Wilmslow Road became the training ground on which she’d develop her DJ skills, playing 50 capacity parties at a basement bar called Indigo, and pushing the decks out of her friend Craig’s living room window for low-key roof raves above a betting shop. Her adventures on Wilmslow Road also played a part in defining her style, which is very functional; contemporary brands like 1017 ALYX 9SM are perfectly crafted to mirror her on-the-go lifestyle, which involves a lot of moving around the city, and staying on her feet for hours. She likes to play around with proportion and layers, and juxtaposes unisex clothing - like an oversized t-shirt from Heron Preston - with her make-up and nails: “These little flexes of femininity wrapped in a big oversized jacket.”

Now having graduated to playing sets all over the world, Anz’s favourite hometown spots are Soup Kitchen and The White Hotel. “Soup has definitely been a big part of my journey DJing across the years,” she says. “Myself Jungle Joe, Finn, Tom Boogizm and Chunky held our very last party before lockdown there and I think that night will forever be crystallised in my mind.”
