Career
[edit]Horne, born in 1972 or 1973, grew up in Chester, England. She started DJin c. 1988, initially under the moniker DJ Horny after her surname and then as DJ Lottie.[1] Lottie's career began in Northern England before she moved to work in London clubs in 1993 including a residency at Turnmills. She recorded an Essential Mix for BBC Radio in 1998. By 1999 Lottie had won the best new DJ category at the annual Muzik magazine dance awards, and was one of the first women to have major impact in the UK dance music scene.[2][3][4][5] In 2002 she was first woman to headline DJ at the Ibiza nightclub Space, in July that same year was featured on the cover of Muzik magazine who called her the "Queen of Ibiza", and she ranked at number 45 on the world top 100 DJs poll.[1][6]
Lottie's style of music has been described as both acid house and tech house, and she is also known as an early proponent of "filter disco bass bumping house" though she claims her sound evolves over time. Her career has included standing in for BBC DJ Pete Tong, hosting the radio show Essential Selection.[1][2][7]
Lottie has released a number of singles and albums. Her first release was mix album 7 Live #2 in 1999, and her singles "Bushroot" and "Supakilla" both charted on UK Dance at number 19 and number 13 respectively.[8] She has appeared as a mentor in reality TV series Faking It.[4]
Lottie married Wall of Sound label head Mark Jones and in 2006 they had a son. After a career break she returned to the scene full time in 2010, setting up the Geisha club nights promoting female DJs.
