DJ Spiñorita has been raving since she was born… give or take 14 years and a hundred backyard dj’s hired by her family.
She lived an important part of not only So Cal, but SGV history. Bygone party scenes like the 626’s Catholic high school dances and iBrowse Coffee and Internet live on spiritually through her streaming shows on Twitch and NTS Radio.
But most importantly, she “reps the SGV HARD!” Electronic music fans all over the world toss up her custom SGV emote on Twitch. Even though most of ‘em have never been here, they get a pretty decent idea of what we’re about just from watching her get down in her garage with the zarape background and her signature dance moves.
Spiñorita tells us she's the Queen of the 'bra (that's Alhambra, kiddies), and she wants the key to the city. Does she deserve it? Is she a natural born ambassador for the San Gabriel Valley? We think so.
Listen and hear why aging party crews, veteranas and rucas tune into her as their nostalgia show of choice while today’s generation of ravers lose their shit alike to her masterful skill behind the 1’s and 2’s. And listen to her EP on her own Backyard Party Records!
