Fasten your dancing shoes because Australia’s hottest female DJ, Amber Savage, is back to rock your Saturday night! Savage will take over The James Hotel on September 15 as she brings her beats to Launceston once again. The twenty-six year-old from Sydney’s north shore is set to create one big party.

Savage is one of the fastest rising stars on Australia’s trance-hard dance scene and has been dubbed the country’s “Queen of Hard Dance”. But her upcoming gig at The James Hotel will see a more subdued side to Savage. Nevertheless, Savage said punters could expect a night of “deep, dark and demented beats.”

Savage burst on to the dance scene as a nineteen-year old in 2000 and has spent the last seven years establishing her credentials through constant club gigs around Sydney.

‘‘I don’t know if I decided to do it (DJ) as a career but I really liked the concept of DJing through records and when I get my head into something I go out and buy all the equipment to give it a go,’’ she said. Savage said before she knew it, she had given up all her other “day jobs” to become a full-time DJ. ‘‘It was sort of natural progression and I still love doing it.’’

Best known for her tough music style and vibrant personality, Amber tours Australia regularly and headlines the biggest clubs and events around the country. ‘‘I became a permanent resident at Sublime at Home in Sydney a few years ago where I am still a resident,’’ she said. ‘‘Although I have had a few residencies in Sydney, Sublime is really the hub that we all love to play at.’’

Born in England, having grown up in Adelaide and now based in Sydney, Savage said that although she regularly toured the country, she would one day like to try her skills overseas. ‘‘I’d like to tour overseas but because we’re so far away from Europe people don’t usually like to spend money on us to go and do gigs over there,’’ she said.

‘‘If you live anywhere in Europe it’s easy because for them - it’s like us flying from Sydney to Queensland - but to fly a DJ all the way over there is costly and I can understand that. New Zealand and Asia seems a little bit easier for us so I’ll try and focus on that market for the moment.’’

Amber focuses her Savage talents at The James Hotel, September 15.
