NEW YORK NATIVE IMPLANTED IN JERUSALEM FOR ABOUT A DECADE, DENA G STARTED “PLACEMENT”, A THOUGHTFUL CURATION OF INTIMATE, HI-FI PARTIES FEATURING HANDPICKED SELECTORS, INSPIRED BY THE SPIRIT OF THE ICONIC NYC LOFT PARTIES. DENA’S SETS ARE BOLDLY MUSICAL, CHALLENGING THE EAR AND THE HEART TO REDEFINE WHAT MAKES THE BODY MOVE. SHE IS KNOWN FOR HER NOTORIOUSLY REFRESHING “CURATED BY” PARTIES AND SURPRISING B2B SESSIONS WITH TOP LOCAL SELECTORS IN THE IRREVERENT GAMMAFEST - ALL AT HER REGULAR SPOTS AS A PHI GARDEN RESIDENT. IN ADDITION TO BEING A REGULAR GUEST AT TOP LOCAL VENUES AND PRODUCTIONS IN TEL AVIV AND AROUND THE COUNTRY, HER ABILITY TO CONNECT TO, SURPRISE, AND UPLIFT AUDIENCES OF ALL KINDS HAS BROUGHT HER TO BERLIN, WARSAW, LIMASSOL AND TBILISI, AND SHE HAS JOINED THE ROSTER OF INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS “LOST IN A MOMENT” AND “GARDENS OF BABYLON.” HAVING SHARED LINEUPS WITH THE LIKES OF MIKE SERVITO (THE BUNKER NY), JUSTIN AULIS LONG (SMARTBAR, CHICAGO), BARKER (OSGUT TON), AME (INNERVISIONS), WHOMADEWHO (JACKMODE), AXEL BOWMAN (STUDIO BARNHUS), SEVERINO (HORSE MEAT DISCO), LUCA LOZANO (KLASSE WRECKS), POLO & PAN AND PEGGY GOU, SHE IS GRATEFUL TO CALL DETROIT LEGENDS RICK WADE AND THE LATE MIKE HUCKABY HER MENTORS. DENA’S APPROACH TO SELECTION IS DRIVEN NOT BY GENRE BUT BY SONIC CURIOSITY. HER COMMITMENT TO AUDIO INTEGRITY - FROM THE TECHNICAL TO ARTISTIC - EXTENDS BEYOND NIGHTLIFE TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, AT LARGE. SHE CREATES PRODUCTS WITH WAVES AUDIO AND HAS TOURED WITH BLACK COFFEE, DAVID MORALES, MONOLINK, AND LIVE NATION. PRIOR TO HER NEARLY DECADE-LONG CAREER IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, SHE (INTENSELY AND OBSESSIVELY) STUDIED MUSIC THEORY, VOCAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT, PIANO, AND SIX OTHER INSTRUMENTS GROWING UP. DJING WAS HER WAY TO COMBINE HER LOVE FOR MUSIC AND COMMUNITY. DURING THE CORONA CRISIS OF 2020, DENA CO-FOUNDED THE “HELEM TARBUT” [TR. CULTURE SHOCK] MOVEMENT, A GRASSROOTS INITIATIVE AT THE FOREFRONT OF SOCIAL ADVANCEMENT THAT UTILIZES MUSIC, ART, AND FRINGE CULTURE AS ACTIVISM.
