Moxie is many things: a Londoner born and bred, raised on raving and records; a seasoned DJ, playing big-room clubs and sweatbox basements worldwide; a charming radio host, as at home on national FM as regional stations and independent start-ups. It’s this balancing act between the underground and the mainstream that’s seen her become one of the UK’s hottest DJs, and is shaping 2015 up to be her strongest year yet.

Starting out covering for Sinden’s Kiss FM show in 2010, Moxie began hosting on pirate radio station Rinse and regularly DJing on the London club circuit. Her DJing experiences have been as broad and ambitious as her tastes. As well as playing flagship dubstep club night DMZ at Brixton’s Mass (and remaining the only woman to do so twice), Moxie’s selections of house, techno, disco, hip-hop and garage have seen her reach such wide and varying audiences that she became so in demand, the legendary super-club fabric invited her to play their Room One no less than six times in 2014.

Moxie may be at home in the club, but she also shines on the airwaves. After being selected for BBC Radio 1’s ‘In New DJs We Trust’ 2013 series, 2014 saw her graduate to dance music’s upper ranks by covering for DJ Heidi’s Residency show, and going onto host her own Residency slot the same year. Throughout this mainstream exposure, though, she’s remained loyal to her independent roots. After landing her own show on east London’s NTS Radio in 2011, she’s been hosting the same slot ever since and has been heavily involved in the station’s development.

Her work includes hosting in-depth interviews under the title ‘Moxie Presents’, inviting legends such as Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier and newcomers Lapsley and JUCE onto the show. As well as six-hour takeovers with renowned guest DJs, she also programmes and hosts special broadcasts around the world on behalf of NTS Radio, most recently at the 2014 Red Bull Music Academy in Tokyo.

As a key player in the NTS story at the Academy, Moxie hosted interviews with guest lecturers Gerd Janson and Carl Craig, as well as in-depth broadcasts with the Academy participants in both the UK Red Bull studios and on-site in Tokyo. Moxie will also be touring with NTS Radio this year in collaboration with international clothing brand Carhartt, hosting broadcasts and DJing in pop-up NTS studios.

Through NTS Radio, Moxie has also started a compilation series, ‘Moxie Presents…’: the first of which is a free, eight-track release featuring music from Ikonika, SCNTST, Budgie, Kowton, and more. After gaining support from key publications such as Resident Advisor, XLR8R, FACT and Mixmag, 2015 sees a highly anticipated second instalment in the works.

Moxie has also recorded mixes for a range of platforms: FACT, Warehouse Project, Boiler Room, RBMA Radio, Triple J and Solid Steel have all had their own, special treatment; pulling together her years behind the decks, on-air and in the club, with passion, knowledge and flair. With her talent for selecting and promoting quality music, Moxie’s ascent to the top is as smooth as it is earned.
