio Show" and it was broadcasted twice on OE1, Austria's most prestigious cultural radio channel.

Seit Jahren ist die Wienerin Susanne Kirchmayer alias Electric Indigo eine der gefragtesten DJs zwischen Baltikum und West-Coast. Die ehemalige Einkaufsleiterin des Hardwax Plattenladen in Berlin war Initiatorin von female:pressure, der ersten Datenbank für weibliche DJs und Producerinnen. Bei den Sets der eifrigen Streiterin für open source darf ausnahmslos mit erlesensten Elektroscheiben gerechnet werden.
Musikalisch mit Hip Hop, Funk und Jazz sozialisiert, schlägt Susanne Kirchmayers Stunde im Jahr 1989 in einer kleinen Bar in Wien, wo sie als Ersatz für einen DJ einspringt und schnell Gefallen am DJing findet. Kurz darauf infizieren Tracks aus Chicago und Detroit Electric Indigo mit dem Technovirus, von dem sie bis heute nicht loskommt.
Inzwischen steht Electric Indigo für funky Electro- und Technogrooves und verkörpert dabei die postmoderne Medienkünstlerin schlechthin. DJ, Musikproduzentin, Fernsehmacherin, Radioredakteurin, Labelinhaberin, Internetaktivistin und Plattenladenmanagerin sind einige der Professionen, denen die umtriebige und interessierte Wienerin nachgeht.
