Shiva received her first set of garage sale turntables for her birthday in 1995. After nearly ten years of working the decks alongside many of techno's greats, Shiva has become recognized as one of the best techno DJs the US has to offer. Precision, composition and attention to detail, combined with long, smooth mixes, effects and even some turntable trickery are the reasons DJ Shiva has been a longtime Midwest favorite.

While living in Indianapolis, Shiva co-founded SUBterror, a multi-genre DJ crew dedicated to keeping music in the hands of the masses and bringing attention to the corrupting influence of the corporate music business on electronic music. Along with this crew of some of the Midwest's best DJs, she threw a series of events focusing on underground techno, electro, house, drum n bass and broken beat while trying to add new and diverse elements to the stale party/club scene. She was also integral in Philadelphia's techno revival by helping to throw the Strobe parties.

Now that Shiva has put her skills to work in the production arena, things are starting to heat up. With her first vinyl release on Philly's Internal Error expected to drop in early 05 (with remixes by Adam Jay), a remix of Adam Jay's "Regret" upcoming on Azure Records, and a remix of the legendary Woody McBride on Chromagnon, be prepared to see this girl's name covering the techno community extensively in the future.
