 Nyx (aka Jessica Pace) immersed herself in Washington's electronic music scene in late 2003. Her first party experience rekindled her passion for electronic music, and as she watched the DJ's doing their thing, she realized that DJ'ing was a something she was determined to pursue. In early 2004 she picked up her first records, got behind the decks and has been playing ever since.
Nyx found that the intensity and insanity of the broken beats were the sound that she was looking for. Her short learning curve, along with her enthusiasm, determination, and guidance from a fellow dj allowed her to hone her skills in a very short period of time. Two months after she started, Nyx landed her debut gig in a small bar in downtown Seattle.
Since her first performance, she has played in many locations along Western Washington, becoming a staple in the Seattle Breakbeat scene. Nyx has also played in Vancouver, B.C., Portland, OR., Boise, ID., Boston, Mass., Los Angeles, CA, and Salt Lake City, Utah. Nyx is also the only female resident on c98.5fm (Seattle's only electronic music radio streaming worldwide @ c895worldwide.com) and has 4 live mixes from the station for download. In June 2006 she released her first CD "Addiction" which has received a great response!
Her style combines many different qualities of music, from filthy lows and complex drums beats, to some dirty funk and driving synths, as well as a more progressive sound with melodic nuances. All of this assembled in her smooth and fast mixes, as she brings more and more energy with her every time she steps up behind the decks. Its also not uncommon for her to switch it up with the pounding 4/4's and bubbly basslines of speed garage, or the grime and rawness of DnB as she flies through records during her set. She is something you won’t want to miss!
