Angel Johnson

Angel began her DJ career way back in 1991. One of the original female DJs in the UK who helped break the stereotype of what was once considered a uniquely male vocation, Angel has earned her place in the UK house scene’s hall of fame. Rewind to 1983 age sixteen with a fake ID and the desire to dance Angel became a regular on Nottingham's underground club scene. The selection of jazz-funk, electro and soul was light years away from anything she’d heard before. After many years as the proverbial club-diva Angel decided she fancied a shot on the other side of the decks. She borrowed some turntables, bought some vinyl and spent the next three months teaching herself to mix. She delivered her first mix-tape to renowned club promoter James Bailie. On the strength of that mix he booked her to play at Nottingham's Venus on New Years Eve 1991, the rest, so they say, is history! It's hard to list the achievements of a DJ with more than thirty years in the industry but playing top clubs like Hacienda, Ministry of Sound, Pacha on line-ups with legends like Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Todd Terry... and her residency at Stafford’s Swoon rank highly in Angel’s repertoire, as does travelling the world, delivering her dynamic mix of groovy House. As well as being a respected DJ, Angel has a history of releases under her belt on labels like Seamless, IIT, LTBH, Lapsus and her own label Ocata Records. She's also released three albums under her chill out alter ego Venus In Motion
