The lady of the house.

Tomorrow night sees the artist dubbed the First Lady of House music, DJ Lottie, making her Dubai debut performance at Alpha Club, Le Meridien Airport Hotel, courtesy of Gorgeous Dubai. The superstar DJ is renowned for her edgy, electronic sets, mixing house and techno, and always coming up with exciting and fresh sounds. Lottie is also a whiz in the studio, producing tracks for some of the biggest names in the industry, guest mixing on numerous radio shows and hosting the infamous Pete Tong's Essential Selection. Her talent, combined with her looks, has even made a splash on television, where she's hosted MTV's dancefloor charts as well as covered festivals in Ibiza, Miami and the UK. We chatted to the "Lady" herself in anticipation of her debut gig at Alpha. Lottie, your Dubai debut awaits, do you have any preconceptions about the crowd you'll be playing to? I have learned not to have any preconceptions when I travel, as music has a way of bringing us all together and transcending any cultural or language differences, so dancefloors are never as different as you'd expect them to be. From what your DJ pals have told you, does Dubai strike you as a clubbing capital, a stamp you're proud to have on your world DJ passport? Absolutely. There's a real buzz about the place and most people I know plan to visit to sample the nightlife if they haven't already been. Your DJ career has seen you play world class legendary clubs such as The Gallery in London and Space in Ibiza. Have you played any really obscure venues internationally? What's the weirdest gig you've played? I played an afterhours party in a basement in an obscure town in Serbia two hours outside Belgrade which was pretty weird as I didn't have a clue where I was (geographically) but the people had an amazing energy and it turned out to be a very special, (literally) underground party. Also one of my favourite clubs is Sirena in Brazil, it's surrounded by a rainforest near the beach a couple of hours outside Sao Paulo, I loved it there. Being a female DJ you must get a lot more attention! Do you think female DJ's have an advantage, a head start in their career? We get attention because we're still a minority but I don't think we get a head start particularly, you have to be good at what you do to get where you want to be, regardless of gender. Dubai can come across as a commercial place in terms of music, but there's still a great response to new styles and upfront tunes. Will you be pushing the boundaries and educating the masses? Entertaining is my priority but I always push the boundaries yes, of course. I try and get a balance between getting everyone excited and playing new, edgy tracks as that to me is what dance music is all about.
