about
Since making her club debut at the Buzz event at Nation in 2001, Christine Moritz has been intriguing clubgoers in Washington, D.C. and beyond with her sound, which ranges from haunting, cinematic downtempo to upbeat, funk-influenced tunes. Her November 2002 opening set for Thievery Corporation at the 9:30 Club caught the ear of Thievery's Eric Hilton, leading to a highly-coveted yearlong residency at Eighteenth Street Lounge. She has also held residencies at Bossa, Gazuza, the outdoor summer event Air (at the invitation of 2003 DMC champion DJ Enferno), IndeBleu, Alero, and Cue Bar. Christine has played with such artists as Massive Attack, UNKLE, Jazzanova, Rainer Trüby, the Orb, Zero 7, Gotan Project, and Groove Armada. In August 2006, she performed at the UK's highly regarded Big Chill Festival, a three-day outdoor event with 30,000 attendees. She has also graced the decks in London, Prague, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Baltimore as well as at numerous D.C.-area venues. A seasoned radio DJ, Christine is the host of the acclaimed show "Variety Is the Spice of Life." Airing weekly from 1998 to 2006 on the University of Maryland's WMUC (88.1 FM and online), it became the station's most-downloaded program. In January 2006, the show moved to the varietyisthespice.com website. Now also mirrored on the noted downtempo site Properly Chilled, "Variety Is the Spice of Life" continues to draw new listeners with its strong, diverse selection and informed commentary.
