THEMMIX001: AMELIA HOLT

Mexican born, NYC-based DJ Amelia Holt is a regular and distinctive part of the Brooklyn club scene. Her DJ sets fuse Latin rhythms and electronic beats, transforming the dancefloor into a culture-bending, otherworldly experience.

She has played in clubs such as: Good Room, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Sultan Room, Jupiter Disco, Mood Ring, H0l0, Output, in addition to holding her own residency at Public Records. Outside the US she has brought her sound to Mexico City, playing at Yu Yu and in the Oblivion Pt.2, Portugal at Desterro (Lisbon) and Passos Manuel (Porto), Berlin at Fluff and Zagreb's Price On Request.

In her sessions, you will hear brazen Latin sounds, fresh Tropicalia, deep high octane, fine and elegant dance, alt techno, sharp electro, claustrophobic experimental music, post-punk punches and delusional krautrock. Without a doubt, she is one of the most interesting DJs in the spectrum of the New York scene.


Who is Amelia Holt? 
I am a curator, music head :)

Where is Amelia Holt from? 
I was born in a small town in North Mexico called Rio Bravo near the Texas border. I have been residing in NY for almost seven years and currently in Texas visiting my parents and avoiding the NY winter. 

What is Amelia Holt's community? 
My community is made up of people who share the same interest as me in music and are inspired by art and creating. I love to talk to people in the creative field and share common and different ideas. 

How does your work reflect who you are and where you are from?  
I think overall the curation of mixes plus the combination of parties I used to throw in Brooklyn identify who I am because of the selection in music and guests I invite. I admire the people who created the music I use for my mixes and I find my identity through them.
