Mixtress

Mixtress is a London-based DJ and producer, who specialises in fast-paced, frenetic sets that explore the past, present and future of jungle, hardcore, footwork and everything in between. Originally hailing from The Netherlands, Mixtress (aka Rukmini Mukherjee) grew up surrounded by music — from being a child in India listening to her older sister’s Aphex Twin records, to her first taste of raucous rave sounds in the Amsterdam underground scene as a teenager. After moving to London for university when she was 18, Mixtress’ obsession with music blossomed into a full-on rave epiphany — with the cross-genre speed heard across the city inspiring her to take up DJing herself. Mixtress’ penchant for hard, fast and tongue-in-cheek sounds has led her to become one of the most in-demand bookings in the UK underground rave scene. Alongside making appearances at Boomtown, Corsica Studios, Hope Works, fabric and Waterworks, Mixtress’ speed-demon reputation has been further cemented with a host of full-throttle streams for the likes of Boiler Room, HÖR, Keep Hush and more. Her full-throttle mixes heard on Rinse FM, Mixmag, Balamii and BBC Radio 1 have set off gun fingers at homes across the world.
