Missred’s 5 years of spinning to eager clubbers boasts a long list of many recognisable parties, events and clubs in and around Joburg. A belief that passion, talent and ‘that unmistakable X factor’ are what make a DJ great is what drives her to perfecting her art. Her style of music is broad and reflects her educated and mature taste, taking inspiration from all genres and blending it into an aural experience that can only be described as sublime. “Whether it be deep, sexy, tech, electro or vocal… depending on where I play and the energy I get from the crowd, it all depends on where I can take them, because as much as I like to educate and inspire, I always remember that I’m there to entertain too,” she says.
