DJ Jen Kaye

I recently put together an exclusive 30 minute guest mix of some of my favourite tracks of the moment for “House of Grooves” radio show with Miss Kay Dee and Audiojacker.

If you missed hearing it the first time, you can listen here.

Last month I was busy in the studio with my fellow Coventry DJ, Mat Powell, coming up with our version of a house classic (and one of our personal favourites) by Danny Tenaglia & Celeda. Here is “Music Is The Answer”…

Currently smashing up the UK Top 40 chart and proving really popular in my DJ sets is Calvin Harris’ huge new electro-houser “Let’s Go” featuring Ne-Yo.

As a fan of both artists, I was excited to put my production skills to the test when I saw Beatport Play & Pepsi release a remix competition for this track. The winner will get “an opening spot for Calvin Harris at the official Pepsi show in Ibiza, plus 6 days and 5 nights of beach, sun, and clubbing at the amazing Ushuaia resort. Kick in the mix with a DJ lesson from the DJ Academy at Ushuaia, football on the beach and a VIP party with Calvin Harris.”

So here it is… my remix of “Let’s Go”.

It’s Valentines Day and with so much love to give, 2Faced brings you the love you seek with the latest mix; the Love Edition.

If you didn’t manage to get your hands on one of these CDs at the 2Faced Love Party on Saturday night, well now you can listen and download here.

Wow, hasn’t January flown by?! With New Years and Christmas a distant memory, we are now well on our way into 2012. Back in December I set myself a task to record a mix every month and I’m proud to say I’ve kept my promise. So here is my latest mix, the first in a new series of mixes called “Back 2 My House”. The next installment will be uploaded in February.

Event News:

My own event “2Faced” will be back in February for a love-themed party at Maison, Coventry. All the event details are on Facebook.

Also next month, I’ll be gracing the decks for the launch of new Coventry night “Una Teka“ at The Lounge, which aims to bring a sexy, stylish house vibe with a balearic party atmosphere to the city.

What we’re all talking about:

The biggest news in DJ land this week has to be about Simon Cowell’s plans to produce a DJ talent show similar to the X-Factor. The general opinion amongst my DJ peers is that such a high profile TV show aimed at a mass audience will feature “the wrong type of contestants” and not real DJ talent. There is also the question of how can you possibly judge such a large DJ contest, assuming that all styles of DJing and music are considered. Until the details are released about the show, there’s not much more I can say, but funnily enough I’ve just read today that London-based production company Free@Last TV are planning a rival contest “Superstar DJ” to take place over the summer in Ibiza.

So it looks like DJing will be getting a lot of recognition in 2012 which is a great thing in itself whether you enter these DJ contests or not.
But you know what they say… “you’ve got to be in it to win it”. Watch this space!
