JANE FITZ
 
Jane Fitz began DJing back in the early 90s, spinning a mix of rare
groove, funk and soul at a variety of clubs and parties, including the
infamous Shake It Baby Shake It parties in north London. From there she
progressed to guesting around London at places such as the Jungle
Studios and the Conservatory. However, after six years spinning jazzy
sounds, Jane decided it was time for a change. 

Work commitments took her to Hong Kong, and it was there she fell into
playing house. 'I was going to some mad parties in Hong Kong, unlike
anything I'd been to back in London,' she recalls. 'I'd always liked
house, but I couldn't believe I'd missed so much music.' Fired up, she
headed to New York with her credit card, and came back to Hong Kong
months later with a whole new stack of records. Quickly switching
styles, she was soon offered a residency as one of the founding DJs at
Hong Kong's only underground house night, Robot. Next up came regular
guest spots around town at Bar City, Hong Kong Stadium, CE Top, and Club
Star, and a residency at Club 97. 

At the tale end of the 90s, Jane returned to London. After a few guest
spots at the now defunct Project, she decided the only way to get decent
gigs in a country from which she'd been away for so long was to start
her own night. And Peg was born. Offering up chilled vibes, friendly
faces and sexy underground house music, Peg became an instant hit. And
the buzz has been growing ever since.

Now based back in London, Jane plays a hard-to-pin-down mix of house
music. 'I can mix it up, but the core of my set is sexy, tripped-out
music with funky basslines, minimal techy sounds, strange noises and
loads of heart. I call it tech-soul, cos it can embrace everything from
deep techno to chunky tech house to warm deep house to cool, vocally
bootlegs. It seems to move crowds as much as it moves me.' 

And it's a mix that seems to be working. Jane has guested at legendary
underground house nights up and down the country, such as Wiggle,
Kerfuffle, Coalesce, Black Sheep, Freefunk, Chunky and for the Subsdance
Sound System, as well as appearing at Herbal, Mass, The Fortress, Fluid,
the White Horse and the Rhythm Factory, among many others. She's also
been called overseas to man the decks in France (at the Youtapo
festival), Croatia, Malaysia, Singapore and, where she calls 'my other
home crowd', Hong Kong.

Respected just as much for her eye for talent as her DJing skills, Jane
is also a regular writer and reviewer for magazines such as DJ, 7update,
Muzik, IDJ and The Face, and can often be heard on radio stations
Groovetech, Pulse radio and Gaialive. This year, Jane also guested for
the first time on London's Kiss FM. She's also recently been in the
studio, so watch out for forthcoming releases under the Mo-Fi Sounds
moniker, as well as releases under her own name. 

'I've been pretty busy lately, but there's so much more I want to do,'
she says about her burgeoning music career. 'For me, playing music is
giving away a piece of yourself every time you get behind the decks. If
that creates a great crowd reaction, then that shows you're doing
something right, and that it's from your heart and soul.'
