Early life[edit]
Teenager AniMe was drawn to a wide range of electronic music early on including progressive, techno, trance, hardcore, and techno. At seventeen she decided to learn to deejay and began performing as DJ Eklipze, forming the duo Radioactive with longtime friend, DJ Metod. Together they were resident DJs at a small club outside of Milan and after a couple of years were offered a slot at the ECU Club in Rimini. They caught the attention of Grammy Award-nominated producer Luca Pretolesi who proposed that they join the D-Boy Black Label which, at the time, was one of the more important Italian hardcore labels. During those early years, AniMe (as DJ Eklipze) was the only female DJ/producers active in Italy. AniMe was signed to "Traxtorm Records" in 2010 and joined the prestigious DJ agency "Most Wanted DJ" in 2016. Currently, AniMe holds the record for the largest discography among female producers in Hardcore, Hard Dance, and Hardstyle music.
