Deborah Griffith

Debbie Griffith aka Feenix13 is one of the co-founders of Spiral Tribe – the radical underground sound system from London created at the end of 1990 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_Tribe). Her role was that of organiser as well as design and decoration of the spaces. When the sound system got chased out of Britain in 1992 and travelled to Europe, Debbie coined the word 'Teknival' to describe a new kind of festival event in France, with techno music being a central focus. At the end of the 1990s she fulfilled a similar role with 'Sound Conspiracy' which organised many huge and successful donation only parties in Italy, and then travelled overland with the sound system to India. Based near Marseille since 2000 she has been resident designer for the Audiotrix record label. In 2008 the creative core of Spiral Tribe formed SP23 (https://sp23.org/) and have been performing live together ever since. Debbie is the resident VJ. In 2015 with a french meditation teacher, she created 'Dharma Techno' (https://www.dharmatechno.org/en/), a new concept of silent meditation retreat with an evening of live Techno. This unusual and heartfelt project brings together the worlds of silent meditation and electronic music.
