T-INA Darling

DJ T-INA Darling has been spinning eclectic beats around the world for a decade. Her musical enthusiasm has leaded her through Swing Jazz, Hip Hop, Ragga/Dancehall, Dubstep, Trip Hop, House, Techno, Breakbeat up to Electro Swing so she is familiar with nearly all styles of urban dance music. At the moment she is mainly dj-ing Swing and Electro Swing as well as Swing Hop.

Background
Because of T-INA Darling's wide range of interests in music and art her self organised events are bringing together a diverse crowd. Like this she is fulfilling her fantasies of extending the boundaries of urban electronic club scenes.

T-INA Darling has lived and worked as DJ in Hamburg, New York, Istanbul and London. Her homebase is since 1996, in Berlin. She has spun from Russia to the U.S.A. and loves breaking cultural boundaries with her asskicking broken beats sets.
