DJ Julia

Published 7:00 am Thursday, May 1, 2008

New Mexico–bred DJ Julia initially migrated to Seattle to jump on the

dot-com boom. She spent two years as a techie at Amazon before

deciding to pursue a life outside the soul-sucking (read: corporate)

world. That meant club-hopping across the country and spending her

savings on decks and records. Sounds like a surefire way to go broke

and stay broke, but Julia turned out to be a natural. The ex-Amazonian

spins tonight, infiltrating the dance floor with a sexy concoction of

house, trance, and pummeling bass. With VHS or Beta, Tigercity, and

TacocaT. Nectar Lounge, 412 N. 36th St., 632-2020. 8 p.m. $10 adv.
