Alisha stumbled into the DJ world by accident ! Planning for her 21st birthday party, the question of “the DJ?” came along. At the time, she was working as an electrician on a site where someone recommended the guy from his local weekend haunt. After meeting this guy who agreed to do her party, she was watched what the DJ was doing, taking in all his skills on the turntables and thinking to herself “i can do that!”She befriended the DJ who agreed to teach her the ropes. She picked it up very quickly and was soon getting her own slot in the pub. And things progressed from there... Before all this however, Alisha was already loving the dance music scene in a big way, venturing south to Milton Keynes for the legendary Helter Skelter admiring the sounds of Mark E G, Scorpio, Clarkee, Producer as well as attending other dance events, so the transition from in front of the decks to behind them was smoother than most. She played around with different styles of dance music from house to progressive and eventually around to techno where she felt happiest. At around this time, she felt the urge to delve into the music business deeper by opening her own record shop in 2005, Reality Records, in St Helens which had limited success but eventually struggled due to the growth of MP3. But she didn't give up and transformed the business into a DJ training and music production facility. Things went well for a time, achieving some good local press coverage and the support of the local MP ! But problems with leases and a lack of government funding forced it to close in 2008. With all the spare time on her hands, she concentrated on her DJing, uploading mixes on regular intervals on various sites, increasing her following gradually. She had invites to play guest slots on local club nights in the north west and even abroad. She was also involved in running a radio show on KCR 106.7FM called Digilogue which once again helped underground producers and djs the oppertunity to play live on a FM station. After giving birth to her daughter in february 2009, she's now back out attending some of the biggest nights around the north west connecting back into the techno scene! To name but a few, Detached and Future Past, Mint Club Leeds, Atomic Jam, Aum Birmingham, Colour Manchester and her own night which has just hit Liverpool called Gora Gora. After the first launch on the 6 August 2011 Gora Gora has quickly become reconised for its efforts threw the support of its followers, the djs / producers who played and within the music scene as a whole allowing Alisha & Matt to continue their hard work and commitment to create another Gora Gora event for you to all enjoy... 2012 will be a special year for Gora Gora moving into our new home in Cummblerland St, The Lomax famous in its day for bands such as Radiohead, Supergrass, The Verve and many more has once again opened its doors and kindly allowing us to use the 350 capacity venue, with two rooms to supply Liverpool with a Techno night thats just keeps moving from strength to strength. Still behind the scenes alisha also works as as marketing co-ordinator and promoting the benefits of social media networking for new and existing businesses as well as attending JMU to complete her Degree in graphic design… Alisha is always looking for the next challenge... This is a girl who knows what she wants for the future, but for now is hitting full steam ahead into her DJing & producing work.....watch out for the train !!
