Das Ende einer Ära! Nach über sechs Jahren ist es nun soweit…

Schweren Herzens müssen wir lauthals verkünden, dass am 26.05.06 die letzte SpaceBreaks im THW stattfinden wird. Sechs Jahre im Zeichen der guten Musik, der fantastischen Partys, der tollen Crowd und der herausragenden DJs finden nun im Mai ihr Ende. SpaceBreaks gehört zu den ältesten Clubnächten Frankfurts, und spielte sich in die Herzen unzähliger Clubbesucher. Doch nach über Sechs Jahren, wird es für die Macher Zeit neue Wege zu gehen, und neue Ufer zu betreten. Doch sehen wir das ganze doch mal Positiv: Am 26.05. haben wir noch einmal die Gelegenheit die !wildeste SpaceBreaks-Nacht ever! zu feiern. Mit vereinten Kräften gilt es Abende wie die mit Marky, Goldie, Marcus Intalex & Calibre, High Contrast, Patife, Doc Scott oder Hype zu toppen. Unmöglich? NEIN!!! Als Unterstützung haben sich hierfür DJ Simon & Neon ihren Lieblingsgast aus Sechs Jahren Clubgeschichte noch mal eingeladen: DJ Flight!!!!!

Als Resident bei BBC-1xtra machte sich Flight schnell unverzichtbarer für die Drum’n’Bass-Szene. Ihr außerordentlich guter Musikgeschmack, und ihre lockere Art machen ihre wöchentliche Sendung so unverwechselbar.
Doch nicht nur im Radio und als DJ konnte Flight sich in der letzten Zeit einen Namen machen. Unter dem Pseudonym Alias produziert sie mit ihrem Partner Breakage wunderschöne Nummern, die bereits schon auf 31rec., Bassbin oder Critical für Aufsehen sorgten. Mittlerweile hat Flight sogar ihr eigenes Plattenlabel samt Bookingagentur gegründet. Man darf also in Zukunft noch viel von dieser jungen Dame erwarten…!

Lasst uns diese Ära also mit einem wahren Paukenschlag beenden!

Getrauert werden kann immer noch später!

ES IST EURE LETZTE CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INFO: FLIGHT:
Flight started buying Drum and Bass vinyl back in the summer of 1996 whilst still at Art College. She began learning how to mix around 6 months later, practicing on a friend's turntable whenever the chance arose. The urge to start collecting vinyl stemmed from an early love of the music, listening to bits of acid house, hardcore and progressing through to Drum and Bass. Flight remembers one incident in particular that turned out to be her main inspiration - that was hearing Kemistry and Storm for the first time at the SW1 Club in 1995. Amazed at the sounds they were playing and their completely individual style, Flight was inspired to get more involved in the music scene, and to be more than just a spectator. Wanting to hear more of the diverse and experimental beats that Kemistry and Storm played that night, Flight became a regular at the weekly Metalheadz Sunday Sessions, as well as going to other nights such as A.W.O.L. @ Ministry of Sound, Desire, Innovation, Movement, PM Scientists and many other London club nights.

In April 1997, Flight was offered a job in the record shop Trix Trax (now known as Unique Muzik). This proved to be hugely beneficial as Flight was able to build up her record collection extensively, as well as beginning to build a network of contacts within the music industry. It was also around this time that Flight started doing mix-tapes. She gave her very 1st one to Kemistry and Storm asking them to gauge her progress, their response to the tape, in Flight's words, was "that they liked the way the tunes were put together, the mixing was good and that I should keep at it". So she did. Through DJ Reeflex of Flex 103.6 FM (one of the contacts she met through working at Trix Trax), she was invited to play back to back sets on pirate radio. At around this time, Flight was a regular at PM Scientists @ Jazz Bistro and Smithfields. It was here that she met Damian Lazarus and Zoe Richardson. In July 1997, Zoe was to offer Flight a position at PR company Phuture Trax in London, assisting with club promotion. Through her work at Phuture Trax, Flight went on to meet many of the scene's key players, which would prove very useful in the establishment of her DJ career.

November 1997 brought Flight her 1st play out in a club in Soho, playing alongside Matrix. In 1998, Flight continued to play out in clubs, including a charity event in Coventry and Atomics in Maidstone. The big break came one night in 1999. Kemistry and Storm were DJing at Swerve and asked Flight to do a mix tape for Goldie, as they'd been discussing bringing a new female DJ into the Metalheadz camp. The tape was liked and Goldie said "bring her in". Flight joined the Metalheadz roster and from July 1999, she played on rotation at the weekly Sunday Sessions at Dingwalls in London. It was around this time that Flight also gave a couple of mix tapes to Sarah Sandy at Groove Connection. This resulted in her becoming a resident DJ at Swerve from January 2000, giving Flight the opportunity to play alongside her other inspiration and all-time favourite DJ, Fabio, who she credits along with Kemistry and Storm for giving her the confidence to play tunes she loves and believes in.

Other sources of inspiration for Flight over the years have come from Grooverider 'tearing out' the Blue Note Sunday Sessions, Randall and Andy C for their impeccable mixing, Doc Scott for always playing something different, and Bryan G's no-nonsense DJ sets. Being resident at both Metalheadz and Swerve has allowed Flight the chance to play for other promoters and labels including Movement, Trouble on Vinyl, Reinforced, Valve, Kaos Recordings, Hospital Records, Creamfields in Liverpool and Dublin, Prototype and many others. She's also played across the UK and in many clubs abroad, with a residency at Space Breaks in Frankfurt, playing around Germany, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Canada, Norway and soon to be appearing in Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
