Dirty House Sessions 017 - Cami Jones

Dirty House Sessions

Dancing around the living room to music videos on a Saturday morning as a toddler, Cami Jones has been a lover of all things music since a young age. Springing from the home of renowned artists including Motez, Juliet Fox and Groove Terminator, the soundtrack to her childhood consisted of 90s house music with a mum who played Ministry of Sound CDs on the drive to school. She began creating ‘mixtapes’ at the age of 9, recording her favourite songs from underground radio station Fresh 92.7 to tape after school in her bedroom. This obsession only grew, and during her early teens her favourite time of the week was Saturday night when she’d keenly listen to DJs on Fresh, playing the best club house music each week. A few years later and surrounded by a blossoming house music scene in Adelaide, her early clubbing experiences began to further define her musical tastes. Her fun- loving personality meant she was a constant at the clubs contributing to the growing Australian house music scene.
Fast forward a few years and a move up north to the sunny state of Queensland, Cami began her DJing career making waves with her signature style of thumping house and techno in her adopted town of Brisbane. After competing in DJ competition Your Shot, she performed in local venues such as Bowler Bar, Wasteland, Empire Hotel and Family Nightclub (now known as Venue EI8HT). Satisfied with the experience she gained and always one to reach for the stars, she ventured overseas to hit international waters. Since then she has DJed across several renowned venues internationally including headline slots at Sankeys (Ibiza), Ocean Beach Club (Ibiza), Jet Sundays (Ibiza), Es Paradis (Ibiza), The Rainbow Venues (Birmingham), Shelter (London), Rooftop 16 (Tirana) and 360 Lounge Bar (Ayia Napa).
Cami has also kept busy by finishing her Bachelor of Public Relations university degree whilst drilling in to production work and studying a Diploma of Sound Production, majoring in Electronic Music Production, at SAE QANTM College. For the past two years she has also hosted her own weekly radio show-‘The Clubhouse with Cami Jones’ -on 105.7 Radio Metro.
As a DJ, Cami knows exactly what the crowd wants and when they want it. She takes her listeners on a journey, showcasing a variety of her favourite tunes whilst ensuring the mood of her dancefloor is exactly how she wants it to be- deep, dark and dirty. Her passion for each and every one of the tunes she plays shines through the energy of her sets and whether it be a thumping kick or a deep, dirty bassline, she brings a uniquely educated blend of underground house and techno to the decks.
Cami’s wide list of musical influences include Catz ‘N Dogz, Claude VonStroke, DJ Pierre, Mr. G, Nina Kraviz, Green Velvet, KiNK, Len Faki, Kill Frenzy, Shiba San, and Ciszak. Much like the multi-cultural country she comes from, she describes her style as a worldly blend drawing on the soulful elements of Chicago house, the pounding kick of Detroit techno, the underground feel of Berlin, the big basslines of London and the beautiful, deep melodies of the Balearic region. With her production work on the rise, a degree under her belt and a solid upcoming release schedule, 2018 has never looked better for this little dancing kid from the 90s.
