Magda is one of the most acclaimed DJs Richie Hawtin's Minus camp has given rise to in recent years. Born and raised in the Polish town of Zywiec, Magda's parents moved to the US when she was nine - first to Texas, then to Detroit, where one of Magda's revelatory musical experiences consisted of an early Plastikman live PA. Magda took up a job at famous record store Record Time, began organising a regular club night with Dan Bell and Claude Young as residents, and it wasn't before long that the two asked her to warm up for them. Inspired by her mother, who is an artist, she decided to study Graphic Design in New York state but soon realised music was the most natural medium of expression for her. Nevertheless, this abstract influence can still be found in her music production, juxtaposing warm, thick swathes of sound with jagged little hi hat patterns, sometimes lazy, sometimes clinical but always purposeful and expressive.
