Paquita Gordon starts her journey as a DJ, promoter and art director in 2008. She founds the "AV-Netwerk" collective between London, Berlin and Venice, where she performs a five hours dj set in Piazza San Marco. In 2013 in Sicily she constitutes "il Vulcano", a cultural project directing music festivals("Stereo cybele" and "Capofaro Space & Sound", in the islands of Pantelleria andSalina), and in 2016 she conducts a twelve hours radio show on the island of Stromboli with the participation of Roberto Cacciapaglia and Gigi Masin and presents "Paroxysm", an experimental live set based on volcanic field recordings performed by Robert Lippok and Giuseppe Cordaro.
She played at every edition of Terraforma Experimental and Sustainable Music Festival at Villa Arconati, delivered great sets at Epizode (Phu Quoc, Vietnam) and Dekmantel Festival (including a Boiler Room performance), played clubs like Berghain Panorama Bar (Berlin), De School (Amsterdam) and Circoloco @ DC10(Ibiza), participated at the David August international music tours in 2016 and 2018 and has a residency at Club Plastic Milano. In the summer of 2018 she realised an exclusive mix for the renowned podcast series by Resident Advisor.
Her world has no borders and the same goes for her music: a tireless traveller, she gets new inspirations from all the places she visits. Her sets, all of the mentirely played on vinyl, can be divided through two main kinds, a cosmic one and an earthly one. The first category delves into the realms of psychedelia, black music, ambient, dub, folk and spiritual jazz, creating something that is hard to define, personaland unique, while the second one is linked with a 360^ club heritage, that goes from house and techno to dnb and trance, with perfect and enthralling mixes. Paquita’s musical research focuses on tribal aspects of sound, starting from its origins and following these roots to their most contemporary declinations, triggering a triumph of the ritual and collective dimension of the musical experience.
