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 radio show for Resonance FM 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).

Lucky Cat has now had 3 series (2006- 2009). Previous shows have included a feature on the Chinese contribution to Reggae, live performances from British East Asian singer songwriters, interviews with cultural arts organisers and a live freestyle performance Chinese rappers Dragon Tongue Squad.

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.

In 2009 Zoë produced a documentary feature on Chinagrass (folk music from the grasslands of China) for Resonance FM.

Series 4 of Lucky Cat begins on Thursday 21st of January at 7pm on Resonance 104.4FM (www.resonancefm.com) and will end on 8th April.

Zoë has held club nights for Chinese and Thai New Years and themed nights.

She DJs regularly and last year bookings included an Anna May Wong event and Chinese Night at the Raindance Film Festival.

All the latest information on gigs and podcasts of Lucky Cat can be found on her blog.
