Vinyl icon or simply the „Godmother of House“ Staying true to (the) good old vinyl, DJ Hildegard wows enthusiasts of electronic music with every set, when they look upon her turntables. Already in her teens she used every spare minute to teach herself the art of DJing. She first made her mark as a black music DJ. In her early twenties she autonomously ran Care in Karslruhe, a clubbing legend. With the rise of the electronic era, Hildegard adapted her style and continued climbing the ladder as a house DJ. After moving to Hamburg, she added her own flavor to the team of WEA-Records as a club DJ promoter, all the while still laying down tunes herself. She was A&R label manager with nerve Records and founded her own music promotion agency “Hildegard meets music” with a raving success. As the face and resident of BigCityBeats she enriched the radio program of BigFM for over five years and rocked the turntables of every major party in Germany and Europe. At festivals and events like Nature One, Time Warp, Sensation White, Streetparade and Sea of Love she played with fellow DJs Sven Väth, George Morel, John Acquaviva, Gayle Sun, David Morales, Lococ Dice and many more. DJ Hildegard mixed scores of compilations such as “House Club Hottest Vol. 5”, “A Night Out in Dubai” and several BigCityBeats compilations whose Vol.1 she propelled into the top 10 album charts with her prowess. In August 2010 DJ Hildegard took over Carl Cox’s slot at Radio Sunshine-Live where lovers of all kinds of electronic sounds can relish her live turntable mixes in her show “Hildegard meets music” on every 3rd Thursday of the month. She also appears on MS-One Radio’s Delicious Housetunes every other month.
