Hi, I’m DJ Gwaan Gal aka Alicia Slater I began DJing whilst managing a nightclub in Downtown Auckland in the late 1990s. I have played extensively in Melbourne, Australia where I lived for a couple of years. In 2004 I returned to NZ and started the Dancehall gig – “Buss It Up”. This was a regular gig that originated at Galatos Nightclub, it has moved to 4:20, The Rising Sun, Hennessey and the last party was in 2008 at Khuja Lounge. I now live in Canada and continue to spin my records.
I was very fortunate to be a participant at the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy (www.redbullmusicacademy.com) in Seattle. I have DJed in North America, England, Australia and New Zealand. I also DJ with FJ under the guise – AK Jugglin Crew
In the past I was running Buss It Up, DJing on Fleet FM (88.3), interviewing for hip-hop magazine - Back2Basics and I’m Sales Manager for Jugglin' Records - your one stop reggae shop. Jugglin' specialises in Jamaican dancehall and reggae 7".
