Sassmouth - Soulclap Podcast 34 - Jul 2007

Biography of Sassmouth

Sassmouth, a classically trained party girl, sought refuge through electronic dance music in an effort to escape the bullshit of capitalism. Always on the lookout for the next serious party, Sassmouth's training brought her to all corners of the globe including regular holidays in the world's techno capital, Detroit; annual pilgrimages to the Winter Music Conference, and Ibiza's closing parties.

After perfecting the art of dancing 'till sunset, Sassmouth was inspired to DJ in 2002. She began fueling bars, lounges, house parties, and morning gatherings in Chicago with her mix of techno, house and electro.

Sam's love for the more minimal side of techno influenced her decision to study in Santiago, Chile in 2004, where she further developed her minimal melodic sound amongst the Chilean techno community. She eventually snagged a set at one of the top techno nights in the city at the infamous Dominica 54'-- once again rocking that friendly late morning crowd.

Upon returning to Chicago in 2005, Sassmouth began organizing the biweekly techno night, Ettiket, and has continued her late night hijinks behind the decks at other Naughty Bad Fun Collective events at the west-side underground spot, Deadtech. She tag-teamed with the Punisher at 'In Your System' 1 year anniversary, '3 Way Punishment' at Corktown in Detroit, and 'Live Wrong' during WMC in Miami, and played with Surgeon at the 'Big Bang Sessions', with Speedy J at Vision, with Misstress Barbara and Christian Smith at Labyrinth in Detroit, and with Magda and Mathew Dear at Smartbar, Meiotic's 'Your Formula Life' party with Atomly, Popkan, and Steve Barnes, Bryan Zentz at Zentra, Justin Long and Johnny Fiasco at Soundbar, and headlined Cincinnati's techno night, 'Bang'.

Take a disco nap, come early, and stay late to catch her punchy techno and jags into jackin' house at the NBFC's 'Etikett' night every first and third Wednesday at Betty's Blue Star Lounge.
