http://www.a3life.com - DJ Rap Talks To A3 Network. "The moment I heard a breakbeat tune I was like 'This is it!!' This is me, I could live and die right here in this space. For a long time it was a real problem cos most records were four-to-the-floor, Euro or whatever, and then you might have "Shut Up And Dance" creating this amazing "Ten Pounds To Get In" and it was frustrating cos there wasn't enough of it."
Rap returned to the studio. Two twelves for Suburban Base: 'Vertigo' and 'Jeopardy' followed, co-produced with Aston. But it was 'Spiritual Aura', with its sensual gasps of ambience and loose syncopated drums that really established her as a name to watch. By the end of '93, it was everywhere. A landmark of the ethereal, swooning 'Artcore' golden era of jungle production. The success prompted DJ Rap to start her own label, Proper Talent.
There have been around twenty releases to date, as well as a subsidiary, Low Key Recordings, created in 1995 to nurture new producers. Over the last five years DJ Rap has spun the discs as much globally as nationally: Australia, the States, Canada, Europe, Japan. Her "Journeys By DJ" mix is undoubtedly one of the best in the series and an excellent example, with it's excerpts of trancemeister Peter Lazonby's 'Sacred Cycles' and Carl Craig's 'The Wonders of Wishing', of Rap's impeccable, broad taste and sense of gentle, dreamy ambience as well as hard impact, slash'n'burn breakbeats.
DJ Rap's debut album, 'Intelligence' for her own label Proper Talent also illustrated her talents as a producer, songwriter and vocalist capable of striking out in a multiplicity of directions.
Tracks like "Roughest Gunark" were caned by the jump-up jungle turntable Mafia, but there were also moments of deep contemplation and wistful beauty on it too.
Having signed a major deal with Higher Ground in July 1997, making her label mates with legendary Grooverider and Leftfield, DJ Rap is about to come into her own.
Her first release is 'Bad Girl', taken from her debut album 'Learning Curve'. This album combines her knowledge and instinct for making music, fulfilling every brilliant expectation we've grown to have for DJ Rap; optimism, passion and lush orchestration that's gonna blow the world away.
Like I said before, forget Girl Power. You ain't seen nothing yet.
