BIOGRAPHY

No need to glean the One's To Watch in 2006S Just keep eye's and ears fixed
firmly on the style and sounds of France's newest and most creative soul -
the aptly named MissillS one urban punk!!!

Embracing the finest in underground rhythm straddling, Hip Hop, Breaks,
Electro, Grime, Dancehall and Ragga - all find there way into the Missill
make-up. Coming live to the UK early 2006 will be the real deal; front row
seats highly recommended. Until then, a selection of what gets this feisty
spirit going, open the box and flip the switch.

Mash Up, is the first DJ compilation from Missill, due for release March 6th
2006. It features the very best of the sounds in her record bag with the CD
version packing some unreleased tracks on it. The album follows on from
where DJ Yoda and 2 Many DJs left off, and it's a real breath of fresh air
after all those stale mixes from wanabee bootleggers. Missill makes full use
of the skills she has mastered on this (re)creative mix. The open minded
sound of 'little miss magic fingers' making no concessions for anyone.

For those about to find out what this is all about, a little background
perhaps? Missill is just 25. She's a DJ, graphic designer, graffiti artist
and no holds barred sonic terrorist. This self made woman, who answers to
no-one but herself, has left her hometown in the South West of France and is
now ready to take on the world.

In 1999 she was already honing her talent behind the decks as a resident for
the BMC "Rumble in the Jungle" nights (at Le Batofar and Le Glazart in Paris
as well as L'Astrolabe in Orleans). When she DJs live, she beats the living
daylights out of all the sounds that really get her going - ragga, hip hop,
break beat and electro. At night, she has been known to break loose around
the streets of Paris, adding a touch of life to the decaying walls of the
city with her aerosol cans and stencils.

Her unique talent as a graphic designer shines through on the flyers she has
created for numerous "rumble" sessions, but also for venues such as La
Maroquinerie, Le Rex, Le Glazart, Le Batofar and L'Astrolabe. She has also
designed record sleeves (for Laurent de Wilde, Llorca and the Uwe label) as
well as logos and web sites. She designed the poster and visuals for the
Transmusicales De Rennes festival. There have been numerous exhibitions of
her graffiti and painting.

Missill is here to destroy all those readymade ideas you might have about
DJing. At the end of 2003, she played a set on the hip hop stage at the
Transmusicales de Rennes festival and has played at a great number of events
since - gigs, club nights and festivals where she has really made her mark
thanks to her innovative and dynamic style. The sounds she uses are fresh,
the mixes are original and beware, her boundless energy is contagious ! Her
sets cover a wide range of styles which means that she's played at a lot of
different clubs (electro, hip hop, break beat, dub, funk, ragga and more
besides). She's also an instinctive mover and this can really make the crowd
go wild. She's played alongside the likes of Coldcut, Gang Of Four, Horace
Andy, Vitalic, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Jimmy Cliff, Alain Bashung,
Sinclair, Orishas, La Rumeur, RZA(Wu-Tang Clan), Adam F and many others...
The media have also picked up on the Missill phenomenon - she's guested on
radio Nova shows, is regularly featured on "Cult" (a TV program on the
France 5 channel), has provided live mixes for Generations FM as well as
Radio Nova, Oui FM, Radio FG, she regularly has articles and pictures in DJ
Mag, Trax, Technikart magazines, and finallly, she's appeared on Canal Plus'
"Zapping" program and has featured on television shows around Europe and
across the world from China to Mexico.
