Being one of the first female pioneers in electronic dance music, ISIS is now considered to be one of the world’s Top Ten female DJ’s in the tech-house area.
Her deejay-sets can be best described as a refreshing adventure through the here and now of modern dance music. Her style is sparkling and unconventional. The industry sometimes categorizes Isis as a so-called tech-house deejay, but Isis herself defines her sets as: “a mixture of mainly electronical, repetitive dance music with a touch of minimal and electro. The harmony within the individual tracks and the whole mix is my guideline”. Also, her sets are characterized by various ethnical influences, for instance African, Eastern, Latin American and Dub.
