Music played an important part in
La.Di.Da´s life since her early childhood. She went to the Music
school and to the School for Latin American Dance for three
years. But she could attract attention at first in another way.
At the age of 16-19 she was working as an international
respected model. Around 1995 she got in touch with the owner of
Delirium record store in Zurich, who helped her discovering her
deep love for music again. At this time the first techno club in
Prague opened and, as Linda says in her own words, she was at
the right time at the right place.
Thus one could admire the first Czech woman behind the decks
with the unbelievable charisma at first techno club in Prague
Radost FX. Here she played from the beginning with well known
dj´s as Jeff Mills, Carl Cox, Westbam, Laurent Garnier,Dj Hell..
and so she was able to develope her distingtive, precise mixing
style and with that she left an permanent impression to many top
stars of the club scene. In 1996 she was invited to Mayday
Germany and could present her idea of energetic, melodic groovy
techno music on three decks to the german crowd. The wellknown
electronic music mag "Frontpage" elected her to the "3rd best
international newcomer dj" in 1997 and since that she´s been
playing constantly at the Love Parade
The very same year she started her first projects as a producer
with two E.P.´s and an album on her own former "Lasergirl" label.
Since 1997 La.Di.Da is a member of the jackfruit)))
international artiste republic who supported her with shows in
France, Belgium, Italy, Croatia, Austria, Spain, Norway, USA...to
name a few places, including residencies at Oxa and Sensor club
in Switzerland.
The major label London Records / ffrr signed La.Di.Da in 1998,
but artist and label had different positions on the musical
output and so there was unfortunately no release in the
following two years. With remarkable gigs in clubs and at
various European festivals such as Nature One,Hannover
parade,Love parade,she could establish her fame as an
international accepted dj. With the release of the "Mundo E.P."
on Mueller Records in 2001 she captured again the hearts and of
course the cases of the international dj elite with a percussive
masterpiece. This records got one of the most successful
releases of the label and the track "Lifemaster" was licensed by
many favoured dj - mix compilations, as “Essential Underground∏,
“Marusha - Non Stop∏, “Dance Valley # 8∏, "John Acquaviva Mix
CD" and “Amnesia - Get Into Summer 2002∏...etc. Her grown
experience and the influence of friends like Marco Carola and
Gaetano Parisio appears in the release of the "Bullet E.P." on
Ben Long´s Potential label. With this record she presents an awe-inspiring
combination of hard, deep, energetic techno beats and the
