BIOGRAPHY

DJ Spider -- Decorative *and

Primarily a goth/industrial DJ with a healthy dose of 80s, she has spun a variety of formats over the years, which means anything is bound to show up in her sets, described as “vibrant”, “surprising”, “kick-ass”, and “Omigod, is she really that tall?”

She began her journey to clublife in college, with her involvement with WGRE-FM, the campus radio station in Greencastle, IN, during the “120 Minutes” era of music. After graduation, she returned to her home in the Virgin Islands, where she continued to work with radio as the host of the only live alternative rock show in the Caribbean. Her work with WIVI-FM was highlighted with celebrity interviews, entertaining troops on deployment, and raising money for a number of charities. Spider’s show, Devolution, was bootlegged as far away as Denmark, and ran for over 3 years.

Club work began accidentally as she filled in for vacationing DJs. Eventually she was offered a full-time position with the Greenhouse, a very successful bar and restaurant which maintained several of the hottest nights on the island. Everything from party pop, techno, retro, reggae, latin and happy hour classics became part of her repertoire, and she was able to create and promote a number of successful events with the USO, the Temptations, Jimmy Thackery, Hawaiian Tropic, and the Sinbad Soul Music Festival.

Finally deciding that there was more to the world than the Caribbean could offer, Spider moved to Atlanta, where she rediscovered her love of the darker, harder side of music. She returned to the decks in 2001, and it has been non-stop ever since. Now based in Charlotte, NC, her reputation as a both a DJ and an entertainer has been highly rated, as is her commitment to maintaining a Drama-Free Zone. She has opened for the Cruxshadows, the Last Dance, Voltaire, Anders Manga, Bella Morte, Das Ich and VooDou. Recent tours have had her appearing at the Skin Two party in Atlanta, the Eccentrik Festival in Raleigh, Alchemy in DC, and the Dracula’s Ball in Philadelphia. She is also a primary DJ for Purgatory, one of the fastest growing fetish events in the Southeast, and for Retroactive 80’s at the Breakfast Club, a weekly night dedicated to the new wave and dark classics of that decade. On top of juggling two residencies, Spider can be found making guest appearances at a number of clubs in both North and South Carolina, crafting costumes, and maintaining a number of pets.

And, yes, she really is that tall.
