Production and Live
As a producer she produces her own tracks in her studio, not asking somebody elso to do it for her like a lot of DJs do.

What people say about DJ Aroma
Some of her productions were quite big, like the 1998 released intellectual anfibia on the english based haunebu label which was the number one of the italia network radio charts for weeks or a track called goofy which was charted by DJs like John Aquaviva or a remix for Joseph Armani and Jan Francisco on swedish Joya/Nero that got recognition likewise and made into the charts of Eric Prydz. In 2009 she was on the Itunes Top 100 for weeks with a track called "miss the point". She released several compilations, one full length artist album, many single tracks and over 16 Eps within the last decade. And, one thing she is very proud of, she was never mentioned as a female artist but as a serious producer, an honour which will hardly happen to topless bunnies in the DJ world.
Aromamusic Label
She runs a berlin based electronica label called aromamusic. Aromamusic offers a wide range of contemporary clubmusic with over 50 releases so far. Artists include Sven Wegner, Gianni Vitiello or Jacob Suske. Aromamusic is famous for being a media plattform, a theory plattform, a label and a place for parties. From conferences on the future of music (musicahead in 2004), workshops, artist exchanges supported by goethe institute (stockholm_berlin in 2008) to minfestivals like the release of the 50th aromamusic record with gebrüder teichmann and such in nov 2008, this label combines minimal techno with a lot of influences of house and electronica. Publishing in the sense of aromamusic can be an event, the internet or even physical stuff like cds and records or even books in the near future. Through its artistic approach aromamusic is always good for music which is ahead of the time and always surprising.
DJ Attitudes
Aroma is a DJ with an issue and a philosophy. She loves to ask questions since she is a also a researcher in the field of cultural anthropology, still, she loves happy people, dancing and smiling in a crowd that becomes one. But she does not use cheap means to create this feeling. She dislikes functional music, she is a real artist creating a mood a flavoured vibe. Its like cooking a five star luxury dinner for your ears. Her audience loves this, just like coming back to your favourite resturant, where the meal is always somehow better than at home. This skill makes her special. .
Her audience loves her for being a tough cookie. She was voted among the best 50 international DJs by german Tendance Music Magazine. Aroma loves what she is doing and therefore gets the respect she really deserves. Show less
