A Glasgow based DJ 'screamed the house down' after being told that they would play Riverside music festival.
Twenty-seven-year-old, Glasgow resident, Beth Mawer, will take to the decks on Saturday afternoon to kick off the festival and was delighted when she heard the news. The DJ, known simply as 'Beth', is originally from Lanark and plays a mix of music such as house, disco and underground.
The festival is due to celebrate its tenth-year anniversary, next weekend at Riverside Museum in the west end with a mammoth lineup of disk jockeys including new and upcoming talent to big name performers, playing everything from house music to techno.

Glasgow Live sat down with Beth to discuss her reaction to finding out the news, DJs that have inspired her throughout the years and the times she used to go along to the festival as a punter with her pals.
Beth said: "It has actually not sunk in properly yet that I am playing at the festival. I've been going to Riverside for many years as a punter but actually getting to play at the festival, it is still so crazy to me"
After sending in a mix to the organisers of Riverside, Beth found out she was due to play the festival in an email while she was at work and in her own words said "I screamed the house down."
"I couldn't believe it to be honest but I feel super humble to get to play at it so yes, I am very excited."
Beth went on to talk about some of the DJs that have inspired her to this moment.
Patrick Topping who is known for his tracks 'Be Sharp Say Nowt' and 'Shake My Booty' is also playing at Riverside and is one of her heroes and described him as 'wicked.'

She said: "He has definitely been a musical inspiration for me, in terms of what I play because he plays a good mix of house, techno and a little bit of everything else."
Honey Dijon, is another of the DJs that Beth is inspired by due to her genre mixing abilities.
