A Night With… Anja Scneider

By Ellie Stephens

We hope you are fully recovered from last weekends bank holiday antics in time for a very special event. A Night With… Anja Scneider sees her taking to the decks for an intimate performance for her most dedicated fans. Following the success of A Night With Steve Bug and The Wolf and Lamb experience it was only time until Anja’s name popped up on the bill. If you have not yet got your tickets for this event, stop procrastinating and do it. We were lucky enough to get to ask the oh so modest Anja, (we think she is the best female DJ around) a few questions so you know what you can expect on the night. Oh… and we’re also trying to persuade her to move to London!

How did you start?

Everything started with my radio show at Fritz in the year 2000. I was responsible for all the electronic music at the radio and then they asked me to do my own show. I was a bit afraid in the beginning but honestly it was the best thing what ever happened in my life. To play your favorite music for a lot of people and let them know about it. With my show I received then the first DJ request and so I started. Then of course I started Mobilee and had a concrete vision of my sound and of the sound of my artists.

Whats your favourite thing about being a DJ?

Def. not traveling! Airports Stations, Security checks, wasting time with waiting can be a big pain in the ass. But of course it’s a great honour to see all this different places around the world and getting to meet wonderful people. During the night its always the best if you can feel your own music and if you can get lost and take the people with you.

What’s it like being one of the most successful female DJs in the industry?

ha ha I dont see myself like this and I have a huge respect for all this other girls around me ! But I’m doing what I love and I really appreciate this. So there is no stress or pressure. It’s a lot of fun and a lot of responsibility in the same time. I’m happy that I can handle it and don’t see myself as too important. I just want us all have a good time together and if I can make some people happy with my music through Mobilee or sets then I m the happiest person on earth and I know there was something I did right!

What can the partygoers expect on A Night With… You?

A lot of fun and I hope that everyone has someone at the end of the night who they can kiss or hug!

What’s your favourite song of the moment?

And. id Isalos of course on Mobilee

London or Berlin?

I love both places a lot and I love coming to London as I have a lot of friends over there, but I m not sure if I could handle this stress in London. Berlin is more relaxed and easy going which fits more to my personality. But maybe I have to give it a try and live in London for a bit?!
