Monika Kruse is techno DJ and producer. She also runs the labels Electric Avenue and Terminal M.
Her first solo album “Changes of Perception” was released in September 2008.
Monika Kruse’s star is shining brighter than ever with a global fan-base hungry for her irresistible beats. In 2014 her club appearances included Space Ibiza with Carl Cox, Amnesia Ibiza with Marco Carola, We Love… at Space Ibiza, Sankeys Ibiza, Egg London and regular sets for her residency at Berghain Berlin.
She dazzled the festivals, too, playing events such as Time Warp, Melt Festival, 18 Hour Festival, Eastern Electrics UK, Ultra Music Festival in Miami and South America, Sonus Croatia, Awakenings ADE, and SEMF Stuttgart. She also hosted a stage at Amsterdam’s Edit Festival, showcasing some of her favourite artists such as Pig & Dan, Nick Curly and Miss Kittin.
Classically trained in piano and with an acquired taste, Monika’s love of music is broad and profound. She grew up buying records, accumulating a music collection that has grown to span funk, soul, hip hop, and house music. When the revolutionary rhythms coming out of Chicago and Detroit captured her imagination it led her to throw parties in illegal venues including World War II bunkers, trams and deserted houses.
Electronic music culture has evolved rapidly since those early days but Monika’s talent and passion is constant. “My ethos is ‘sweat with a smile,’” she says. “I give love to my audience and they give it back. LOVE – it’s the best thing in the world. My goal is to help people forget whatever is going on in their life and have a little holiday – just get lost in my music.”
