www.Felinephonix.com [www.felinephonix.com] Originally hailing from the East Coast, Mieka Du Franx began to explore underground dance music in the early 90s in New York City, where she found herself plugged into Manhattan’s hottest clubs, at the age of just 15. Mieka's passion for rhythmic beats began as a young girl growing up under the influence of her father and brother's drumming. As she matured under the influence of beats, she naturally gravitated towards dancing and dancing lead to club music and clubs lead to the music makers. So she kept going... and found herself formally training at Northeastern University where she majored in the Music Industry. Shortly after, Mieka relocated back to Manhattan where she attended The New School to study MIDI and held business as the Public Relations Coordinator for the infamous Satellite Records. In 2001 Mieka moved to Hollywood, California to attend The Musicians Institute, where she enrolled in the Recording Artist Program for recording, studio production, and digital media, earning a certificate in Recording Arts. In LA she slung rekids as usual and clocked in as a house & techno buyer of a local shop. From LA, she paved her way North to Vancouver, BC. Vancouver has provided a crafty platform for Mieka's multi-media explorations, from her music production to her music label. Lab time at the city's Laguara College for Ableton Live has gained her developments for a nu developmental approach to production that is effectively reinventing her style for her music label imprint, Felinephonix Music. The label was formed in 2005 with its first record press, and continues to appeal to DJs around the world as it stretches to do things different. From the second release, FPX was recognized by some of the world's leading DJs and publicized on BBC radio. Within only six releases, the label had three major licenses. With strength in the ranges of House thu Tech-house, avant guard accents, and an emphasis on lyrical experimentation, Felinephonix Music has Mieka's voice as an FPX signature element. Inside the production box, projects include, remixing, vocalizing, songwriting, and edits. Outside the box, community developments for Vancouver's hottest underground event management, Popkiller is a priority she dedicates her time to for showcasing premiere DJ's and live acts. Presently, Mieka has been given the honorable opportunity to remix Ralph Falcon's 1992 classic, "Every Now And Then", which will be released Spring time on New York city's famous, Nervous Records. Another big break for this lady is on the main stage at this year's annual Detroit Electronic Music Festival, Movement; giving a lead-in for some of the biggest talent in industry, including Francois Kevorkian, Carl Cox, and Steve Bug. Mieka's approach to working from the inside and out, highlights her natural ability to instinctually coordinate her spectrum of many talents expressed with an ease of authentic creativity. Her ideas appear to steadily rise with a spirit of pure fun, which in turn have manifested in her multi-media endeavors with unique flavor. ........................ always keepin it fresh.
