Artemis (FractalTribe, MA)
http://soundcloud.com/artemis
Diana Levy, better known as Artemis, a name she picked for herself long before attending her first party, is a woman on a mission; not just to make you dance, but, also to make you think. Coming from a background of classical violin and vocal training, Artemis took to the wide variety of sounds within electronic music, and began to experiment with them as much as possible. As her journey evolved, so has her music and her passion to create smiles and good times wherever she plays. She has joined forces with Tight Crew as one of their DJ’s, and as a coordinator for all ambient rooms at their events, very often both decorating the room and playing psychedelic downtempo beats. This has only increased the diversity of music Artemis plays, which previously included psy-trance of many kinds, electro, techno, breaks, dubstep, and house. She also works with Fractaltribe, Awake Productions, and is part of the Awakenings crew, working on decorations and artwork, making each event look as spectacular as the music sounds, creating exciting spaces for people to explore while at events, such as the various Subculture events. Through these special projects and many of her other gigs, Artemis has been able to transcend cultures and reach people from all walks of life. “I feel renewed and awakened in a way that I had previously never thought possible. This music is magic; teaching the body to move, the mind to listen, and the soul to let go. I hope to help my audiences feel this same magic I feel.”
