Lady Waks is a DJ, Promoter, Producer, Artist, Designer and all round
modern media phenomenon. Since 1999, she has been pushing breakbeat
through the various club nights, parties & festivals she organizes
in St. Petersburg and all over Russia. Waks got her big break on the
airwaves in 99 when she was asked by "Re-Cord", a St. Petersburg Radio
station, to host their Hip-Hop show. She did this for a year and in
2000 focused her energies into promoting. Out of this was born ‘In
Beats We Trust’, (ibwt.ru) which was voted as one of the best club
night in 2004 by TimeOut Magazine. Nearly every big name breaks DJ in
the world has played at and love’s IBWT. Waks even managed to secure
two international residents for the night, Atomic Hooligan & Jay
Cunning to play at each event. With the success of the club night, 2005
saw Waks start the first Breakbeat only festival in the world, Breaks
Arena (breaksarena.com) which see’s over 3000 people joining her and
the huge line up at each party. Breaks Area remains the biggest
Breakbeat festival in the world and has been nominated at this year’s
Breakspoll in the ‘Best Large Event’ category. As a DJ, Waks has played
all over the world and still holds down a residency at The Tunnel in
St. Petersburg. She was hand picked to play on the Electric Kingdon
Tour with Westbam and Hardy Hard and has not stopped since. With dates
at Miami Music Conference, Germany, Brazil, London and a whole host of
festival you will no doubt be catching a set at a club near you. Waks
is also up for ‘Best Break through Dj’ at Breakspoll. It doesn’t stop
there for Lady Waks as her production, with studio partner Hardy Hard,
is getting recognised through-out the dance music world. First up was
the release on West Records ‘Listen’ which got huge support from the
breakbeat scene. Then came along ‘Minimal’: a controversial vocal with
a slamming track to boot which Menu Music (www.menumusic.com) snapped
up in a second. This was by far one of the biggest tracks of 2007 and
it has just received a nomination for ‘Best Single’ at the 2007
Breakspoll Awards. With three Breakspoll nominations, the biggest
Breakbeat festival in the world, a line up of Dj dates and huge
productions, 2008 is going to be the year for Lady Waks
