Hi. My name is Missy Lektro and I used to go by DJ Margaritaville. I have been a DJ since Fall of 2005 and I graduated from Point Blank Music College in London. I recently started my own record label, Kardiac Records
My manager, boyfriend, and business partner, hector (aka The Outsider) is the love of my life and my go to guy for pretty much anything I come across that I can't handle myself. He is literally the one man art department of my label (for now) and he takes care of most of the technical aspects of my career (including my live shows and mastering of my DJ mixes and tracks). He is literally the best computer technician in central texas and I am not exaggerating!Band/artist history
My real name is Marguerite and i'm 28 years old. I moved to Austin, Texas in 2001 to attend the University (UT) and in May of 2005, I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Radio/Television/Film. After graduation I was off to London for three months where I attended DJ school Point Blank Music College. When I wasn't practicing I went to record stores and clubs and even maintained a residency at the Matt and Matt Bar in North London.
I became exposed to London's breakbeat scene and saw the likes of Adam Freeland, Plump DJs, and Atomic Hooligan at the popular London club Fabric. I also learned the basics of scratching and beat juggling. I also became further exposed to electro and electro-house. Some of my current favorite electro artists are the Presets, Calvin Harris, Tiefschwarz, Tiga, Freeform Five, and Ladytron. Two weeks after returning from London, I was given the opportunity to play at a local Austin club called the Light Bar and became their resident Saturday night DJ for six months. I have also played at other local clubs like Latitude 30, Plush, Egoâs, and Terrace 59 and am now producing my own music using Ableton Live.
Recently, I have started my own record label, Kardiac Records, with my partner Hector (aka The Outsider), and have just released my first mini artist album. Although we are still getting the label off the ground, with perserverance and dedication, we hope to be a positive force in our regional, and eventually global, EDM community.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes I play live and am starting to throw my own events under our record label and production company (Kardiac Records)
Your musical influences
Obviously, I like electro...I also like many other forms of electronic music (house, techno, breaks, etc.)...what I don't like is hard house, gabber, happy hard core, or pretty much anything over 140 bpm with a few exceptions, like some drum and bass and stuff.....I also like some stuff that isn't all electronic, like Sublime....
My favorite artists are the Presets, Calvin Harris, Tiefschwarz, Anthony Rother, Ellen Allien, DJ Tiga, Wally Lopez, and lots moreWhat equipment do you use?
