Biografie
It is no easy feat for any female DJ to be taken seriously, especially one that is trying to break through in today's ever popular, ever surging UK Hardcore scene brimming with male and female talent combined. For Clodhopper, however it has been a journey of discovery, hard work and dedication leading to her becoming one of the fastest rising female DJ's and producers in UK Hardcore today.
For Clodhopper, music is in her blood and always has been, her parents both professional musicians and as a result, she spent her childhood learning Violin, Piano, Clarinet and Saxophone, this didn't stop her as a teenager however through falling in love with the early rave scene and Happy hardcore in its early guises. This led to an eventual and fairly natural desire to explore the club scene and so - in 1997 Clo took the plunge and experienced her first ever lust for DJ'ing whilst at one of the early Slinky sessions at Bournemouth's legendary Opera House venue, little did she know that a decade on she would be playing there herself as a resident, this time under the banner of the massive South Coast brand Fusion.
Currently Clodhopper is a resident for the ever popular Core Addicts Nose & Lips brand, Hardcore Marrows, Digital Accleration and the almighty smash hit sell-out UK Hardcore event Fusion.
In the studio she has worked closely with Raw Elements' DJ Sc@r on two productions 'Subsonic' and 'Bring It Back' for the Raw Elements label and has also worked with Hardcore legend DJ Ramos on his infamous RSR label on a track with Deanne entitled 'Shine Down' ; and some other tracks.
As a producer, Clodhopper has been signed to the Electrik Euphoria label owned and operated by the original bad boy DJ and MC Marley. Other recording artists Clodhopper has worked with include Deejaybee (Higher State Music) and MC Knight, showing very clearly that as a DJ and producer from the new school of Hardcore, Clodhopper is an artist that very quickly has projected her skills not only to attract the interests of the top tier of those all important Kings of the UK Hardcore scene as it is presently, but also within the attentions, focuses and favour of rave nation as we know it today. Get ready, because rest assured anytime soon at a rave near you, there is one name that is set to excite, energise, raise the foundations, blow the roof and lift your spirits and that name...is Clodhopper.
