Stephanie J

Stephanie J is the newest recruit to the Hed Kandi resident roster, only the second female currently on the list, her initiation to the Hed Kandi family was incredibly unique.

Back in the spring of 2009, Hed Kandi launched a competition to find a brand new resident. Administered via the brand's social network Facebook, entrants had to not only submit mixes, but they also had to build a profile for themselves via the site, inviting fans on to vote and Hed Kandi experts in to listen, both online and at a number of their regular DJ spots across the country. Stephanie was a candidate that not only received the most votes but she also caught the eye and ear of Hed Kandi's A&R manager who saw her potential for the brand. In Oct 2009, Stephanie was crowned a Hed Kandi resident.

It was her style, personality and relentless enthusiasm that led to Stephanie being awarded the covetable position. Starting out as early as 14, Stephanie's long term love of mixing house music is evident when she plays. Her technical prowess on the decks is seamless, and the energy that she projects behind the turntables makes her perfect for Hed Kandi as she performs as well as plays for the crowd. Opting for an eclectic house sound, Stephanie's record bag can meet the demands of most international dancefloors as she is competent within soulful, electro and commercial house sets.

Since the launch of her residency Stephanie has travelled across the UK and the world playing at a number of Hed Kandi gigs including its recent residency a Pacha, London, Mission in Leeds, V in Bournemouth, Halo in Warrington and further afield at Hed Kandi's luxury Beach Bar in Hurghada.

Away from Steph's exciting schedule with Hed Kandi, she can also be found in the studio with partner Hannu, who under the name of Bootlegz, the duo work together on remixes, including unreleased material below.

The Bootlegz-Free From Desire, The Bootlegz-Love Train, Cars vs Hiding All The Stars (The Bootlegz)

Steph is also working on a number of independent productions.

The world really is at Steph's feet right now, with her dream come true residency with Hed Kandi, and her relentless enthusiasm for house music both on the decks and in the studio, things can only get bigger and better for this individual.
