DJ Cira tastefully blends many flavors of house and techno with a keen ear for infectious, body moving grooves. Based out of San Francisco, she frequently performs for various parties and collectives around the Bay Area. Her influences include industry legends such as Doc Martin and Luke Vibert and as a result, her style spans from Garage and UK Funky to the darker sounds of Industrial, Acid and Electro. A master of any room, DJ Cira brings the vibes whether it is happy, peak or closing hour.
Originally hailing from the UK with a background in classical piano, Cira has always been obsessed with music. Her father (a former opera singer) taught her an appreciation for the classics, however, all types of music were encouraged, from The Animals and Depeche Mode to Barbara Streisand. After moving to the states, DJ Cira was introduced to the sounds of EBM and metal, and later in the mid-nineties, she found herself amid an emerging rave scene in Arizona. It was at this time Cira fell in love with dance music and shortly after bought her first turntable setup.
In 2011, Cira embraced the digital revolution and was inspired by the flexibility the new tools had to offer. As a result, Cira’s DJ sets feature live looping, sampling and the ability to pull from an extensive collection that spans over 20 years of crate digging.
