Player & Purveyor of 'Isobelism'. House Music DJ & Broadcaster.


X - Press 2 gave us Muzikizm, Steve Lawler introduced Trib- alism, Laura Awang explains the meaning of Isobelism!
Isobel Pearson's interest in dance music began, as for most, on the dance floor at the impressionable age of 15. Successfully capturing the atmosphere, on the most crucial dance floors in UK’s North West.
This inimitable young lady, in short is referred to by her stalwart fans and friends alike, as a ‘Sleeping Giant’ as in a ‘Pot of gold wait- ing to be found’.
Refusing to label herself as playing any specific style of music, ’Genre’ being the common term. Isobel repudiates stereotype, de- fining her taste solely as her very own ‘Isobelism’. Consequently, no matter which genre she harvests her tracks from, the enduring motto is ‘If I like it, I'll play it’.
You can therefore imagine it is not unusual, in fact mandatory, to hear anything from the chugging sounds of Tech, Minimal to Jazzy, Electronic, Trance and even Disco in the same sitting.
First hand experience assures me of her genius and I find myself pledging undying love for the addictive atmosphere Isobel so effort- lessly conjures. This talented lady's sets are intelligently pro- grammed to perfection, and despite the vast array of musical vari- ety, each track has Isobel Pearson clearly stamped all over it. An easily achievable goal you may think, but you would seriously have to see this girl's attitude and energy levels while performing to truly appreciate her worth.
Coupled with outstanding taste in music, Isobel's indisputable tech- nical abilities behind the decks and unruly creativity equally formu- late a DJ, who is a pleasure to watch as well as listen to. Both quirky and edgy, her relentless sets leave listeners earnestly anti- cipating the next track and with the natural ability to captivate, educate and stimulate audiences, it justifiably grants her a permit, to boast qualities found very rarely within the female spectrum, of this blood thirsty business.
She energetically maintains the same enthusiasm for the job as she always has. Something I witnessed when I accompanied her to an exciting gig in America, being the first ‘Las Vegas Electronic Music Conference’.
After stumbling across their website, advertising for emerging artists to play at the conference, Isobel forwarded a mix across, and before long, she was eagerly contacted by promoters, congrat- ulating her on being chosen from many worldwide hopefuls. Amidst the week of jamborees, she subsequently went on to spin at several venues, including a ruthlessly memorable set at The Empire Club and Ice Club.
From there, she embarked on a three gig mini tour of the UAE in- cluding the elegant 360^ venue. Then a further tour of Australia, lead to co-promoting her own night, ‘Organic’ in Sydney, a success- ful night and residency which ran for the duration of her time in the City.
Back in the UK, Isobel has held long standing residencies in Liver- pool, West Yorkshire & Manchester.
    
 Appropriately anxious of the day when the opportunity arises to headline, at an already personally impassioned event, with im- mense capacities, is a given.
Isobel's objectives, as most artists, is to reach the top shelf of am- bitions and optimism, but that expand much further than the ac- complishment of definitive ranking. This inspiring lady is ultimately seeking to frontier the female flag.
But for now, a kilo of the correct representation, an ounce of some positive PR, not to mention several handfuls of diligence, en- durance, blended with, dare I say it again her exceptional talents, generate the sweet smelling recipe of success she so deserves. Confidently with a foothold firmly, and the final ingredient, a sprin- kling of luck there is only one way to continue going.
An encouraging story for all budding DJ’s, so make sure you show some support and check her out!
