DJ PROFILE: KRISTINA SKY -
UNITED STATES
 Kristina Sky discovered Dance Music at the age of 16 when she began attending underground parties in Los Angeles. It wasn’t very long before she went from attending these events, to organizing and throwing them. Sky threw commercial and underground events from the ages of 17-22. Her events took her following all over Southern California from Santa Barbara to L.A. to San Bernardino to the Mojave Desert.
After years of throwing parties, managing local DJs and being a dance music fanatic, Kristina realized that she wanted to start becoming a DJ instead of just booking and managing them.
She was given a pair of old decks by a boyfriend and started collecting vinyl- the rest is history.
In early 2002, Kristina Sky was booked to play her first event and the response was very positive. More bookings followed as a result and her small, dedicated following began to take shape. Since then Kristina has been pounding her unique style of euphoric, melodic, driving, epic trance and chugging signature blend progressive/house/electro, into the heads of Dance Music Lovers all over the world.
She held her residency at Club Heaven, Hollywood since a month after it opened in early 2004 and early-on in her career had the opportunity to play alongside some of the greatest and biggest names in Trance such as Blank & Jones, Solarstone, Johan Gielen , Jan Johnston, Nu-Nrg, Kyau vs Albert, 4 Strings, Ronski Speed, Mark Norman, Motorcycle, Rank-1, Dave Dresden, Second Sun, Ian Van Dahl, Cosmic Gate, Filo & Peri, Menno de Jong and the list goes on, while also playing a huge hand in bringing many of these artists over to L.A./U.S. for their 1st time.
In Summer 2005, Kristina picked up a new residency with XM
Satellite Radio's 'Lost Episode' Club-nights, alongside talented DJ and Lost Episode Host, Victor Dinaire. Lost Episode put on a handful of quality club nights in Los Angeles and San Diego, at various world-class venues such as Avalon (Hollywood), 4th and B (San Diego) etc... where Kristina played alongside Top 100 DJs like Ferry Corsten (#5), Paul Oakenfold (#11), and Andy Moor (#46) to name a few.
She is also rotating resident on Victor Dinaire's Lost Episode Radio show on
XM
Satellite Radio (over 7 million subscribers) and is a regular featured artist on Dinaire’s Resident Nation on Music Choice/DirecTV (broadcast to over 30 million homes in America).
Kristina continues to maintain a 4+ year-running residency on www.etn.fm, one of the largest and most respected Trance and Progressive online radio stations in the world, where regulars from all over the globe, tune in to hear the latest and greatest in trance and progressive, interpreted by Kristina Sky, during her current mix show series - “Kristina Sky Presents... Trancelate”
2006 was a very productive and positive year for Kristina Sky. She was named Official Resident DJ for
Spundae
(Voted #1 Promoter @ 2006 IDMA
and #37 Club in the World by Mixmag), after playing countless shows and cultivating a massive SoCal following (43 shows in 2005 alone!) 2006 also saw Kristina’s huge debut performance at
Coachella, one of the biggest music festivals in North America, where she played to thousands of eager festival go-ers alongside legends and top acts like Madonna, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Daft Punk and more. This was a great compliment that Kristina did not take lightly, being that she herself was a
Coachella
fan and attendee since their first year running. The response to her performance was massive and she was even asked to play a 2nd set later that night, a very rare, if ever,
Coachella
occurrence.
Kristina tied up 2006 with an astounding total of 55 shows that took her to places like China, Ecuador, Canada, Texas, Oregon, Florida and more where she played for thousands of amazing fans and music lovers and culminated 2006 by playing at
Giant
Maximus, one of the biggest NYE events on the planet, playing alongside an all-star line-up including Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten Sasha & Digweed and more.
After week-in and week-out of playing quality shows alongside the best DJs in the world and having a steady radio presence, it’s no wonder that she accumulated enough fan support to get her voted into the
Tranceaddict.com
Top 250 DJ Poll as a New Entry and to land her at #75 in the United States, #102 in the World for Trance, on the highly regarded,
DJ
List (out of 99,000+ Registered DJs).
Kristina also finally made her way into the studio in 2006 and finished off her first monster of a remix with Randy Boyer of EnMass [EnMass- CQ (Seek You) (Randy Boyer & Kristina Sky 2007 Remix)], which was signed to Armin Van Buuren’s own
‘A
State of Trance’ record label, set to be released sometime in Jan ‘07. This first remix gained support by top talents like Armin Van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Solarstone, Agnelli & Nelson, Sander Van Doorn, and many more and is rocking dancefloors all over the world. Before the New Year hit, Kristina got back in the studio with Randy Boyer to work on their follow up to CQ. This time around they were put on serious remix duty for trance legend, Pulser's, hot new single, "Things You Say". This mix is Kristina’s first vocal production work and she is really excited about the project (due to be finished by Feb ‘07) Already with other collaborations in the works, you can expect Kristina’s ‘CQ’ & ‘Things You Say’ remixes to be only a taste of what’s to come.
Recently being taken on by Beatkraft
DJ Agency, 2007 is sure to see Kristina travel to many more cities to continue sharing her unique and feel-good sound. Already booked to play shows with Peter Hook of New Order and Above & Beyond, along with other international offers to play in Mexico, Germany, Holland and the UK to name a few, 2007 is already off to a promising start.
Kristina Sky has undoubtedly developed a very loyal following that appreciates her passion and energetic performances. This following is what fuels her to keep playing.
Bottom line, whether it is a warm-up set for a major headliner or playing a peak time slot, Kristina Sky is ready to rock the dancefloor and get the crowd moving.
Her mission is clear: to play the tracks that clubbers want to hear and to give clubber’s the opportunity to see and interact with an exciting act that will set them up for the ultimate nightclubbing experience.
