Alias/Collaboration

• RECKLESS GIRL

Being bogged down with fourth-year university commitments, a part-time job as a teaching assistant during the school year, and a full-time summer job at a local radio station hasn't stopped Toronto DJ Aleksandra from spinning her way to the top. In the six years the high-scoring student has been DJing, she's played all the major cities across Ontario and landed a coveted residency inside the Acid Lounge at the Guvernment. Also making her way onto more bills at Footwork and This is London with her increasingly tech-influenced house sets, Aleksandra is becoming well-known for her party programming, smooth transitions and on-deck creativity and adapts her sound to any venue setting whether it is deep, vocal, electro or tech house.

Formerly tagged Reckless Girl, Aleksandra always had an interest in music. Both her parents are professional musicians with master's degrees in music, so it was only natural she pursue it in some way. She bought turntables when she was 16, but had no intention of playing out - until one night in 2002 at Revolution Nightclub's Purple Room in Waterloo, which snowballed into numerous repeat offers for gigs. Like any upstart, so much of getting known relies on stellar self-promotion. So when Aleksandra isn't gigging, promoting or updating her website, she's squeezing in studio time with her brother Jake Chec where they have recently produced their first track, aptly titled 'Sibling Rivalry'.

Aleksandra's recent success includes opening for international DJs Steve Porter and Hatiras, and playing alongside Ferry Corsten, ATB, Christopher Lawrence and Tall Paul. Her growing success has also landed her a sponsorship from Scandal House Designs; a high-end urban clothing label for women. In addition to her hard work on and off the decks, Aleksandra continues her journey seeking new sounds and venues ready to showcase her talent and inspire a new and growing generation of clubbers around the world.
