st. blaize + bio

Given Name: Leslie McKay
Age: 28
Chosen Name: St. Blaize
Dj: Breaks, House

St. Blaize brings the bass, the beats and the emotion into each of her sets. She started spinning by playing on friends’ tables, and getting beat-match instructions from them. A year later, she bought tables and a mixer. Now a few years later here she is. She says that she “still [has] a long way to go. But it will be fun getting there.”

Her musical influences range from Hip Hop to Classical scores, which is why she like to play breaks mixed with a 4/4 beat, “There’s nothing I love more than a deep, bassy prog track that moves you…unless you throw a break in it afterwards…”

In the few years she’s been spinning, she’s made several recordings including: “third orbit,” "4,000 Bricks," "HI 5," "Sicks" and "+6dB." She currently enjoys a monthly residency at Minc and a bi-monthly stay at Crave. She's held past residencies at Lisa’s Lounge (Club One), Minc, Sue Ellen’s, Soul II Soul, Infected Audio at the Sandbar, and has been the guest dj several times on Bass Pressure Radio, an internet radio station for future breaks, hosted by friends Agent L and Prajna.

She’s played all around Dallas at The Village, Club ONE, Orchid (RIP), OPEN, MINC, Crave, Limelight, Club Clearview, Art Bar, Sandbar, Lizard Lounge, Saphire Lounge, Moosh, Soul II Soul, Sue Ellen’s, Hawkwood for Massiv3, FLOW and Reach. As far as traveling, she's a favorite among the East Texas crowd playing several parties there: DropZone with Simply Jeff in Tyler, TX was her favorite there. She's also often in New Orleans spinning, having thrown down at the Shim Sham Club, Whirling Dervish and the Rainbow Room.

She is a member of Scy High Collective, Unisca Entertainment and Ultra Fonic. She is also the new breakbeat buyer for CORE Records in Dallas.

You should be able to catch her live every other Saturday at Crave. Or check out the dates section of the website for upcoming gigs.

1) be self-supported by writing/mixing music
2) play a party in Europe.
Actually, I need to insert goal
2a) get passport. :) “
