DJ PROFILES
USA
Chris
Chris is one of the babies of AAi, at only four years old. His speciality is live mixing and his sets are always wild with Michael Bolton jokes and craziness. On the quiet, he enjoys studying what you’re saying (and making out he does it for work) and eating ribs
UK
Thom
Thom turned 7 in March this year and is co-owner of AAi with his partner, Meri. He’s been DJing since 2008 and enjoys not getting changed unless he is nagged to, tunes which include but are not limited to indie, and singing karaoke. His passions include Amber Heard, Newcastle Brown and Chelsea Football team.
UK
Mericat
Mericat (Meri) is 7 years old and is the Grand Dame of AAi. She attempts to crack the whip with poise and grace and be a walking fashion blog on the side. Her sets are a mix of classic indie, sexy modern indie and just stuff with a bit of daft on the side. Away from her role as AAi figurehead and queen of curves, Meri likes to relax in front of the telly with a huge bowl of her favourite food – kedgeree.
UK
Kanjena
Kanjena (Kanji) may only be four, but she’s an old hand at DJing and brings a sense of unreality and folk-indie to AAi during her sets. She’s slightly ethereal with a grounded sense of humour that just works. When not entertaining the masses, Kanj enjoys live music, eating Stinking Bishop, visiting churches and picking wildflowers.
UK
Tony
At just over a year old, Tony is the baby of AAi and only began DJing for them a couple of months ago. As a well-dressed noob about town, Tony is into absolutely everything and never has a minute when he is unoccupied. Tony enjoys making paper dolls from receipts, eating vegan cuisine and ABBA.
UK
Iain
Iain has been knocking around SL for five years and spent a good chunk of that time hawking his wares around various clubs. He's now settled down into a comfortable SL middle age, managing AAi and DJ'ing there every Monday. His sets are an eclectic mix of indie and other alternative genres and if you ask nicely, he’ll play old rap. He supports Liverpool F.C. with a passion and enjoys having a drink with the lads.
UK
Becka
Becka turns five this year, but retains a freshness which means you’d only guess she was about three. She’s a fab indie DJ who stepped in to cover a set once at AAi and was never let her go. Her sets are always inspiring and when she’s not finding new music, she’s mixing her own recordings. She also loves surfing, dressing her dolly and chicken with broccoli.
US
Neenz
Karenina (commonly known as Neenz) has been in Secondlife for 8 years and is a regular weekend DJ at AAi. She enjoys fashion, indie music and has a yen for crazy pop music too. Her secret fetishes include Chris Pine and burritos.
