With a reputation stretching back to the foundations of drum & bass, Storm’s early career was built alongside that of hergreat friend and DJ partner, Kemistry. Sharing a passion for music and clubbing, they were inspired by theemergingbreakbeat sound championed by the likes of Fabio and Grooverider at legendary club night Rage. Determinedtobecome involved in this new and exciting scene, they set out on a path to become DJs and bought their first deckstogether in October 1991. Around this time they met an aspiring young artist by the name of Goldie and beganaregularshow on London pirate Touchdown FM, with Goldie host- ing on the mic for the two upcoming DJs. In 1994, Goldiefounded Metalheadz with Kemistry & Storm at the core: recruiting new artists, building it’s reputation throughpressandpromotion as well as representing as the label’s Blue Note residency. 

 

The duo became highly respected as DJs through their hard work, determination, respect and kindness, andof coursetheir skills. They travelled across the UK and Europe and further afield with visits to Australia, NewZealand, Japanandthe USA among others. Frequently playing in Germany, the girls really felt a strong connection there andin1998released a high profile mix CD through German label !K7. Their ‘DJ-Kicks’ mix proved to be one of the most popularinthe series but sadly, soon after the promotional tour for the CD ended and at the height of their career, thegirls wereinvolved in a motorway accident and Kemis- try was tragically lost. Storm carried on with the music besideher, continuing the passion they had shared for drum & bass and leading the way as a role model for aspiring youngfemaleartists to break into what is still a male-dominated scene.
