Her function was to monitor the nightlife of Amsterdam and to build bridges between local politicians, entrepreneurs, artists and their audience.

Magneet is a crowd-sourced festival that uses an online co-creation platform in order to assist in the programming of the event, a pioneering concept in Europe. They also have a leave no trace policy. For the 4th time a row Isis is co-owner and creative director electronic of Magneet Festival.
In 2011, Isis received ‘the lifetime achievement’ GK Award. In April 2012, Isis celebrated her 20th year as a professional DJ at a sold-out event in Paradiso (Amsterdam). This marked a milestone in her career, making her one of the first professional and successful female DJs in the global dance culture.
Throughout her career as a DJ, she has performed in remarkable venues and for exceptional occasions, for instance as support act for a private concert of Prince in 1993, presenting her work to His Royal Highness Prince Willem Alexander in 2009, playing for 100.000 people at the Climate Summit in Copenhagen in 2010 and performing at the official unification ceremony of Croatia with the European Union.
