Katja aka Jolie Noir first sunk her teeth into DJing at the age of 18, initially drawing inspiration from Hip Hop name stays such as Grandmaster Flash, A Tribe Called Quest, Dr. Dre & Salt ‘N’ Pepa. After initially playing her local circuits as a Hip Hop selector Katja entered a new musical phase in 2009 after a visit to ‘Rakete’ club, a principal moment in her musical development as her love of Hip Hop progressed into a love for the sound, energy and aesthetics of house and techno.

As 2014 presses on Jolie Noir has been crafting a new electronic sound peppered with her early influences, seen here in her re-imagining of Grandmaster Flash’s famous ‘White Lines’, which is the first in a four-part free download series via SoundCloud.
