When director Doug Scratch Pray set out to find people who embody an independent attitude for his short film series Veer, he hit the bullseye with Janette Slack. In the film you meet a strong-minded DJ/producer with intelligence, experience, an exhausting schedule, and dreams of world domination. In the flesh you get exactly the same thing. Janettes house-driven progressive, electro and breakbeats have rocked Australia, Asia, Europe and North America from the hottest spots in Montreal to desert parties in California. Shes an experienced producer and remixer, and thats before you mention label-management, club production, stage management, modelling... Catch her if you can. Her advert and full page picture for Dr Martens has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Fader and Nylon magazine to name a few. International DJing came early for Janette. She mastered her native Hong Kong with residencies throughout 2000-2001, took on gigs across the rest of the world, and is now based in London. Drawing on elements from progressive, electro and breaks, she has a very defined signature style, but also the breadth of taste to explore the full range of the scene. Janette sees production and DJing as inseparable. No mere bedroom producer, she has the technical know-how to drive studios large and small, and experience recording both electronic and rock acts. After completing an Audio Engineering course with distinction in June 2002, she sharpened her skills as Audio Engineer for New World Music Group. Guys who mistook her for just a pretty face have been severely humbled when she set them straight on the finer points of their equipment.

TEACHING
A qualified teacher, Janette regularly donates her time to community projects teaching underprivileged kids the art of music making and DJing, focusing on the latest music equipment and software.

DOCUMENTARY
In 2004 director Doug Pray (of hip hop doc Scratch fame), chose Janette as a subject of a day-in-the-life documentary, Veer, about people taking a different direction. A subsequent Dr Martens ad campaign based on Dougs films means you can see Janette in magazines across the world, especially in the US. See the full project at www.drmartens.com

MODELLING
She keeps it very separate from her DJing, but Janettes not proud to make some money from her looks, (Vauxhall Cars, Pepsi, Theme) and music videos.
