Artist Bio

Vaccine is the production alias of Christine Clements. Having been involved with the promotions end of the industrial rock and IDM music scenes since she was a teenager, (as well as running drum & bass and dubstep record labels with her husband) writing her own music was a logical progression.

Drawing inspiration from synaesthesia and her melting pot of musical influences ranging from Portishead to Skinny Puppy, Vaccine carries a style that has been recognized as being considerably more melodic and not necessarily as dance floor orientated as her male cohorts. XLR8R magazine noted her subtle melodies and echoed vocals, as well as stating that her constructions aren’t necessarily main floor rave fodder, but rather, comedown music for the 6am afterhours. She is also notable for being the first female producer signed to a label in dubstep, Hotflush Recordings, within what was up until then a genre whose producers were almost, if not entirely, male. Her DJ mixes as well have attracted attention for their careful commitment to precise blends, mixing in-key, and unexpected multigenre inclusions.

Never one to be confined by formulas or tempo, as evidenced by her DJ mix selection, Vaccine has recently been slinging her talents further afield, partnering with elusive but lauded fashion designer Ernte on music for his runway shows, and garnering praise 30 bpm faster writing the melodic, IDM style of drum & bass, popularized by Instra:mental and dBridge’s Autonomic Podcast series. Additionally, Renoise, her sequencer weapon of choice in both the home studio and live PA setting, has been pushing her as the face of their site on their music player.

LABELS: Nonplus Records, Hotflush Recordings, Offshore Recordings
