Brand spanking new club night, 'Neighbourhood', drops in on every Wednesday to Sheffield's newest nightspot, The Viper Rooms. For the launch, Radio 1's Edith Bowman is hitting the decks on the 21st September so we grabbed her for a quickie.
So you're coming to Sheffield to
guest appear at the Neighbourhood
launch night - have you DJ'd in Sheffield
before? Are the people of Sheffield
a good crowd?
Yes I have, quite a few times. Really
great crowd and always big fans of
music. Love playing there.
Do you love a good bit of Indie?
Yes I do, I love a good bit of everything
to be honest, something that gets a
reaction and also surprises people.
What's your biggest crowd pleasing
track?
That is the million dollar question. I
never really plan much as I like to see
what the crowd look like and feel like.
Which track is most played on your
iPod this month?
The new Horrors' album, 'Skying'.
Which upcoming music stars should
our readers be looking out for?
A new band called PET and Discopolis,
and a track by Raized by Wolves called
'The Call'. And I'm really excited about
the new Coldplay album.
You also DJ on Radio One – do you
prefer radio or being in the midst of it
as a club DJ?
I'm not really a superstar DJ and I do
get very nervous when I'm on a stage
playing, much prefer being in my wee
booth lost in the music
You review the latest film and DVD releases on your radio show – what's
the best film you've seen recently?
The new Ryan Gosling film called
'Drive'.
As a Radio One presenter you getto interview movie superstars – ever
been star-struck? And with whom?
At least once a week I get star-struck,
I think when I don't it's time to think
about changing jobs. Complacency is a
very sad thing.
What's been your most memorable interview?
Leonardo Di Caprio - every time I have
done him he is just refreshing and it's
heartening that someone of his superstar
status can be so approachable and
lovely and down to earth.
Are there any celebs you'd love to
interview?
YES, how long do you have? Madonna
has a new film coming out and I'm really
hoping I get to chat to her about it.
How did you get into DJing?
Love of music really.
For all of those aspiring DJs out
there, what advice would you give
them?
If you know it's what you want to do,
don't take no for an answer and don't
try and be something you are not; people
see through that very quickly.
Where did you wake up this morning?
Very early in my bed as we have no curtains at the moment.
Who did you last receive a text from?
My friend Gemma saying she didn't want to come and watch The Smurfs with me.
Any secret celebrity crushes?
Well then they wouldn't be secret anymore would they?!
Describe yourself in three words?
Honest, Interested and Loyal.
Any hidden talents?
I can get a duvet cover on in less than 30 seconds.
