Description

In this episode, we dive into the story of Smokin' Jo, the trailblazing British DJ who changed the game for women in dance music. From the early '90s London rave scene to residencies at Ibiza’s legendary Space, Jo carved out her space in a male-dominated industry, armed with turntables, grit, and impeccable taste. She became the only female DJ to ever be crowned No. 1 by DJ Mag, played the world’s biggest clubs and festivals, and stayed true to her underground roots while remixing for acts like the Pet Shop Boys and Skunk Anansie. We also explore her powerful new memoir, You Don’t Need A Dick To DJ, where she opens up about growing up in care, navigating racism and sexism in nightlife, and her journey into spiritual healing. Whether you're a house head or just love a good story of resilience, this one’s for you. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
