Tracklist

Virgin Helena is not your ordinary DJ. Either behind the turntables, or just attending the party, she is always the center of attention.
She started performing as a DJ in 1992., being the first female DJ in Croatia, playing at all major clubs and events, and holding a three year residency at the legendary "Quorum Colours" in Opatija - Croatia.
In 1997.  she moved to Vienna and established herself rapidly in the international underground party scene playing alongside some of the most wanted in the scene like Carl Cox, DJ Rush, Tom Novy, Sven Vath, Freestylers, Meat Katie, the Advent, Valentino Kanzyani, Umek, Funk D’Void, ... to name a few.

Her unique style - perfect mixing technique, working with harmonic structures - made Virgin Helena become one of the most demanded DJs in Europe and overseas, always ready for a surprise...(ask anyone, attending one of the many parties where Helena performed;-)

Helena is using pieces of music to tell a story, generating and reflecting ever changing moods. Her sets are hypnotic and powerful, while her music taste has always been versatile, from deep&sexy house to razor sharp techno beats and break beat. She can do it all!

She was also part of the E-JAM project, performing together with some of the finest jazz musicians on many jazz events, like the Jazz Festival in Wiesen, and Ars Electronica in Linz, where she performed with musicians like Christian Eigner (Depeche Mode), Joe Gallivan (drums), Ramesh Shotham (percussions),
George Butrumlis (accordion), Elton Dean (sax), and many more.

Other projects like collaborations with VJs, or being activly involved with fashion shows(as well as a Dj as a model) are part of her daily routine.

She had collaborations with Puma, Diesel, Siemens promotional events (where she performed alongside Kosheen and Raimond), and was also the face and sound of Pink Pommery in Austria.

In 1999., together with Valentino Kanzyani, Helena produced "The Porn HeadQuarters" on Primary records. The release made it into the DJ charts of Deep Dish (nr.5!), Pete Tong, Judge Jules (radio 1, London), to name a few.

Today she is living on the relation between Rijeka (Croatia) and Vienna (Austria) and working on her own production.

Until now she played in USA, Mexico, China, Russia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Chech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia, Italy, Slovenia…
