DJ Bisoux

DJs

<p>The original Shoreditch naughty blonde dance party starter, playing her own special blend of whatever it is you are looking for to get your own party grooving – deep vocal house with a side of pop, dance classics with or without a garage twist, shoulder popping baselines or just an Italo Disco vibe backdrop. Sounds you haven’t heard for ages mixed with sounds you’ve never heard, her 80s collection is also impeccable</p> <p>Bisoux’s roots are firmly in the East London Nightscene as well as playing internationally. She’s as happy to play the 3am set in the mainroom in Moscow’s answer to Fabric, a fashion presentation in Soho’s Chotto Matte, a band single launch in Dalston or broadcasting live from Aruba’s Cool FM. Bisoux always brings the key ingredient – fun!</p> [{"ID":8111,"id":8111,"title":"bisoux_02 (1)","filename":"bisoux_02-1.jpg","url":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bisoux_02-1.jpg","alt":"","author":"2","description":"","caption":"","name":"bisoux_02-1","date":"2018-11-09 14:26:39","modified":"2018-11-09 14:26:39","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","icon":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":960,"height":640,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bisoux_02-1-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bisoux_02-1-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bisoux_02-1-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bisoux_02-1.jpg","large-width":960,"large-height":640}},{"ID":8112,"id":8112,"title":"Bisoux_profile (1)","filename":"Bisoux_profile-1.jpg","url":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Bisoux_profile-1.jpg","alt":"","author":"2","description":"","caption":"","name":"bisoux_profile-1","date":"2018-11-09 14:26:40","modified":"2018-11-09 14:26:40","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","icon":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1000,"height":1000,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Bisoux_profile-1-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Bisoux_profile-1-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Bisoux_profile-1-768x768.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Bisoux_profile-1.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":1000}}] [{"data":{"ID":8110,"id":8110,"title":"Kit Kat Mix","filename":"Kit-Kat-Mix.mp3","url":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Kit-Kat-Mix.mp3","alt":"","author":"2","description":"\"Kit Kat Mix\".","caption":"","name":"kit-kat-mix","date":"2018-11-09 14:26:19","modified":"2018-11-09 14:26:22","mime_type":"audio\/mpeg","type":"audio","icon":"https:\/\/www.velvetentertainment.net\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/audio.png"},"title":""}]
