When I turned 13, my father gave me the record Today Tomorrow And Forever by ELVIS. Since then, I have bought a large collection of ELVIS music together. But I don't just listen to his songs - I love his music and that's why I live his music and sing it myself. So I am also one of his biggest fans and ELVIS lives on in all of us :-)

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

Hello, I’m Sharlese Jul-anetia Metcalf, she/her pronouns. My DJ name is Sharlese and on IG it’s Sh6rl6s6. One fun fact about me is I like to write fan mail. I’ve made many friends this way. I like to tell people that I like their music or their mixes so they feel appreciated. 

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Riding the bus. I ride the bus to and from work, mostly and sometimes I don’t listen to anything, but the natural noises from the bus. Sometimes it gets real wild with situations and other times, it’s just regular busy bus noises. 

Favorite sound in nature? Describe how it makes you feel. 

I love the sound of the wind. Sometimes she starts screaming and I feel like she’s telling me to stop overthinking. I find some comfort in hearing the wind, she’s moving things around and adding some texture to the world. 

What was your best moment on the dance floor?

Watching Pablo Bozzi at the XXX-Floor at Berghain and crying for his entire set. Questioning my life, my contribution as a DJ and my overall purpose and absolutely dying over his set. I kept dancing and I wore sunglasses and kept getting compliments on them. Some people noticed that I was crying and asked me if I was ok, others offered me drinks and the rest complimented me on my sunglasses. This entire situation might sound awkward, but crying felt good and thinking about my life felt necessary and seeing Pablo was essential because I love him. I was alone and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I learned so much that day, about myself and a bit of the club world and I’ll never forget it. I’m still processing and also finding it a bit funny that I was so dramatic. 

Longest you've stayed up and why?

Three days because I was at Movement in Detroit and I didn’t want to miss one thing so I went for it and it was all worth it.  

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Pure, fucking, ravepop, happiness! 

Dream DJ gig?

XXX-Floor at Berghain or Dekmantel :) 

What was your first gig? How did it go? 

My first gig was at a space called Electric Tea Garden in Seattle. I played witch house, minimal synth and cold wave. They were a bunch of tracks I found on a blog site at the lowest of the low quality. I was trying to mix it, but I had no idea what I was doing. Someone actually came up to me and asked if I was a new DJ and I felt so embarrassed. Overall I give myself an A+ for cool tracks and knowledge, D- for the quality of the tracks and C- for not knowing how to handle the situation and an E+ for feeling embarrassed. 

Any advice to upcoming DJs?

Do it because you love it and you don’t have to say yes to everything and you don’t have to be at every after-party to get a gig. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More headlining slots featuring black and trans women and the termination of hierarchical name positioning on event flyers.

I Never Saw a Man as Strong as you

A bunch of music that probably isn't cool anymore. Recorder was fucked so this shits in mono. Also the file got split in the middle so there's a little glitch around 40 mins in.
