In 2004, while living in Madrid, she starts Dirty Princess, a project that would hit the spotlight with their raw EBM sound and their provocative performances. Soon after, they will join the rooster of International Deejay Gigolo Records.

In 2008 life takes her back to Buenos Aires. This will mean the end of Dirty Princess and the beginning her solo career as Yasmin Gate.

Her sound, more eclectic now, is powerful and dancefloor oriented but with a more modern and personal feel. For her live performances she would incorporate a custom, never-seen-before instrument, the “Dsumi” (DS Unconventional MIDI Instrument) designed in Argentian by DS Digital Luthier.

In 2010 she goes back to Europe and starts showcasing her new material in venues like the Rex in Paris, Tresor in Berlin or the Gipsy Club in Moscow.

Now, she is presenting her new album “Dollhouse”. The nine-track output, shows her pop side in electronic music combined with inky washes of Trap and Hip Hop blips. The album was recorded in Berlin and produced by the electronic duo Dualesque.
