Name: Jamie Rio

Show: Lo Fi Hi Fi

When are you on?
I am on from 6pm to 8pm on the first Thursday of the month.

What type of music can we expect to hear on your show?
Up and coming alternative, anything that’s going make people dance, anything that people can move to, shake it to, anything that will get people going.

How did you discover this music?
By going to Lo Fi Hi Fi nights. But I’ve always had a love for guitar bands.

How long have you been DJ’ing?
About two years.

How did you start DJ’ing?
My fiends used to run Lo Fi Hi Fi. When they left university we asked if we could carry it on.

Can we find you DJ’ing anywhere other than on Phonic FM?
Yeah, I play at the Lo Fi Hi Fi nights at the Cavern.

What was has been your most embarrassing DJ’ing moment?
Pressing the queue button instead of the play button then having to hold the queue button down for three and a half minutes to play the whole song.

What has been your best DJ’ing moment?
The Freshers Ball – it was amazing. We played the Freshers Ball last year. It was incredible cause we were on the stage in front of 1000 people just doing what we wanted. It was a complete shock to all of us it was really surreal. We were like “Why are we here!”

Who is your favourite artist?
Erol Alkam. He’s the one who started the indie disco revival making remixes of guitar tracks and making them dance tracks not just guitar tracks. He’s one of the best in his field.

What is you all time favourite album?
General Disarray and Box of secrets by Blood Red Shoes.

Where do you shop for music?
Solo, Martian and Elusive Records. Elusive is a really good record shop in McCoy’s arcade I get all my vinyl from there.
