We’re finally getting our heads around the fact that it’s 2016 and we’re about to usher in a new era of fresh monthly mixes and with fond memories of last year’s Grey Marle Music residency, we’ve tapped another local collective to soundtrack the coming 12 months. The ladies that make up CRXZY SXXY CXXL get parties started on the regular, facilitating the turn-up at clubs and festivals all over Melbourne. Founded by MIMI and Jade Zoe, the crew now boasts a strong squad of DJs specialising in tracks that will get your A on the D-floor.

We wanted to get to know the crew a little better, so we got them to answer a few questions and first off the mark is professional party starter MIMI. Every month, the ladies will be bringing you the bangers in exclusively curated mixes. Keep an eye out for Mimi’s January mix coming very soon.

What’s your real name, not your DJ name? Real name is actually MIMI but changed it a few years ago from the much more exotic and only ever used when in trouble from my parents: MIRJANA.

Okay but also what is your DJ name? MIMI

 What are your Top 3 songs (to spin or listen to) right now? I’ve included a bunch of these tracks in my mixtape but currently into:
– ‘Roll The Bass’, Major Lazer
– Sorrynotsorry but still into ‘Sorry’, Justin Bieber
– And I’ve been OBSESSED with Metallica’s ‘Seek & Destroy’ of late haha.

By night I DJ, by day I… DJing and running parties is my full time job. By day I’m my own admin girl.

The #1 thing on my rider would be… Mangoes

My ideal hype man (dead or alive) would be… ‘90s Anthony Kiedis.

If you had to choose one, would you be crazy, sexy, or cool? Crazy. A combo of Scary and Ginger Spice kind of crazy.

Describe your personal aesthetic in three words or less. Rock & roll

My spirit emoji is… If you’ve updated your iPhone then the new \m/ devils horns. But I’m also a regular tongue/water dripping combo which for me is the ‘froth’ emoji combo.

My favourite post-gig meal is… I try to not eat so late at night haha

You can see me spin IRL next at…
