Karinski.net

Karinski.net is a blog by me. I go by the pen name of Trixie Karinski in a barely working attempt to make my googlability a bit less full on and am totally obsessed with music. I’m a radio producer, pop music journalist, club DJ and slightly geeky blogging harlot.

Last year I made a documentary about Daft Punk for BBC Radio 1 which you can listen to here. It was awesome, and yes, I’ve seen their faces.

I’m really good at telling you about the latest Scandinavian pop star, making a dancefloor bounce, being competitive at pub quizzes, falling in unrequited love with men who 8 years later tell me they’re gay, dreaming of moving to America, still getting ID’d, hogging Singstar, drinking strawberry water and getting people to listen to awesome new music.

I work in radio, music journalism, club DJing and online and spend some time here writing about cool new things, and great music I’ve come across. I edit the music section of Londonist.com and write for the likes of BBC Music, Attitude & Orange Mobile. I am the former editor of hit40uk.com.

I love Girls Aloud, Gossip Girl, Torchwood, Pet Shop Boys, The Cardigans, romantic comedies, musicals, Angel, disco,  motown, Robyn, Kleerup, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Vampire Weekend, Maximo Park, Madonna, Dusty Springfield, random 80s synth pop, Rachel Stevens & Holly Valance’s 2nd albums, Ladytron, Neon Neon, The Pierces and shedloads of other stuff. Add me on last.fm.

I’ve been writing this blog for over 6 years, so yes there is some proper rubbish from wallowing university days if you dare to poke about in the archive.

I’s always open to new music, finding out things from you or new opportunities, so if you want to get in touch then email me on trixie@REMOVEkarinski.net
