Music is her life. Drum and Bass is her passion. Erica Munday, A.K.A. DJ Strife, has had a love for music for as
long as she can remember. It’s that feeling that when you close your eyes and simply
listen…the whole world disappears.

Strife’s involvement in the U.S. underground music scene started back in 1994 when she was only 14 and attended her first rave. After this one night she knew right then that this music was something that truly touched her
soul and would be a part of her life forever. She soon thereafter was going to every event on the east coast
that she could, which eventually lead her to her next natural step…promoting. She started
promoting for one of the largest event companies on the east coast, Park Rave Maddness. And by the time she was 16 she had
made enough contacts in the scene and wanted to continue going forward by learning how to
DJ – to be that person that controlled the crowd’s inner feelings by taking you on a journey with the music they wove together. At first by
playing fast-paced Hard Trance and Hard Acid music that got the crowd going, but eventually
at 19 while in college in New York for Audio Recording, switched to her
growing love for Drum and Bass.

2003 brought the way of House DJ, Fame and his Simply Bangin’ Productions which merged
Strife and Fame together for combined efforts in weekly events
in NYC. By joining a night of House and Drum and Bass music this allowed them
to bring both styles of music together in one place. Also in 2003 Strife got linked up with
all female crew Sister NYC (the NYC chapter of successful San Francisco group). Right away
this combination of all genre woman DJ’s and MC’s connected with her, and knew together
they could really make a dent in furthering woman and their place in Electronic music.
Being interviewed for Los Angeles collective Technotreff’s nationally distributed
“Girls of Techno” DVD also gave her a chance to speak her mind on the empowerment
on being a female DJ. Hosting and playing at events all the way from New York to Miami to 
Brazil to London and back again, Strife continues to
push the Drum and Bass sound that she strives for everyone
to hear and feel.

Strife's flow of Liquid Drum and Bass sounds infused with Brazillian flavor and vocal tunes make 
her track selection stream together with each blended mix. As well as being endorsed by keyboard company 
Korg, Strife has performed all over at such events as the DEMF, Detroit Electronic Music Festival, 
at renowned UK monthlies 
"Therapy Sessions" & “Metric”, alongside heavyweights 
such as High Contrast, Bad Company, Dylan, Loxy, & B Key, and most recently 
doing a week-long tour in 
Sao Paulo and Salvador, Brazil w/ dj’s such as 
Patife, Andy and Drumagick.  In addition, she has taken part at conventions in 
Nashville, TN for the NAMM show, at Madison Square Garden in her residence of NY 
for product demos, and in Miami for the WMC, Winter Music Conference, 
with Sister USA.
