About DJ Particle

DJ Particle is an openly lesbian comedy and satire music DJ and performer who bills herself as the "RIAAcidal Lesbian Parodist".

Between May 1995 and August 1997, and since October 2005, she has been the host of "Revenge of the Particle", which originally aired on WOMR-FM in Provincetown, Massachusetts and currently airs on Dementia Radio. She also has been the current host of the "Mad Music Dementia Top 20" streamcast since January 11, 2008. Both shows have affiliates in Dementia Radio (ROTP's flagship), The Mad Music Archive (DT20's flagship), and LoudCity's Demented Radio.

Since 1983, after first hearing of Dr. Demento, she has been trying her hand at writing parody lyrics of popular songs, much like "Weird Al" Yankovic (her original inspiration) or the great Luke Ski (who she counts as her current inspiration). Although she has not released any of her lyrics from that far back, she has released lyrics that she wrote as early as 1987.

In December 2005, she started recording some of her parody songs which later appeared on her first album Shiny Round Thing Inside.

She has performed as an opening act for Sudden Death at Marscon 2006, as a featured performer at Marscon 2007, and as the host of the Dementia Fan Showcase since Marscon 2008. She was also a featured performer on the Minneapolis stop of the 2007 "Over The Rainbow" tour organized by synth-pop artist Lolly Pop.

She is also an club-style DJ, having done short DJ shifts at the former Club Semesters in Ithaca, New York (under the training of DJ Vinny Marrero of TC Music) and Ithaca College radio station WICB in the fall of 1994, and having released a CD-length set in 2005, and numerous mash-ups, most of which appear as freebies on her webiste. She currently DJs on Second Life twice weekly at Happy Clam Island's "Organica" venue.
