Zoë Baxter
DJ/Radio presenter
Zoë started Djing at parties in 2000 and progressed to Internet radio and then community radio. She has always had a keen interest in East Asian cinema and cuisine and this lead her to investigate East Asian music. Now she is a collector of vinyl with a specialist interest in 1960’s ‘Asia Beat’.
In 2005 Zoë presented and produced Ni Hao Chinatown parts 1 & 2 for the London community arts radio station Resonance FM focusing on the Save Chinatown Campaign and the history of Chinese immigration in London.
Following on from this Zoë presented and produced a weekly one hour radio show for Resonance FM from October 2005 - June 2006 called Lucky Cat. With a focus on Chinese and East Asian culture the magazine style programme featured guests, music, film and art reviews and topical issues (e.g. the Takeaway Racism Campaign).
The series included 2 programmes on the Chinese contribution to Reggae music and also a programme featuring a live performance by Korean punk band Crying Nut.
In 2006 Zoë produced and co-presented Heroines of Hong Kong and Chinese Cinema (from Ruan Lingyu to Anita Mui Yim Fong), a 30-minute documentary for Resonance FM for the cinema series I’m Ready for My Close Up.
Most recently Zoë has finished another series of Lucky Cat for Resonance FM, which ran from October 2007 – March 2008. This was again a mixture of music with a focus on East Asian Culture. Featuring regular recipes in The Dim Sum Lunchbox, interviews and a live freestyle performance from Dragon Tongue Squad (Beijing rappers). Series 3 of Lucky Cat will be aired later this year.
Zoë has held club nights for Chinese and Thai New Years and themed nights. All the latest information on nights and podcasts of Lucky Cat can be found on her blog.
She is available for DJ bookings and lives and works in the Kent/London area. Please contact us to get in touch with Zoë.
