Konkrete Jungle Chicago presents DJ Sage (UK) Friday, February 27, 2009 Cafe Lura 3184 N. Milwaukee, Chicago, Illinois Cost: $5-$7 with Jim K GC Subverb MC Anti

Perhaps it was her musical training or just innate ability, but it was apparent from the start that Laura Totten aka, Sage’s musical sensibilities made her an exceptional DJ. Having started her musical endeavors at the age of 4, the first instrument Sage played was the piano. Her love of music, and talent had her soon graduating to the violin at the age of 6. Drums later became her instrument of choice as she began playing in punk bands in Ireland, where she spent most of her youth. Having worked in record stores, played in jazz and indie rock bands, she has always had an appreciation for all musical genres. From Choir to Music College, it was seemingly pre-destined that Sage would choose a career in music.

For many years (1997 - 2003), Sage was closely connected with the skateboard community. Her first connection being with “Circa Foorwear” as one of their first DJ sponsorees. In 1999 she was approached by the worlds largest skate shoe company “DC Shoes: and asked to join their team of DJ’s. They’ve featured her in 2 ads, co-designed a dj bag with Dieselboy and modeled for them in their international buyers catalogue. She was even presented with a very rare DC shoes logo ring.

For over 7 years from 1997 to 2004 she frequently toured Europe gaining devoted fans every time she played. The United states in which she helped pioneer the sound of drum n bass music she was playing on a week to week/day to day basis in different towns and cities nationwide.

In 2004 after touring constantly and the feeling the effects of the unfortunate passing of her father, Sage needed a well deserved break. She decided stop taking bookings and to take a few years off from djing and travelling and focus on herself and various other interests and hobbies that were put on the backburner while her popularity began to peak as a DJ. She rediscovered how much she enjoyed different aspects of her musical training and played in a few rock bands, singing and playing drums as well as working on acoustic and electronic music both as a performer and songwriter. She now realizes the importance of balancing her musical career and interest with othe aspects of her life and finds making music refreshing and exciting again. With this renewed energy, in 2008 she has decided to travel again, and has regained a new perspective on DJing and to the delight of her still loyal following has decided to take bookings again.

Now residing in Belfast N. Ireland (UK) with her mother. She intends to focus her time on song writing/production and is actively producing Techno and various other forms of music from indie rock to dubstep.

She and her record label business partner, Susie Lee (San Francisco) are giving their label “Phylum Recordings” life again this coming year. Stay tuned.
