She’s an internationally renowned DJ who has spun at some of the world’s top clubs and worked alongside electronic music legends like Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin and John Digweed. Her DJing and production have earned her accolades and awards, including “Best Breakthrough Underground DJ” at the UK Underground Music Awards. But while she could easily rest on her laurels, Misstress Barbara (born Barbara Bonfiglio in Sicily, Italy) is embarking on a whole new adventure with the release of I’m No Human, her first album as a songwriter – one that features contributions from Sam Roberts, Brazilian Girls and Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John.
“I’ve always been drawn to anything that’s different… I like challenges,” she says. It’s this spirit that drew her to the Air Cadets, where she learned to fly a Cessna at age 16, and led her to become a Ducati motorcycle rider. This adventurousness also convinced her to trade her first instrument, the drums, in for turntables and a mixer after watching underground DJs ply their craft. “I’m hungry for more knowledge in everything I touch. I thought it was very beautiful the way they were working and touching the vinyl.”
For I’m No Human, Misstress Barbara has drawn on her background in electronic music production, while infusing it with a new sensibility. Starting the songwriting process on piano and guitar inspired her to experiment with chord changes and overlay her minimalist beats with lush melodies. The album also finds her singing for the first time, and with her intoxicating space age femme fatale sound, it’s a happy development that was born out of unhappy circumstances.
