Our first guest of 2021 is multi-talented Estelle Rubio! A DJ, Producer, singer/songwriter and self-confessed music tech geek with Latin heritage, Estelle tells us about her work with Basement Jaxx, Native Instruments, as well as her unique project 'Bow Balearic Beat' where she has teamed up violinists Gita Langley & Jessie Murphy - an innovative and stylish collaboration of DJ, Beats and live strings!

In this episode, we hear a whole bunch of unreleased new music from Estelle - from progressive tech-house, to meditation music, violin based vocal house to a deep house mix to round off the show. Estelle tells us about her journey into music and her self-confessed 'schizophonia' and how her aim is to 'bring the glamour to the geek' in busting sterotypes and being a role model to show that girls can be glam, gorgeous AND techy. We chat motherhood, age, networking, confidence, and much more - full show notes are available on the ItKoS blog at www.inthekeyofshe.org

Our guest for this episode is Johannesburg based René King, who’s been producing Drum & Bass since her early teens, and started DJing so she could play her music to the masses! René is one of a growing number of D&B DJs in South Africa. and one of only 10 fxmale artists to be part of the Hospital Records producer mentoring programme. In this show, she talks to Sam Warren about how that’s going for her so far, the drum & bass scene in SA, and she’s full of super useful pieces of advice for anyone starting out in production, one of which is to be patient and bide your time! While her soundcloud page is full of cracking tracks (and we feature several in this show) she has yet to release on a label. We’re pretty sure she’s going to go far when she does!

Mali Larrington-Nelson AKA Shy One lives and breathes the eclecticism and diversity of her DJ sets and productions. Having started off DJing on pirate radio at 13 years old, Shy One has been exposed to and influenced by the full spectrum of sounds her hometown of London has birthed and nurtured over the years. As with many teenage Londoners at the time, grime and the wider family of indigenous London club music was what gave Shy One the passion to pursue music as more than a pastime. Obsessively collecting white labels by some of her local production heroes quickly developed into obsessively making beats in Fruity Loops for a plethora of different crews and MCs bubbling up in Harrow, the North West London borough she grew up in. Undeterred by those in the scene who called her beats “weird” or “different”, Shy One ploughed on carving out her own sound which eventually caught the ear of Scratcha DVA, who went on to release the Decaffeinated Love EP and her debut LP, Bedknobs and Boomkicks, on his now renowned DVA Music imprint.

Since her initial releases with Scratcha, Shy One has continued to grow as an artist and diversify further into a somewhat undefinable sound that’s origins are undoubtedly London but take in a huge variety of musical cultures, from hip-hop and jazz to house music and West London’s own brokenbeat movement – all of which are well represented on her various radio shows across stations like Balamii, NTS and Rinse FM. As well as DJing and releasing music more recently on labels like Diskotopia and Through My Speakers, Shy One is also a resident DJ and part of London’s BBZ and Touching Bass collectives – two forward thinking groups of artists, DJs, and activists that strive to create a space for London’s marginalised LGBTQI+ and POC communities respectively through art, music and culture.

We are back with Madame Electrifie (aka Little Jo) talking about her glittering DJ career and journey into production with her band Cassini Circles. Fusing the best vintage beats with the best of the modern age; Madame Electrifie takes classic grooves and threads through everything from hip hop, to house, breaks and drum and bass to create a raucous dance floor focused party, all with that distinctive driving sound that’s a firm nod to her breaks and tech roots missed with plenty of funk, fun and nonsense on the way.

In 18 years on the decks, she's played some of the UK’s leading venues across the years, from Ministry to Turnmills, and has graced many of the leading London warehouse parties supporting some of the biggest names in electronic music over the years across all spectrums of the dance music world including The Stanton Warriors, Jon Carter, Elite Force, A Skillz, , Annie Nightingale, Rob Da Bank, Krafty Kuts, and a whole host of bands.

In contrast, her band Cassini Circles are a electronica act featuring vocalist Shannon Kait and producers Jo Burns (Madame Electrifie) and Yoshe Watson. Their music takes a journey through dark brooding basslines and haunting vocal melodies, through electronica, trip hop and house. Influenced by the energy of the dancefloor combined with the ambience of the after party, it’s a heavy blend taking in influence from everything from jazz to dub.
