Since she started djing Ajele has built up a wealth of experience in many different forms of electronic music: house, breakbeats, electro, drum’n’bass right down to downbeat and backroom eclectic sets. Through this she has found her own unique sound.
She has a taste for the cutting edge. This can be seen through some of the great and innovative producers whose records which feature in her current sets, such as: John Tejada, Tiefschwarz, Glimmer Twins, LCD Soundsystem, Paul Woolford, Lindstrom, Vincenzo, Riton, Serge Santiago and the output of labels like 2020Vision, iK7, Fine, DFA and Get Physical, to mention but a few .
After several years playing on the club circuit in Switzerland she set up her own event label, “Chicks Behind the Decks” which she launched in august 2002, and to date has made several events with other female artists across a wide spectrum of electronic music and live performances. It was the first time such a concept had been done in Switzerland and was a wake up call to female djs all over the country. With this she has also hooked up with many other organisations in other countries dedicated to highlighting female talent.
Along with Smash FX (one of Switzerland’s premier breaks outfits) Ajele was one of the first Swiss djs to champion the breaks sound and bring it to the attention of the house fans. As one of the few champions of this sound she was picked to play repeatedly for Kosheen’s concerts in Zurich.
2004 was her first whole summer working in Ibiza but already she has played some of the best venues. In june another bar was added to the list of cooler hangouts in Ibiza town and for four months Ajele was resident of this bar, Lo Cura. Playing there five days a week brought her to the attention of several promoters who quickly took her on board for their club nights. She was a regular for We Love Sundays… playing upstairs in the brand new Redbox (Caja Roja) in Space. On several occasions she was invited to play for Manumission; Inside Space for their Carry On parties and for the closing she played Privilege’s Candy Bar and a two hour set on Space terrace.
2005: Manumisssion took her on board this year again for their ‘Carry on’ sessions at Space, She has been a regular sight out on the terrace and in their Music Box in Privilege, alongside talent such as Ladytron, Whitey (live), Ewan Pearson, Fischerspooner (live)…
After last year`s performances in the Redbox the We Love crew invited her to play at their Homelands Uk festival in may, and for Dave Beer’s Back2Basics ‘Electric Ladyland’ and Smokin Jo and Tim Sheridan’s Nasty Dirty Sex Music, both in the Redbox on alternate weeks. She was warming up in there at every We Love Space party. Summer 2006 she’s been offered a full residency for We Love…
