We had the pleasure of having Janette Slack – a woman of many musical talents – over to shoot yesterday. Beautiful, bubbly and speaking at a million miles a minute, we’d been talking for three hours before we even shot a single frame. A little snippet from her MySpace (where you should listen to her kick ass tracks), as well as some behind the scenes photos and a video Janette made for her video blog (see her YouTube account here)…

In a very short space of time, Janette Slack has established herself as one of the hottest artists around. Based in London, her sound is rooted in electro, house and breaks which she delivers with an infectious energy.

This year alone, Janette’s played Global Gathering, rocked clubs from Australia to Croatia, been featured in The Observer, presented for Channel V (Asia’s MTV equivalent), appeared in multi-page fashion shoots, and featured a guest mix and interview on Radio 1. Most excitingly she’s returned to the studio, and come up trumps with her new single for Air Recordings, ‘Take It/’Around The Block’.

One of dance music’s most charismatic young figures – London clubbers will be familiar with her turning up to gigs on her infamous roller-skates – Janette is a breath of fresh air in the somewhat character-less vacuum of the current club scene (you can still find Doug ‘Scratch’ Pray’s short film about her online).

A resident for both Air at Cargo and fetish event, Torture Garden, she’s renowned for her energetic, electro-filled DJ sets that defy even the most pigeon-hole obsessed muso. Musically, her productions circle the same waters.
