Amanda Rude!

Amanda Rude bio July 2008

BASSLINE HOUSE / UK GARAGE / SPEED GARAGE DJ

They say timing is everything and in the world of music this couldn't be more true. A successful DJ must have not only a natural sense of rhythm, tone and composition, but also have the social savy and toughness to take advantage of "being at the right place at the right time."

Rude has resisted the easy route which often leads to medicore status. Instead riding her passions for UK Garage and Bassline House in anticipation of their impending prominence. Amanda is blessed with a natural charisma, which unfortunately can be the primary calling card for some female artists, but while these attributes have surely opened doors for some, Amanda's impressive skills and relentless pursuit of fresh tracks are the foot that keeps her doors from closing.

Back from a recent trip playing dates through the UK and Ibiza, her crates are surely full of the latest authentic selections, confident to tear strips off the floors of Vancouver before attacking a prime spot @ Shambhala in August 2008.

What else has Rude been up to?

About 3 years ago she co-founded a group called FlyDJs (WWW.FLYDJS.BIZ). The ‘FlyDJs’ are an all-girl DJ collective, dedicated to helping one another with keeping the vibe alive & kicking wherever possible. This collective has thrown many events including monthly FlyDJs showcases and weekly female DJ lessons. Amanda is also currently studying and practicing 3D design full time. More recently she has taken up music production and is also working on her own special events in Vancouver.
