32-year-old Jamz Supernova has grown to be one of London’s most beloved DJs, not only within the nightlife and festival circuit, but on prime radio too. In fact, she was a broadcaster long before she ever touched DJ decks, “one of my colleagues sold me his decks, so I paid him off in installments and practiced in my living room for about a year. My first gig was at a queer night in Bethnal Green, someone asked me to play some old school R&B and I was like ‘um, ok’ - because that wasn’t my plan or what I had prepared - so for the first hour I bombed. Thankfully it got better.”
After spending 12 years at BBC Radio 1Xtra, she made the move to BBC 6Music and even founded her own label, Future Bounce. What began as a small radio show of her own, soon bloomed into a major party, and subsequently, a home to underground talent across a range of sounds. Now she’s celebrating two years at 6Music and 13 incredible years in radio with a party to remember. On April 21st, Jamz will be taking over east London’s Village Underground to bring us ‘The Supernova X-perience’ with a lineup including Manuka Honey, Kampire and Quinzequinze.
