Saturday May 7th, 2005
HI-FIDELITY @ BOA presents
MISS HONEY DIJON
www.dijonmusic.com,Peaches, MFF, New York City
Based in New York, Miss Honey’s recent gigs for such clients as Visionaire, Hermes, Chloe, the CFDA Awards, Loewe, Narcisco Rodriquez and other global tastemakers are making her one of the most sought after DJs for top fashion calendar events. Other headlining appearances include Berlin’s Love Parade, Respect is Burning in Paris and the annual Miami Winter Music Conference in Miami.
Although she spins a distinct Chicago sound with inflections of the deep New York Underground, Miss Honey prides herself on a style that is all her own. In fact, Honey is one of the few DJs in recent years to defy pigeon-holing. She draws from a wide repertoire of musical styles – from old school Chicago house, disco, tech-house, tribal, funk, soul and r&b. As a gifted and experienced DJ, Honey knows how to manipulate any crowd. Whether she is easing them into a trancey vibe with the dark sounds of techno or lifting them up with pumping house, she knows how to rock a party.
A native of the windy city, Honey was first inspired by the legendary house sounds of such DJ pioneers as Ron Hardy, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina and Frankie Knuckles. When she moved to New York in the mid-90’s, Honey became great friends with even more influential DJs including the amazing Danny Tenaglia, who finally urged her to get behind the decks. Seducing club goers with her unique sound all over the world, she is becoming a must-see DJ in many cities. “I like to keep the focus on the music”, Miss Honey says. “My style is a blend of all genres, but instead of looking to the past, it’s all about the future.”
Honeys recent past appearances include OTV Club Zagreb, The Dome and Hoemann 17 in Israel, The Sub Club Glasgow, The Classic recordings parties with Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon at The End in London and regular spots at the Off Corso Rotterdam and with critical acclaim for her set on her Belgian debut at 4PLAY Culture Club Gent.
The Future see’s Honey continuing to travel trans global, and her own club nights produced with Danny Tenaglia will be starting in June at NYC’s Arc Club. alongside her frantic Dj Schedule Honey still finds time to be the owner of “Peaches music records” along with Dan X of Dirty Sole and No
Assembly Required.
Look for Honey’s releases on Classic/Plastic Records from the UK, most recently the Skattered jazz by Dirty Sole Honey Dijon Skattered Brain mix on Derrick Carter & Luke Solomon’s Classic Records label:
Upcoming projects see Honey re-mixing the “Freaks” with these releases scheduled for the summer: He's Angry, The Freaks, Honey Dijon's Angry Acid Bitch mix on Music for Freaks and Gay time Latin Lover Honey's Tasty BBQ mix again on Music for Freaks.
Watch this lady go !
New York City's Honey Dijon threw down her fierce mix of banging techno and house for the late-night crowd at Nation, the Saturday weekly at Life.
Tending more toward her harder side, she knows how to play to a crowd without compromising her own style. In just six years of DJing, she's become one of the more skilled and well-loved DJs on the big club scene. Cutting up disco, techno, hard house and a few diva tracks, she works the mixer intensely -- moving between genres in the blink of an eye, chopping up tracks with the fader and tweaking the EQ to get the dance floor cheering.
