A JOURNEY THROUGH HOUSE MUSIC
In the pulsating heart of the dance floor, there exists a DJ whose soulful rhythms weave tales of love, loss, and liberation. Enter the world of Silkyspinz, a luminary of the underground house music scene, whose journey began in the late 90s when she first immigrated to Canada.
Introduced to the hypnotic beats of house music at the tender age of 17, Silkyspinz found solace and connection in the sounds of the underground. Inspired by legends like Frankie Knuckles, Honey Dijon, DJ Sneak, Mark Farina, Laurent Garnier, and Miguel Migs, she immersed herself in the vibrant tapestry of deep house, Chicago house, jackin house, jazz house, and soulful vocals.
For over two decades, Silkyspinz danced among the shadows, a silent observer of the dance floor’s magic. Attending raves, meeting DJs, and absorbing the rich tapestry of sounds, she cultivated an extensive knowledge of the genre. Yet, it wasn’t until tragedy struck at the age of 41, with the untimely passing of her husband, that Silkyspinz found her voice in the music.
Using DJing as therapy for her grieving soul, Silkyspinz turned to the turntables to navigate the storm within. Drawing from her years of experience and her deep connection to the music, she finally took the plunge into the world of DJing. With each beat, each melody, she found healing, strength, and a newfound sense of purpose.
Now, residing in the vibrant coastal paradise of Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Silkyspinz continues to enchant audiences with her soul-stirring sets. From the sandy shores to the pulsating clubs, she brings her unique blend of deep, soulful, and infectious grooves to the dance floor, creating an atmosphere that transcends time and space.
In her hands, the turntables become instruments of transformation, inviting listeners on a journey of self-discovery and liberation. With every beat drop, Silkyspinz channels the spirit of house music, igniting hearts and souls with the power of the groove.
As the sun sets over the horizon and the stars illuminate the night sky, Silkyspinz stands at the helm, a beacon of light in the darkness. Her music, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, echoes through the night, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is always music to guide us home.
