058: Katie Goodman Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Katie Goodman is a resident DJ of the world famous Glitterbox brand as well as being an integral part of the Defected Records family. Her discovery of House Music in her late teens gave her a purpose to hit the dancefloor and, whilst promoting events at a local club in her native Essex, she realised that she could turn her talents to DJ-ing as well. Setting her sights on a career at Defected, Katie put in the hours and made her dream a reality within a few short years. A real student of the scene, often digging for tracks that go way back, her dexterity behind the decks can be witnessed at places like the infamous Wild Corner within Ibiza's Ushuaia megaclub or from the sunny shores of Defected's Croatia Festival.
