About
Aleka has always been fascinated by music; however, she wasn’t always interested in what main stream pop culture had to offer. Growing up in a small town, EDM was not popular to say the least. Although this stigma surrounded Aleka, she did not ignore her instant connection with dance music.
Aleka’s interest was sparked and she whole heartedly delved into EDM; keenly listening to tracks from artists such as ATB, Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, and Tiesto, to name a few. Aleka immediately had a special place in her heart for electronic dance music, the unique sound that comprises it, and the spreading of positive vibes it emanates.
As a naturally independent person, she knew she craved to try her hand at DJing for a live audience. In the summer of 2010, Aleka began DJing, learning quickly and adapting to the tastes of her audience while still staying true to the music with which she has become enamored. Since that summer, Aleka has DJed in various venues located in Boston, New Hampshire, and Providence.
Her set lists are contrived of an intricate mixture of top 40 remixes, deep house, tech house, electro-house, progressive and trance; indeed a recipe to get the crowd’s hearts racing and bodies moving. What truly inspires Aleka is to share the elation she feels from electronic music and transfer it to her crowd. She is incredibly passionate about the music she plays and always strives to be at the top of her game.
Aleka has held various residencies throughout New Hampshire and Boston. She has also founded the Boston Trance Movement. Aleka is making quite a stir as an up and coming DJ in the New England area and is surely something that has gained the attention of the EDM scene.
