2GirlDJs - doing it their way

" People either take us as they see us or they don't... we're honest and we know our stuff - we are DJs..."

2GirlDJs aka Emma and Natalie

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.
