MISS INNOCENT (GoodMood :: Futuretech / CAN)
Miss Innocent Colleen's early influences from groups such as Front 242, Depeche Mode and New Order led her to come into contact with the electronic music scene on the Canadian Westcoast back in 96/97. She then became acquainted with the art of spinning through DJ Dr Phreak and in the fall of '97 she helped him run the 1409 Afterhours. It became quite popular in the Vancouver underground as they were able to host such djs as Mike Huckaby and David Alvarado. She then took up djing in 1999. Colleen quickly became a crowd favorite with her enthusiasm for techno, tech-trance and acid trance. While playing alongside her peers, Lori the hifi Princess and Dekoze, she soon built up a rapport in the budding scene to allow her to be billed with techno mainstays such as Chris Liberator, Mark EG, DAVE the Drummer, Massimo, Slobodan aka Staffan Ehrlin, Renato Cohen, Jay Denham, British Murder Boys, Billy Nasty and Geezer. She has also had the opportunity to play at some of the best venues around (Hifi Bar-Australia, Sun City-Austria, Warehouse-Calgary Canada, Sonar-Vancouver Canada, Cube-Quebec City Canada, Club Extravaganza-Croatia, Papillon-Croatia,
Stereodrome-Slovakia, Kuca Club-Belgrade Serbia, Fleda-Czech Rep, Fabric-Czech Rep, Supalova Club-Slovakia, Obsession Festival-Austria, Cazin Club-Austria, Cosmic Trip-Czech Rep, Smederevo Fortress-Serbia). Colleen worked with the Soundproof Crew for six years putting on underground events in Vancouver Canada and near the end of 2003 she decided to relocate to Graz Austria to focus more on production and djing. She is currently working on producing her own music, has been doing collaboration work with Lori the hifi Princess and is helping run the new techno record label, Goathead Records, with Swedish dj/producer Slobodan (aka Staffan Ehrlin). As well, Colleen writes a monthly column for the Australian based electronic music website, 12AM.com.au, and this features dj interviews, event reviews/pictures and news about the Austrian techno scene.
