From an early age, music has been a guiding force in my life, offering me a unique way to understand and connect with the world around me. At 10, I discovered Underground Techno, and what started as a fascination quickly grew into a deep and lasting passion. The raw energy of the beats and rhythms resonated with me, giving me a sense of purpose and direction.
As I began crafting and exploring sound, I was drawn to the old-school techno of the 90s, a genre that has remained central to my musical identity. The timeless quality of those early techno
tracks continues to inspire me, shaping both my production style and the music I perform. My aim has always been to remain true to the roots of techno while bringing in contemporary elements to
create something that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Music, for me, is more than just sound; it’s a personal language that allows me to tap into something deeper - both spiritually and creatively. I view it as a form of alchemy, where frequencies and vibrations combine to create something transformative. This idea led me to adopt the alias Miss Electric, a name that symbolizes the power of music to energize and change. In alchemy, electric fluid represents a force of transformation and renewal, which mirrors my experience with music.
Music has always been my sanctuary - a place where I find not just inspiration, but a deeper connection to myself and the world. Through this journey, I continue to explore the evolving landscape of techno, blending my passion for the genre’s history with a drive to push its boundaries.

HISTORY/BIOGRAPHY FULL
Miss Electric is the alias of Martina Krassnigg, Austrian born Artist and is one of the female DJ/Producers working on nowaday’s underground techno scene with Releases on Primate Records,
Primevil, Different is Different, Complexed Records and Driving Forces Recordings.
Her influences go way back to the early 90s when she began to immerse herself deeply in electronic music,
where she has found a special and unique niche amongst the myriad of electronic sounds discovered under the generalized guise of oldschool-techno.
Miss Electric’s musical journey was kicked into motion in 2003 when she took to the turntables. This quickly led to a string of gigs at venues in Austria and Germany.
Her skills are not limited to the mix decks, as her life-long love and appreciation for music has led her to deeply connect with its language which is also translated in her works as a remixer and a producer.
Later, in 2006, Martina was also turning her hand to music production. She has since released tracks on many respected record labels, including
‘Home Records’ (AT), ‘Dark & Sonorous Records’, Primate Recordings/Primevil Recordings (UK), Back Spin Records, Complexed Records, Driving Forces Recordings, Kaskaderi Records, BLOK , Advanced Records or Different is Different Records.
In 2010 she began a project named "Extraordinary" which explores more experimental techno textures, as well as ambient, dub, chill-out, and break style. "Their main mission is simply to continue the exploration of the various textured offered by these styles and sounds, keeping the strange yet groovy, friendly and mystical vibes, all in the spirit of recreation and fun."
She began studying audio engineering in 2014 to increase and expand upon her focus on sound quality, as well as launched her own label, Miss Electric Recordings (MER). Her new record label will only release top quality, cutting edge techno. Faithful to the old-school sound, the label already features producers like Woody McBride, Ade Fenton, Mike Dearborn or Hiroaki Iizuka. As few examples.
The general electronic musical styles she excels at are deep and dark techno, underground and oldschool techno, ambient & dub techno. Her obsession for underground techno becomes even more apparent in her DJ sets. An energetic, fun-loving and instinctually intelligent young lady, her growing fan base and ever-expanding knowledge of the world of the electronic music scene will only make her become a more poignant and home-based name as her talents shall indeed make themselves known to the world who is willing to open up their hearts to her passion which she generously shares with us all.
