CETACEA Biography
DJ Cetacea was born Laurin Hatcher in 1979, living mostly in MS and New Orleans, LA. Cetacea (see-tay-shu) began on the turntables at the age of 9, but did not really learn to spinn until age 20. She started as a bedroom DJ on the MS gulf coast spinning progressive trance, drum n bass, dubstep and breaks. From there she started spinning at house parties and clubs in north MS, Cetacea’s first real performance was in Friday Harbor, WA in 2000. She also began writing her own music on Roland drum machines, Korg Keyboards, and samplers.
She began singing and playing piano at the age of 6. She says “the keyboard feels like an extension of my fingers” ( Mix magazine, Feb 2009). She took to singing with an amazing voice, she sings her own songs and uses her samples when she plays live performances. She also uses her durm machines and keyboards during turntable sets, mixing from records to machine and plays music on top of records to give the music extra depth. “Cetacea is the new electronic musician to watch out for” ( BPM magazine, Jan 2010). Cetacea makes ans spinns jungle/DNB, dubstep, and breaks. Cetacea has been recenty named on websites as the Dubstep US Queen and one of the best female DJ’S to hail from the South. She has been named in Mix Mag as “tricky”, in a recent interview, because DJ’s that know her state, " you never know what music you are going to hear until she drops the needle".
Cetacea’s sets also are very unique, because she not only uses records. She puts her on beats and tweaks to songs that may be well known, but sound different when she spinns them. Cetacea also has been slamming through the Drum and Bass scene being called the one of the best Drum and Bass female DJ’s. Cetacea mixes Jungle/ Drum and bass with dubstep, since she is the first DJ to do this and be known for this unique sound, she coined the term “Junge Step”. | read more
