Project:ELEKTRA Resident Staff

DJ A04
A04 was (re)born at the beginning of 2000 just as a clubgoing fool and then later as the organizer of Project:ELEKTRA events (and also webmaster here, but whatever). As an avid and sometimes militant believer in alternative electronic music, he has quite a long history. Believing that dance is an essential part of expression and stress release, he spins synth-pop, future-pop, EBM, new wave, dark elektro, and electroclash selections that will hopefully have people dancing. A04 likes things that flash, twinkle, glow, or react to black light.
