GIZELLE (a.k.a. REBEL YELLE)… DJ … WHO?
Gizelle started d.j.-ing in South London in 1987 - playing rare groove/funk
- until she went to an acid house party six months later and was so inspired
by this new wave of dance music that her music style changed over night.
But it wasn’t until 1994, when she first connected with the Zero Gravity
underground collective and the Liberator djs that the adventure really began.
Following this she began d.j.-ing on the Immersion Sound System, with
Lawrie Immersion, the Liberators, Zebedee and others, together with live
sets from Guy McAffer, Dave The Drummer and DDR, playing at free parties
every weekend in and around London. It was a very exciting time for everyone,
thrusting a new wave of energy into the London underground scene. Nowadays,
she is still dedicated to the sound of techno/acid techno and stays committed
to the scene that she believes in ¯ the underground.
DJ … EXPERIENCE? Gizelle is very experienced and has established herself
firmly as a d.j. on the London scene and has been part of the London underground
techno scene over the last 9 years both on the decks and behind the scenes.
She has d.j.-ed worldwide in places such as: Holland, Belgium, Poland, Spain,
Australia, America, Brazil, Venezuela and Russia.
DJ … STYLE? Gizelle’s style is a mixture of deep, strong,
funky and hard sounds through the motions of techno, whilst staying true
to the energy of acid house & techno. Her style nowadays is much more
eclectic, mixing up all kinds of techno and acid techno depending on the
flavour of the night. She is experienced enough to understand what the dancefloor
needs at that moment in time and enjoys the challenge.
DJ … WHAT ELSE? Gizelle has been working behind the scenes over the
last 5 years, in music distribution and is now part of the team at Curved
Pressings, the techno collective’s pressing plant. She ran the label
‘Antidote’ for two years in 2000, which is soon to be revived
and is now returning to the studio after a few years behind the scenes.
Over the years she has produced tracks for Stay Up Forever under the guise
of ‘Rebel Yelle’, and has produced for labels such as: Smitten
(‘X Meets Y’ with Dave The Drummer), Cluster (‘Mizbehaviour’
with Guy McAffer), Havok, Organgrinder, Off The Wall (with Lawrie Immersion),
Low Rent Operator (‘Bitches From Hell’ with Mara Bruiser and
Ant) and Antidote (‘Phunkaholix’ with Guy McAffer and ‘Hi-Way
System’ with Ant).
