Name: Shiva   Location: Indianapolis, USA

Shiva received her first set of garage sale turntables for her birthday in 1995. After nearly ten years of working the decks alongside many of techno's greats, Shiva has become recognized as one of the best techno DJs the US has to offer. Precision, composition and attention to detail, combined with long, smooth mixes, effects and even some turntable trickery are the reasons DJ Shiva has been a longtime Midwest favorite.

While living in Indianapolis, Shiva co-founded SUBterror, a multi-genre DJ crew dedicated to keeping music in the hands of the masses and bringing attention to the corrupting influence of the corporate music business on electronic music. Along with this crew of some of the Midwest's best DJs, she threw a series of events focusing on underground techno, electro, house, drum n bass and broken beat while trying to add new and diverse elements to the stale party/club scene. She was also integral in Philadelphia's techno revival by helping to throw the Strobe parties.

Now that Shiva has put her skills to work in the production arena, things are starting to heat up. With a remix of Adam Jay's "Regret" upcoming on Azure Records, a remix of Kage's "Transact" on www.berettamusic.com and an exclusive track on the phase02 compilation with us here at Heavy Industries, be prepared to see this girl's name covering the techno community extensively in the future.
