In the heavily male dominated DJ market, it is rare to find a female DJ who can create a huge impact on the scene in a short amount of time. Miss Nine has not only been able to outshine and make her presence known in such a world, but she has done so all within five years of picking up a record. With her eclectic taste in music, ranging from energetic grooves with plenty of vocals to a deeper, progressive sound, Miss Nine is sure to turn heads and move feet anywhere she performs. 

Starting out as a model at age 16, she made it to the finals of one of the largest modeling pageants in Germany, and soon after secured a worldwide contract with Elite Model Management. Longing for more, her passion for music led Kristin to move to Amsterdam where she dubbed herself Miss Nine and began pursuing a career in the electronic industry where she became a resident DJ at the locally legendary Motion parties where she played alongside masters such as John Digweed, Dave Seaman, Nick Warren, and James Zabiela. She has since performed at Pacha in Ibiza, Space in Miami, Avalon in LA, Mansion in New York, Warung in Brazil, and Ministry of Sound in London, with her fan base multiplying by the minute. While enduring this exhausting tour schedule, Miss Nine still works fulltime as model for Elite. Modeling also takes her across the globe, most note-worthy campaigns include Tommy Hilfiger, Armani, Lancôme, Custo, and Pepe Jeans. She has appeared on the cover of several magazines, including Elle Magazine in Amsterdam.

With a DJ Mix that reached #1 on the iTunes Dance Chart already under her belt, you can be sure this one will be worth the download.

So Kaskade continues to say he is producing House but honestly this sounds more like slow Trance to me. It’s true, producing Trance tracks is what gets you to the top of the DJ Mag Top 100 list but he needs to just fully embrace it and come out and say “Ok fine, this is Trance.” I know all of your House music buddies will give you crap cause you’ve gone over to the dark side, but come on be a man. Of course this is all in good fun, Kaskade, I tease I tease! I’ve played Trance, among many other style, for over 10 years and I’ve taken a fair amount of crap for it from many a closed mind. So without further ado, get Kaskade’s newest track “Dynasty (iTunes)” from his forthcoming album of the same name.

We kinda got caught up on releasing all of these great mixes over the past 4 months that we kinda pushed this mix aside for a bit. This is Part 2 of 4 of the 5+ hour long mix by DJ Nth that will be released at the end of the series that covers: Techno, Progressive, House, and Trance. Keep posted for parts 3 & 4 to be posted over the next few months. If you want more DJ Nth, check out a few other mixes on DMb.

Elite Force has been one of the artists defining the Tech Funk sound and has been a top name in the scene pumping out top-notch tunes one after another. He has always been in considerable demand, with re-workings for the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Crystal Method, Jungle Brothers, Stereo MCs, UNKLE, Infusion, Rennie Pilgrem, Shiloh and Dylan Rhymes all contributing to his reputation as one of the best remixers in the biz. His monthly Strongarm Sessions Webcasts have become something of an intraweb institution since their inception back in 2001, and the most recent archives should be your first stop if you’ve not come across the Force in action before. We are happy to present this Elite Force DJ mix to share with all our devoted readers. Enjoy.
