bio
| Amanda Robinson |
After
years of being a fan on the dance floor, Amanda
Robinson decided to move to the other side of the turntables in 2001.
Heavily influenced by the UK funky house scene from her time working in London,
she brings a light-hearted, fun-loving approach to DJing at clubs and parties.
A recurring
guest at 'rent',
'Les Femmes de la Nuit,'
'Tastylick,' 91.7 FM 'MK
Ultra Show' and 'Choice,'
Amanda consistently fills the dance floor with soulful, Latin, funky and rocking house
music.
In 2005, Amanda was selected as a
DJ for Scion's U.S. Emerging
Artists Tour, and in 2006 she was a finalist in the Houston Press DJ
Spin-off for a spot in the Miami Ultra Festival as well as a finalist for the
Best House DJ music award. Amanda has opened for Felix
da Housecat (Chicago - Emperor Norton),
Derrick
Carter (Chicago - Classic),
Mark Farina (San
Francisco - Om Records), Junkie XL (L.A. - Electronic Arts, Ultra Records
) and
Stacy
Kidd (Chicago - Underground Elements). Previous residencies include 'Social Seasons' (2006), 'RnR' (2005-6), 'Groovalicious too'
(2005-6), 'Lush'
(2005), 'Raise the Roof'
(2005), 'House
Party' (2004-5), 'On Top of the World'
rooftop parties (2004), and Fridays at F2 (2003),
along with guest appearances at 'ROTATE', 'Magnetic,'
'Berryhill Sundays'
and 'MIXED Thursdays.'
Amanda's mission as a DJ is to have the crowd "fall in love with the night" by cultivating a warm, friendly vibe in which people connect with the music, with her and each other, and forever remember how they felt when a song dropped at the perfect point in time.
