Dj Culture: TRENDY WENDY schofield
WENDY'S christmas PARTY MIX PODCAST
Wendy Schofield, better known as Trendy Wendy, began DJing in 1992, just for fun.
She was introduced to the Edinburgh club scene three years later as DJ and promoter of the now legendary Tackno, a club that, musically, went where no club had dared to go, mixing kitsch, pop, classics, easy listening, soft rock and pure cheese.
Since then Trendy Wendy has played in every reputable venue in town and was once voted Best DJ, ahead of Fatboy Slim and John Peel. Over the years she has played residencies at 4-Play, Time-Tunnel, Pop Fiction, Joy, Wiggle and The Snatch Social. Wendy is also part of the partnership that own Edinburgh cafe bars The Street and Elbow.

What is this month's floor filler?
Totally depends on where I'm playing. However, as it's December, I should probably say that every year. My most requested Christmas songs are Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You and The Pogues' Fairytale of New York.

Who was/is your DJ guru/inspiration?
It has always been Fatboy Slim aka Norman Cook. I think there's still an opening for a female equivalent.

What was your most banging Edinburgh gig ever?
The Hogmanay that I brought Armand Van Helden over from the US to play at The Big Splash at Ocean Terminal. It totally rocked, was an amazing night, and it was an honour to warm up for a DJ of such standing.

Favourite all time track?
Just has to be Ain't No Mountain, by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. It's one song I never tire of playing or hearing.
