Gemma Furbank is a hot house music rising star! As a DJ, she is well-known for bringing truly sublime tracks together with flawless precision...

Gemma owned her first decks in 2003 - her beloved Technics 1210's. It wasn't until late 2008, she finally decided to mastered the decks, and learnt the art of DJing. In October 2008 she invested in her Pioneer CDJ1000 mk3's.

She was an early starter on the clubbing scene, starting her clubbing in 1993 and discovering Cream in 1996. It was there that she first encountered Paul Oakenfold, resident DJ at that time! " Oakey blew my mind on a regular basis, and I was mesmorised by the whole atmosphere and swiftly became hooked on the whole scene!"

Gemma takes a lot of Inspiration from her favourite DJ's and styles, and is always inspired by DJ James Zabiela and his crazy skills!

Gemma was asked to submit a mix to the Uber crew in Carlisle, and made it to the live final of their annual DJ competition in Jan 09, coming a very close 2nd ,with Paul Jackson Headlining. This was her first live gig.

Gemma then entered the world of promoting and organised charity House night "Aural Pleasure" in February 09. All proceeds went to Breast Cancer Care. The night gained support from local and International DJs such as David Dunne (Galaxy Radio/Hed Kandi) who played at the event, and DJs like K-Klass and Jon Fitz who offered promo support and prizes!

She was also bagged to play at fantastic Manchester night "Alectrona" earlier this year,having only been on the circuit a month.

Not content with playing clubs, Gemma was quickly booked to play some festivals this Summer. This resulted in her following growing ten fold, as she showed the boy's how it's done , and whipped everybody into a frenzy!

Again, never being one to sit back, Gemma is organised the dance tent at "Mozfest" in Mossley (August 09). An event that over 8000 attended this year, making it the biggest and best to date!.

A very special guest VJ also jumped onboard. Fresh from Global Gathering, providing the back drop fro none other than Gemma's idol, Mr James Zabiela , and Carl Cox..and then again for Sander Kleinenberg on the 9th of August - Mark Vity, of Ghost Visuals will be flying in from Ireland, just to provide some amazing visuals for the evenings set's!

More recently, Gemma has gained the ESSTIGE DJ OF THE MONTH crown for Aug 09. Having noticed all the hard work, determination and passion she displays!

Gemma was over the moon to receive a call from a fantastic Promoter in August. Again, unkowingly, she had been being monitored. The promoter offered Gemma her dream gig - to play a 2 hour warm up set, at a 4 million pound Superclub,in September, for her favourite label RENAISSANCE!!!The headline DJ being none other than Dave Seaman!

Gemma is already receiving a lot of interest from promoters abroad for International gigs !

"I play a very eclectic mix, and basically think genres can be very stifling! If it sounds shit hot..it sounds shit hot! I play it! haha Genres create rules, and i love to break rules!"

She adores Prog house/Prog Breaks/House/Tech-House/Minimal Tech/Techno/Electro - she likes to call it 'Eclectronic music'!

"Top girl, top dj and all round nice gal!

A real original sound in your sets of which i have heard 3 now and been mightly impressed each & everytime, big things ahead i dare say!!!
;-)"

Gemma is just as likely to be seen in front of the deck's as behind them. She's still an avid clubber, and love's to get in the thick of it, when dancing to her favourite DJ's and Producers!

She is also hoping to follow many of the people she admires, into the production side this year. She puts in plenty of hard work and believes that you can get anything if you want it bad enough! "Onwards and Upwards!!! 2009 is gonna kick ass!"
