Sophie Sugar

BiographySophie started DJing 4 years ago through her love of trance music and has since played at clubs throughout the UK and Europe including three successful seasons in Ibiza. 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. The show is called Circumference and is on from 9-11 on Sunday nights and can be listened to on Sky channel 894, or at www.sbn.co.uk or on most student radio stations across the country.

Her individual style incorporates trance of all kinds - ranging from progressive and uplifting stuff through to tough twisted techno!! Q&AFrom: Kent Year of birth: 1977 Management Agency: Flipside Residency: Charlys Angelz Bookings Contact: Flipside No. of records: 2,000 Started playing: 1999 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! Favourite DJ: Matt Hardwick Favourite Venue: In England, Camden Palace In Ibiza, Amnesia Favourite Promotion: Godskitchen Favourite Producer: Push Favourite Label: Black Hole Biggest Influence: My fiancé, Greg! Drink: Vodka and diet coke or a good old bottle of champers if I'm feeling outrageous! Non-music pastime: writing/presenting Words of wisdom: Never give up on your dreams - you only have one life! If you could change the colour of the sky what colour would it be?: Pink Did you ever fancy your dinner lady at school?: only on Fridays!
