MORENA
When did you begin DJ'ing and what made you start?
I started Dj'ing around six years ago and in all honesty it’s something I wish I had started sooner.
I have always had a love for music and considered DJ'ing from an early age but wasn’t completely sure how to get started. I held down corporate jobs but in my own time loved going to house parties and events and had a few friends that were DJ’s. I loved the vibe they brought to the party, the way music could get everyone up and dancing & being happy and I thought oh yes, I want to be part of that at some point. A friend of mine mention that they were starting A DJ course one day and I thought, this is my chance to get involved, the rest has been history...
What would you say influenced you towards House music?
Of the many genres of House, which are your favourite?
Which artists, producers and tracks stand out for you, both now and from the past?
Oh SO MANY SO MANY, it’s almost too hard to single them out. There are so many talented artists and producers out there, which is why House is such an amazing scene to be part of.
Name some highlights or a profound moment in your time as a DJ
One of the best moments for me was when I was asked to be a DJ for a friends wedding. Whilst I had done similar gigs before this was in a remote castle in the middle of Scotland. The vibe was crazy and I could see that my set and the music was the highlight of the wedding. The remoteness meant we partied all night. One of the longest but best sets I have ever played.
Another amazing event and highlight for me was a launch for the fashion brand Sandro in Regent Street. It was meant to be a small intimate event but once the tunes started playing people were drawn in from the street and it turned into something bigger and was just soo much fun.
Have you done any production? If not, is it something you aim to do?
Going on from that, what are your musical plans for the future?
