Very soon she got acquainted with electronic music and in particular the subtle connection between violin and electronic sound which gives her a new perception of sound and continuous quest for exploration. Since then she produced many personal tracks and performed and collaborated with various artists while tackling the gender barriers and creating opportunities for female artists and female public to express themselves. Currently she is focused on music production and preparation of different artistic projects (design, visual art, modelling) which makes her a valid judge of contemporary trends amongst the global youth artistic scene.

Insolate

A veritable powerhouse of the Croatian techno scene Insolate has been establishing a global presence as a DJ and producer for over 20 years delivering as both a label boss at Out of Place and the creative force behind their electrifying TRAUM events.
Hailing from Osijek, Croatia, on the wide Croatian East – a town that at first glance a heavy industrial atmosphere overshadows, she is making her first steps as a DJ back in 1997 before taking over European and worldwide clubs.
As a DJ, Insolate is well known for her no-compromise, pure-bred techno sets. It's clear to anyone who's seen her perform that she's an artist with a lot of experience but also plenty of inspiration and ambition, and a deep knowledge of techno. She is simply a natural presence in a DJ booth. If you've seen her play, you will know exactly what this means.

Deividas Jaroška                       Vilnius, Lithuania
