Goldierocks

OK So, first things first. Goldierocks. That's Sam Hall; DJ, presenter and party planner du-jour. Now most renowned for her energised DJ appearances, invading parties and aftershows all over the land - at some point in time, Sam's probably hijacked your fave indie/electro haunt. But she's much more than London's latest party-person, skilled DJing aside, Goldierocks is also growing her reputation as a respected producer, remixer, presenter and music journalist…just some of the highlights are outlined below.
