As well as her DJing schedule both in Ibiza and the UK this year Sophie has also been concentrating on the production of her 2 forthcoming releases -Fearing Nothing and Angelz. Fearing Nothing (co-produced with @Vicky Devine) was produced in Holland earlier this year with dutch trance label F-Active. After having received a good response in Ibiza this summer, the tune is due for UK and European release imminently. Angelz, which was produced last year in England is due for release with Solar Records early next year.
Sophie has her own Friday night mix slot on Fire 107.6 FM covering the Bournemouth and Poole area and is also presenting her own show on Sunday nights.

All time top 3 tunes: This is always such a hard question as I have always loved all types of music and there are thousands of amazing tunes out there, but within the dance music genre, these 3 are special to me for different reasons...
- Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (this is an all time classic that I have loved since it first ever came out!)
- Baby - Let me be your Fantasy (although this has been completely over played over the years, i can honestly say that it was the first tune that got me interested in dance music at the tender age of 14 - I rushed out and bought it on vinyl because I loved it so much!)
- Cygnus X - the Orange Theme (this is a brilliant trance piece of trance and is the first tune i played at my first ever gig and therefore means a lot to me)
- Worst DJing moment: playing at an open air event in boiling sunshine with food poisoning & ended up playing the wrong mix of a record which had this really (and I mean really )long, gospelly breakdown & everyone just sort of stopped dancing and looked up at the DJ box - all my friends were pissing themselves!!
- Would most like to play: Main Room, Amnesia, Ibiza
- Most enjoyable set you've played: The Big Reunion 2002
- When you're not DJing you're: juggling a million and one other things!
