As a DJ, she is well-known for bringing truly sublime tracks together with flawless precision... Gemma owned her first decks in 2003 - her beloved Technics 1210's. It wasn't until late 2008, she finally decided to master the decks, and learnt the art of DJing. In October 2008 she invested in her Pioneer CDJ1000 mk3's. She was an early starter on the clubbing scene, starting her clubbing in 1993 and discovering Cream in 1996. It was there that she first encountered Paul Oakenfold, resident DJ at that time! " Oakey blew my mind on a regular basis, and I was mesmorised by the whole atmosphere and swiftly became hooked on the whole scene!" Gemma takes a lot of Inspiration from her favourite DJ's and styles, and is always inspired by DJ James Zabiela and his crazy skills! She is always trying to up her game and learn new skills, to keep her mixes and sets exciting! Gemma then entered the world of promoting and organised charity House night "Aural Pleasure" in February 09. All proceeds went to Breast Cancer Care. The night gained support from local and International DJs such as David Dunne (Galaxy Radio/Hed Kandi) who played at the event, and DJs like K-Klass and Jon Fitz who offered promo support and prizes! In Auguest 2009,Gemma organised the dance tent at "Mozfest" in Mossley Lancs. The event attracted over 8000 people of the course of the weekend. Gemma's headline set, had the tent crammed to the rafters, with revelers climbing on top of each other and dancing on what ever they could stand on! This was to date, the best gig Gemma had experienced from the other side of the decks, and one she hopes to replicate each time she plays. A very special guest VJ also jumped onboard. Fresh from Global Gathering, providing the back drop fro none other than Gemma's idol, Mr James Zabiela , and Carl Cox and people like Sander Kleinenberg- Mark Vity, of Ghost Visuals flew in from Ireland, just to provide some amazing visuals for the evenings set's! More recently, Gemma has gained the ESSTIGE DJ OF THE MONTH crown for Aug 09. Having noticed all the hard work, determination and passion she displays! Gemma is already receiving a lot of interest from promoters abroad for International gigs ! "I play a very eclectic mix, and basically think genres can be very stifling! If it sounds shit hot..it sounds shit hot! I play it! haha Genres create rules, and i love to break rules!" She loves Prog house/Prog Breaks/House/Tech-House/Minimal Tech/Techno/Electro - she likes to call it 'Eclectronic music'!

A real original sound in your sets of which i have heard 3 now and been mightly impressed each & everytime, big things ahead i dare say!!! ;-)" International DJ/Prducer Petrae Foy (One of Carl Cox's Fav DJs), recently was so impressed with how long Gemma had been mixing, and how much potential she had, that he came round to her house for a one on one session. To show her some amazing tricks, and help her take it to another level. November 09 is shaping up to be a very exciting month. Gemma will be hitting the studio, with good friend, and amazing DJ talent, Steff Smith.

She's still an avid clubber, and love's to get in the thick of it, when da
