We Are Geisha

I'll be playing at Cargo in East London this coming Friday. This is a fairly new night run by DJ's Lottie and Suze Rosser. It's a night intent of showing off female talent and always seems to be hitting the right balance of experienced and up and coming names. There really are so many women turning their hands and hearts to this dark art and it's kind cool to celebrate this.

But you don't have to be lady to party. Everyone is welcome so get down there and show your support!

I'll be playing the closing set 1:30 to 3 am, and I'm expecting to go out in a Xmas Bash style.

The Last Heroes ( of the year ; )

Yes, it's the end of 2012 and the last heroes is upon, and we intend to go out with a boom! As you can see the line-up is massive, yet again. I'm playing the main room from 1 till 3am. ( which is a happy slot for me ; ) I'm home friday night right now sorting through tons of new fresh music to unleash. I feeling like the last set at heroes of 2012 needs to be well, a bit epic. Hope you can get down to join us! ✌

Live on BE-AT.TV

I did a Live set for Geisha on be-at.TV last week. If you haven't already, check out their awesome site.

I've only just seen the footage back myself, I always find it hard to watch myself! Although BE-AT had an great studio in the heart of Soho, it was about 2 degrees outside and the studio was roasting hot, even the fan which blew my hair in every which way couldn't even help! Nope, no hair and make-up crew on this set! Friends and fellow female DJ's Hanah Holland, Suze Rosser and Anna Wall were on before me and were in the studio drinking prosecco while I played, hence the bit of slient banter. It was a party set, in an awakwardly hot atmosphere, but hope you enjoy as much as I did!

After doing this I have decided there will be more, bigger, better, and liver video footage soon! ; ) Here is a link to my set JoJo De Freq Live on BE-AT.TV

I you're a fan please go ahead and leave your comments.

Heroes Futuristic Birthday Ball

This Saturday is Heroes' 1st birthday since it's reincarnation at Egg lead by promoter Jim Warboy. I was made resident DJ in Dec 20011 and if you've been one of our regulars I think you'll agree that so much has evolved at the club, and the night, in just one year. I'll be playing a special birthday set in the main room from 1-3 and we will be joined by a truly wicked crew of guests to help commence into year two with style. Hot off the tours supporting Lana Del Rey and Azealia Banks Zebra Katz will be performing live. Since I've heard nothing but phenomenal reviews on his multi-media-art-infused performances, I'll be sure to catch this. Techno don,Oscar Mulero will be playing his updated deeper sounds after me in the main room. And we have my long time good friend and LDN DJ Heroine Hannah Holland joining us fresh from a NY tour and launching her new imprint, NativeCity last month. I've also heard there will be vodka jelly shots served throughout the night by painted ladies/boys while you can get 'em!

This will be a massive night. Get down there if you can.

Playing The Heroes

I'm really excited about is month's Heroes. The city is buzzing with olympc fever, and positioned to prove that I'm a true sportswoman in my game, I'll be playing the headline set from 2:30 to 4:30 in the middle room at Egg. Joining us in the downstairs room this month will be Greg Threshor and one of my personal faves, Reset Robot. Friday night will host Felix Da Housecat, for which you can buy special priced 'weekender' tickets. We have an influx of international visitors (like you haven't already noticed!) and with this line-up tix are sure to be selling fast. It's going to be a massive weekend. Hope to see you there!

Venus Rising

Here is a taste of my current summer sound. It's a deep and compact balearic-tech workout. You can find the full track-list on my Mixcloud page. I'd love to hear your thoughts/comments. x

Celebrating Bastille Day @ Heroes

Insert a very "drole" french revolution joke here. Yes, July the 14th is Bastille Day and we'll be celebrating at Heroes this month with Sebastian Leger joining as headliner and some other fabulous Frenchy guests. Hope to see you there mon amie. Bisous!

360〫Fever Geneva

I'll be playing in Geneva this Saturday the 9th @ 360〫Fever. I really don't know much about the club other than it's big and gay, two things I'm quite happy about ; ) And after having a very civilized and sober Jubilee weekend (I must be in the minority) I'm looking forward to some Swiss swish and a banging the beats for Queen and country!

I've Run Out Of Hero Title Puns

For now anyways ; } ..........Yes, another night of Heroes is upon us. I'll be playing before Shadow Child from 12:30 to 2:30. Shadow Child is Dave Spoon's new guise. He has a pretty amazing discography behind him and his Rustic Chip/String Thing on Dirty Bird is currently, well, a bit of a massive hit. I'm really looking to this tonight, although it's normally a tough weekend for people to get out post bank holiday, it's the first sunny weekend we've had in aaaaages, and the much needed Vitamin D is raising spirits, hopefully the music will too ♥ ; }

Suara Showroom at Heroes

Super excited to be playing alongside KiNK this Saturday at Heroes, not to mention, Egg will be hosting a Suara 'Showrom' with label mates Uner and Coyu. I've been loving a lot of Suara records this year, not only for their beautifully illustrated cat cover-art, but for consistently releasing bassy-warm-groove-drenched-floor-filling-tech-house like 'Bubblegun' by Danny Serrano and WestBoy which is featured on my latest DJ Mix (below). So lots lots to look forward to then.....; }

Please enjoy my new mix for April. You can find the full track list on my Mixcloud page. Love to hear your thoughts, comments....xJ

360〫Dubai

I'll be playing in Dubai this this Thursday the 22nd at 360° Bar. Set at the end of its very own pier, the heli-pad shaped outdoor venue has (hence the name!) panoramic views of Dubai’s coastline. Apparently this club has the most amazing views and you really feel like you're on a yacht in the ocean. I'm so exited, it's been so long since I've been somewhere tropical by the ocean, and playing an outdoor venue is always my fave : } ♥

Hero Worship

Massive line-up at Heroes this month. Not on the flyer, we also have my dear friend Xo Chic (one half of ex-Dollz At Play) joining us at the last min after playing the ridiculously big Superfreak 10th birthday bash at Paramount last Saturday. What more can I say? Last month you could not get in the room I was playing. Just get down there. Early. ; } ♥

The ♥ Mix

Because everyday should be ♥ day. Because I ♥ making music, mixes, mischief and ♥. Because ♥ is the message. Because my life is music and music is ♥. Because most of all, I ♥ to ♥ you baby, and know that you ♥ it!

Ahem, now that I've all that out of my system, please enjoy this months offering. Full tracklists available at my My Mixcloud page

Spinning the Web

It's been a looooooong time coming.....My jojodefreq.com is finally up and running again! Since social media has taken over the world, my website has developed into more of a directory of the various web spaces that I'm active on. Eventually, this too will evolve. But for now it's all about bold simplicity. x

BTW the site is also optimized for mobiles ; )

I Need A Hero!

It's Heroes time again, this month it falls over Valentine's weekend (or as close as) so Egg are hosting a special pop up dinner! I'll be there playing 2-4am in the middle room. Last month was so much fun, the crowd had such a huge energy. Already well underway, I'm expecting to see more great changes at Egg this year. I hope to see you there. x

Twenty Twelve

Please enjoy my first offing of the year Twenty Twelve. It's going to be a very busy year, with plans to take over the universe, or rather take over my universe : )

This is the beginning........

We Could be Heroes

........Recklessly collide unique creative characters with high caliber musical talent and you directly challenge the established boundaries of clubbing. Big line-ups don't have to mean a faceless, generic club experience and glamorous events can have incredible soundtracks. This is the philosophy at the heart of Heroes, the latest multi sensory adventure in Partyland to hatch from maverick club destination Egg.............

I'll be playing this Saturday January 14th 2012 @ Egg, London 2-4am before the prolific Systematic label boss Marc Romboy (I'll have to remember to take all of his records out of my box before I play, it would be rude not too ;)

See you there!!!
