Mina 117
Born in Santa Fe, Argentina and raised in the city of Rafaela, Guillermina Molfino - better known as DJ Mina - began her record collection at a young age with jazz, bossa nova, soul and other styles from the early electronic music pioneers.
When she moved to Córdoba in 1996 she was introduced to house music, a genre which she adopted as her standard and dedicated herself to once she learned the art of mixing tunes. After an inspirational trip to New York in 1999, Mina decided to settle in Buenos Aires to turn her hobby into a profession. Experiences at the renowned parties at Clubland Pacha soon allowed her to share show dates with top international DJs like Lee Burridge, Steve Lawler and Satoshi Tomiie. She was soon booked all over Argentina and decided to add two tours to Barcelona (2002) and New York (2004).
Touring and traveling dominate a large part of Mina"s career. In 2010 she toured Central America taking her music to the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, where she became a familiar face at D&N Club. Mina"s different house blends allow her to incorporate music from the classic sounds of Chicago to the sexiest beats of deep house, making her a DJ capable of spinning small clubs as well as large events and shows. Thanks to her versatility on the tables, she has made up part of the artistic circle in every edition of Buenos Aires" Creamfields festival and its circuit in numerous booths around South America including Lima, Santiago de Chile, Asunción, and several venues in Brazil. Other featured performances include the WMC in Miami alongside house legend Erick Morillo.
With several years" experience in the local scene, Mina decided to start the Dollhouse project in 2007, a road tour she created and produced herself. The concept behind Dollhouse is to highlight women who stand out in the DJ booths. Dollhouse has seen all the different genres" best representatives in Argentina as well as international DJs such as Kiki Morse, founder and former member of Chicks on Speed, vocalist Lisa Shaw and Brazil"s Mary Zander. At the beginning of 2011 Mina performed at Cielo, the legendary club in New York and had ongoing gigs at Miami"s Wall Lounge. Riding the summer heat in Europe, she landed in the clubs of Barcelona, Madrid and Ibiza performing for the album Blue Marlin and at the restaurant-cabaret Lio, Pacha"s new business venture. For those who have not had the chance to hear her fine house selection during her tour dates in Argentina or elsewhere around the world, DJ Mina has a monthly two-hour program on Delta FM 90.3.and some invitations to be part of the creowd of ibizasonica.com radio station.
