Dinky

Real Name:Alejandra Iglesias
Profile:Experimental techno producer Miss Dinky (Alejandra Iglesias) was born in Chile, but she moved to New York in the mid-'90s to continue her studies in dance. Shortly after arriving in the States, she became further enamored with dance music and eventually began DJing in the N.Y.C. club scene. (Dinky had long since become a techno fan and occasional DJ, having caught many a German act while still residing in Chile; also, an inspirational trip to Berlin prior to her move to the States proved to be a significant event.) She held a residency at the Flamingo East and spearheaded the Angels on Vinyl, a female DJ triumvirate based in New York City. Influenced by a wide number of sources, from Basic Channel and Christian Vogel to Carl Craig and Derrick May, Dinky's productions range from ambient home-listening to melodic dancefloor fodder.

Legends like Atom Heart, Sun Electric, Villalobos, Dandy Jack and Markus Nicolai were to become key influences in her development as a young musician. In 1996 Dinky went to Berlin to visit her sister, there she discovered the local techno scene and visited clubs like Tresor, E werk, and the Hardwax Store were she bought her first vinyl records. Later that same year she started DJing techno and Chicago house in Santiago..... Miss Dinky moved to NYC in 1997 to attend the Martha Graham School of Dance, fascinated by the night-life and all the record stores she started DJing inmmediatley, soon gaining a following and respect from fans, promoters and fellow DJs.
