DJ Questionnaire Feb 2001: DJ Jolie

When did you start Djing

Professionally in 1996

What was the first record you bought

Donna Summers greatest hits when I was 10 years old. I bought it from a car boot sale for 50p

Who influenced you to become a DJ

Lisa Loud was my influence. I saw her play at a local club and I thought she represented the few female DJ's around at the time well.

Who is your favourite DJ of all time

I have a few. Lady Spirit for the most liveliest sets, Timmi Magic for the tightest mixes and DJ Hermit for the most upfront tune selection of all time.

If you weren't a DJ what would you have done

I would probably still be working for a film company in London

What or where was the best set you ever played

The most enjoyable was Freedom @ Bagleys in August 2000. They were the most up for it and responsive ravers I've ever played to and I loved every minute of it.

What is the best venue you have ever played in

Volksgarten in Vienna, Austria. It was in the middle of the city and opposite the Winter Gardens where Hitler made his infamous speeches. The club was fantastic.

Have you made any records

I have my own studio and I've made plenty of tunes, but I've never released anything. I will when I'm 100% happy with my work.

What advice would you give to a new DJ starting out

Create your own style, take the lead, practice hard and you'll get there eventually
