english drum'n'bass dj duo kemistry and storm were not only
recognized for their talents, but also for being successful women
in a male-dominated genre of music. their history with drum'n'bass
involves being an essential part of the foundation of the
metalheadz label and some of the first women djs to have a widely
distributed album.
kemistry (kemi olusanya) and storm (simply known as jane) met while
they were in college in northampton, england. though no music
connection was made at the time, their paths would continue to
cross despite the fact that they both moved on to different parts
of england. at one point they both had boyfriends in the same band
and later kemi attended fashion school with storm's cousin. though
storm was attending school for radiography at oxford, she felt her
passion to work was not strong enough and, eventually, would not be
able to compete with her passion for music. at the same time, kemi
was a make-up artist working in the london fashion industry.
ironically, it was in sheffield that kemi first was exposed to the
emerging electronic scene through a friend of hers. through going
to a large number of events and exposing herself to the music it
became a part of her life. that year, storm moved to london and was
introduced to electronic music by kemi. though music was always a
surface interest, both of the women decided to give up their
budding careers to chase their enthusiasm for one in music.
the two began djing shortly thereafter and going to clubs with a
co-worker of kemi's named goldie. all three became enthused by the
budding form of music called drum'n'bass. by 1994, goldie had
become an emerging member of the music scene and established the
metalheadz label. helping their friend out, kemi and storm helped
goldie manage the label for two-and-a-half years. at the end of
that time, the duo decided to leave the label and work on their own
careers as performers. in 1999, shortly after their departure, the
two landed a slot in the dj kicks series from respected label
studio k7! the release of the cd lead to the two friends djing
around the world and paving the way for other, younger, female djs
and a more successful future.
just as their career in music was coming to a climax, tragedy
struck the duo. on april 25, 1999, kemi olusanya was killed in a
car accident outside of winchester, england, as the two were
returning from a performance. her death was a shake to the
electronic music community.
