Is Jane Fitz a DJ's DJ? Even though we hate the term, it probably applies here...
A DJ of more than 25 years and a crucial figure in underground house and techno, Jane is also a promoter of some of the best parties in the UK over a similar time period.
We discuss her roots in London, experiences living in Hong Kong during the 90s, and her route into DJing via magazine journalism and record collecting. And of course we cover her seminal parties, Peg, and Night Moves which is still running sporadically when suitable venues can be found.
This is a great conversation with someone who does things the right way... get involved!
