Show Notes
This is a radio show, presented by Sam Warren to showcase the music and stories of female, female identifying and non-binary electronic music producers as they navigate their way through a very male dominated world. Each episode includes an in-depth, heartfelt interview with several of the guest's own productions, all rounded off with a guest mix.
Our guest for this episode is Johannesburg based René King, who’s been producing Drum & Bass since her early teens, and started DJing so she could play her music to the masses! René is one of a growing number of D&B DJs in South Africa. and one of only 10 fxmale artists to be part of the Hospital Records producer mentoring programme. In this show, she talks to Sam Warren about how that’s going for her so far, the drum & bass scene in SA, and she’s full of super useful pieces of advice for anyone starting out in production, one of which is to be patient and bide your time! While her soundcloud page is full of cracking tracks (and we feature several in this show) she has yet to release on a label. We’re pretty sure she’s going to go far when she does!

As well as being musical director of Bristol’s Bass Choir, she has been organising and promoting events since setting up of her own night, Booty Bass, in 2018 to provide a platform for female DJ’s. Ngaio’s versatility as an artist has seen her moving audiences to standing ovations with a soul striking vocals, spark tears though truth laden lyrics, destroy dance floors with selections old and new taking crowds on a journey of nostalgia and discovery. She's DJ'd at festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown, Secret Garden Party, Love Saves The Day, Tokyo World.
