 Natalie
and Emma |
Feisty
words - but then in the male dominated world of DJ'ing its no good
being a girl who hides her light under the proverbial.
If
you want to make it, be taken seriously and have credibility, then
the game has to be played with a different bag of marbles and for
two sisters from Manchester this is no contest!
As
they told Debbie Troops,from the comfort of Natalie's living
room, they've been playing vinyl for a long time and their latest
venture as a duo - 2GirlDJs -is just an extension of their
successful solo careers.

Natalie
says " I started out when my boyfriend was doing a bit of DJ'ing...
I went out to Greece with him where I got paid loads less than the
men but it was good training for me... it went from there really
but I was never that serious 'cos I had my career and other things
going on... but this time it's different..."

Emma
says " I first got on Natalie's decks when I was 14 and then
when I was 15, I got my first residency in Manchester...I've played
all over Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester and I just love it...
I took a bit of a break for a while 'cos I was doing a bit too much
but now I really am looking forward to what we're doing together."
Which
is proving, that being female and a vinyl spinner is neither a bonus
nor a problem. "We have such a good time when we play together
and I think that's why people like us, " says Natalie, "I
don't think they look at us as girls first and DJs second - "
"Well
they might, "Emma interrupts, "but once they hear us they
change their minds... our sound is chunky house with dark undertones
we want to do something a bit different..."
"Yeah...
it's time for a breath of fresh air... time for a change and that's
what we are..." Natalie adds.
