About me: Andrea Ahimie-Carthy (Trout)
My involvement in the music industry started about 6 years ago as I commenced DJing under the ‘Trout’ moniker, playing a wide range of styles centred around deep house, disco, funk and soul. A typical Trout session was once described as ‘a diversity of sounds from ‘80s soul to Brook Benton by way of good pop and funk from the future’.
I spin for fun, and am notorious for my pride in my lack of ability to mix! Did I say ability? – I meant need! This unpretentious approach to DJing has seen me spinning at such events as:
• Mr Scruff’s New Year’s Eve Party, Music box, Manchester
• Harter Street (Electriks), Manchester
• The Big Chill 2002/3/4/6&8, Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire
• Revolver, Melbourne, Australia
• The Medicine Bar, Custard Factory, Birmingham
• Phonic Hoop, The Enigma, Brighton
• Fidgit, Plan B, Brixton
• Fun Lovin’ Criminals After Show Party, Circle Club, Manchester
• Nish Nash Nosh (Electriks), Mint Lounge, Manchester
• Garden Festival, Zardar, Croatia 2006/7&8
• Omar @ Behind The Groove, Mint Lounge, Manchester
• Boogie People, Section 8, Melbourne, Australia
I have also DJed at Roots Before Branches, Soul Stew (Fifty7 Bar & Kitchen), Funkedemia, BamBu Presents...@ Bluu and Common.
In addition to getting myself DJ bookings, I have also set up an agency to do the same for others.
BamBu Agency & Promotions was launched in February 2003 and the roster currently includes DJs from New York: Qool DJ Marv (Friends & Family / Buttamiilk), and DJ Center (Music Lounge / Giant Step).
From the UK, Dom (Blood & Fire), Jonny Miller (Jus' Listen), Lady Driver (Danielle Moore, Crazy P), Martin Dulson, Tony S - Nutopians (Chibuku, Sankeys), Wai Wan (Earth Project).
If you would like to book Trout or any of our other DJs / would like more information, please get in touch: andrea@bambu.co.uk or www.myspace.com/andrea_trout.
One of Trout's regular sidelines is the collaborated effort between herself and her long time friend Mancunian artist Chris Cavetroll Drury.

Subdub&Exodus, New Bohemia, Vagabondz & The Doctors Orders have joined forces with Compost Records and the radio show Soulsearching to bring you an incredibly special weekend of music covering the best in Dubstep, reggae, hiphop, broken beat, drum & bass and dance-floor soul music on a setting taken straight from paradise.
The festival site is in the gorgeous surroundings of Petrcane, close to Zadar, A fishing village on a peninsular where the Dalmation Coast meets The Adriatic Sea. For those in the know it will be recognised as the same sight that the Garden Festival is held. It has an outside Amphitheatre for live acts, a Beach Side Terrace for day & night time dancing and a 1000 capacity nightclub for the beats to go on right through the night. At this beautiful site you can swim in the glistening Adriatic, dance on the beach under the stars, join us aboard the swashbuckling Argonaut Boat Party, get your groove on to a Funktion 1 Soundsystem in a retro Studio 54 styled nightclub or relax beneath the pines along the forested coastline.
