DJ Flight

DJ Flight is coming in hot. Award-winning DJ, broadcaster, EQ50 co-founder, and label boss.
This Drum & Bass pioneer keeps pushing the genre forward with seminal sets and new
releases. Waking Life, Crato. Dayshift, Sydney. Closing sets at Warehouse Project and
Glastonbury. A magnet for music fans getting lost in bass-heavy, future-facing tracks that
respect the culture’s roots.
Flight has a rare mystical talent that transcends time and space. For over a quarter of a century,
her star has been in ascendance. Flight’s influence on the scene is huge – the New York Times
wrote of her inspiration to a whole new generation of artists, including Nia Archives, who she
personally mentored during EQ50’s inaugural mentorship programme.
With a solid reputation built via late ‘90s pirate radio, early Metalheadz, Swerve, and other
residencies, Flight gained worldwide recognition in 2002 when she became the first woman to
host a national Drum & Bass radio show. The Next Chapter on BBC 1Xtra was a
groundbreaking fixture that quickly became The Holy Grail for discovering new names, fresh
styles, and experimental sounds.
Two decades’ of consistency later, Flight garnered a string of successes in 2022 as she
celebrated 25 years of playing exquisite sets around the globe. Industry nods included bronze at
the British Podcast Awards for Windrush Stories, a beautiful exploration of the West Indian
experience in Britain. Flight closed off the year with a DJ Mag ‘Outstanding Contribution’ to
dance music award, while Mixmag named her one of the ‘DJs Who Defined The Year’.
Flight also produced and narrated widely acclaimed documentary series Turn It Up: A Short
History of Drum & Bass for BBC Sounds and Radio 1. In 2023, it was nominated at The Radio
Academy’s prestigious ARIAS (Audio & Radio Industry Awards) in Best Music Special category.
Summer ’24 heralded the relaunch of her record label – play:musik – with an EP from Nectax,
one of new-gen Jungle’s brightest talents. Body Talk was a massive hit, signalling a rapturous
return and solid foundation for following releases. The label marked its 20th anniversary in
October 2025.
To date Flight maintains an ear for excellent music and dynamic versatility, traits that see her
continue to be booked at a range of smaller focused and larger club nights, events, boutique
and major festivals, both within and outside the Jungle Drum & Bass sphere.
Still deeply committed to her beloved radio transmissions, hear the revamped Flight:Mode
shows on foundational station Kool FM, every first Wednesday of the month, 7-9pm GMT.
