Artist Interview
Surround yourself with the kind of people who lift you up, not bring you down. Real friends don't care if you mess up.
Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.
I'm Vic, my DJ name is Lady Vix and I like to think of myself as a clubber first and a DJ second. I started clubbing in around 2003, where I went to events such as the Tidy Weekenders, as well as the legendary Dance Academy in Plymouth. I enjoy playing a variety of genres - house, trance, hard house and hard trance. Hard house nights are amazing because I love the music, but equally because of the good vibes, the fun, and the energy.
What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?
Last year (2023) was incredible for me - a massive highlight was playing at the Hard Trance Europe Weekender. I also played on New Years Eve at Hindsight Vs Tranzaction at Strobe in Plymouth. It's been really exciting to see my name on lineups with DJ's I've admired for years.
I played an impromptu pool party set at Unity in the Sun festival in Corfu last year - and I am now officially on the lineup for Unity in May this year where I will be playing uplifting but stomping hard house. You can also catch me playing disco house at Studio 84 at Strobe nightclub in June.
My favourite type of events to play are private parties for friends, as I get to play for hours and get fully in the flow (my record is over 10 hours!). I tend to let my bookings happen organically, so I don't know where this year will take me. I have lots of mixes on my DJLadyVix Soundcloud page and this year my aim is to upload new mixes to Soundcloud more regularly.
I would describe this mix as fun, varied, and plenty of vocals but with a good driving stompy beat.
Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.
I've owned turntables and collected vinyl for years; however I only actually learned how to mix over lockdown. I am part of a group of DJ's and clubbers called The Good Vibe Tribe and it was because of this supportive group of friends that I found the confidence to play in front of others. Surround yourself with the kind of people who lift you up, not bring you down. Real friends don't care if you mess up. However my ultimate tip is to have fun! It is an absolute privilege to be allowed to pick the soundtrack so someone's night out, and you have to enjoy the tracks that you are playing. Although saying that, when I'm behind the decks I have to tone my dancing down a little because I like the music a bit TOO much! The clubber in me isn't ever far from the surface.
What artists have inspired your DJ style?
There's so many DJ's I love watching. I have been a fan of Lisa Pin-Up since I first started going clubbing because of the way she connects with the crowd and treats everyone as an individual. I've always loved Nick Coles' commitment to keeping the South West hard trance scene exciting and active. I love how authentic Amber D is and how she always picks amazing tracks from the wide variety of genres she plays. However, my favourite is Rob Tissera, because he embodies all of the best qualities in a DJ - good track selection, varied genres, he loves the music, and he connects with the crowd. Plus what he has done for the clubbing scene is inspiring. Go and read his book to find out more; in fact take the time to educate yourself as much as you can about the history of the clubbing/rave scene. We all need to respect the roots of the scene and have gratitude for what we enjoy today - being able to enjoy dancing to music in a safe space where everyone gets along.
Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
My aim was to create a hard house warm up set that feels like it’s in that sweet spot between house and hard house; where it has enough energy to dance to, but isn’t too full on if you're sat down or if hard house isn't normally your thing. There's a good variation of tracks in the mix, some well known, some less so. I would describe this mix as fun, varied, and plenty of vocals but with a good driving stompy beat.
