Smokin’ Jo in conversation with Kate French-Morris

Smokin’ Jo is the only female DJ to have won DJ Magazine’s DJ of the Year Award, and stands as a pioneer of the 90s dance scene. She has gigged all over the world, from Ibiza to Miami, China to Brazil, and collaborated with many major figures in music, film and fashion. Her memoir, You Don’t Need a Dick to DJ, tells of a childhood spent in a children’s home, the elation, euphoria and community she found in the burgeoning acid house scene, drink, drugs, and the misogyny, racism, prejudice and homophobia she encountered in the course of her phenomenally successful career.
