Mizz Maxine (Melanie Maxine Doucet) has been gaining recognition as one of NB's Diva's on the Decks since she started out in 1999. Having caught the funk bug after moving from northern New Brunswick to live with some of the Maritimes' best DJs in 1998 (David Anthony, Dale Manette, and Randall Cottreau aka Magic Friend), this proved to be an infectious learning experience for her as an aspiring DJ and ever since she has been enthralled by the world of electronic music. Mizz Maxine made her debut at the classic 'Quake' parties in Moncton, N.B, and draws inspiration from artists such as Fort Knox Five, Wikked Lester, MSTRKRFT, Dimitri from Paris, Collette, Miguel Migs, Alden Brown, and her friends from Atlantic Canada, especially other female DJs such as SoundSyster, Sugar, and Isis.
She headlined her first party at Saint John's Melt in Spring of 2003 alongside her partner in crime, Dj Sugar, and has been playing at various major events and club nights throughout the Maritimes ever since, including the Evolve Festival 2004-2006, Shoreline Festival in PEI 2004, Regular rotation with Ultrasound @ Fusion Afterhours 2004-2006, FNSC Fridays at Reflexions, Revolution NYE 2006 party in Moncton, the Hatiras show at the Marquee in December 2004, The Paramount Lounge and club Rouge in Moncton to name a few.
Mizz Maxine's style, though grounded in house, has evolved throughout the years and always keeps changing, from Deep beats to Disco, French Filtered to classic 70's funk, 80s music and rock (and some chunky funky breaks for fun), this girl knows how to rock tha shows and always thrives on the pure funkiness that underlines her style.
