Life

At the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, her programs SF-Beat on the then SFB 2 of the Sender Freies Berlin and later The Big Beat on Radio 4U , which were broadcast on Saturday evenings, had achieved cult status within the corresponding Berlin subculture . On the one hand, interested listeners informed themselves about musical innovations in the developing techno scene, on the other hand, the dates of sometimes illegal parties, such as the UFO , were also announced in their broadcasts. Among other things, she is credited with promoting appearances by new artists, sometimes against the resistance of the broadcasting company, and also ensuring that techno fans from the east and west of the city musically “on the same thing before the fall of the Berlin Wall Stand "were. Her Bavarian accent and the repeated slogan "Shut up and dance" (meaning: Shut up and dance ! ) Were striking .

Dietl ended her radio career when the youth programs of SFB and ORB merged to form Fritz . The slot was given to Marusha with her program Rave Satellite . Dietl moved to San Francisco and trained as a yoga teacher there in 2002 . In 2013 she appeared as a guest presenter on Radio Eins for several hours .
