| STYLE |
With
a diverse and lengthy musical background as a singer & performer
Cookiegirl took to the decks in early 2000. Her style is
flexible depending on the mood and the occasion - from mixing hard
nu skool breaks sets to combining old skool funk and classic hip
hop into her breaks sets to get the dancefloor jumping. She can
also bust out classy downtempo funk for the more relaxed venue but
basically always has a great time behind the decks and extends that
to the audience. |
| INFLUENCES |
Her
influences are Krafty Kuts For his diversity as a producer
and the masterful way in which he constructs his sets, from hip
hop to funk through to bangin nu skool, Plump DJs
For their fat funky beats and cause you can tell theyre
always having such a great time when theyre playing!
also Freq Nasty For his amazing ability to draw his audience
in and bend their heads, and Dynamo Productions, Modern
masters of the old skool funk groove. Locally she has been
inspired from the very beginning by Jelli D & Catfood AKA The
Beat Traffikers, two guys who have an amazing dedication to their
music and are probably the most beautiful and talented people
I know.
Early inspiration came from acts as diverse as Beastie Boys, Massive
Attack, Meshell Ndegeocello & Underworld. |
