London-based producer and vocalist Throwing Shade came to the fore last year with EP 19 Jewels, one of the stand-out tracks —Sweet Tooth— is a perfect example of her deft ear for skating between sugar-dripping leftfield pop and hard-candied drum workouts with ease. Aside from her small but distinctive recording output, she hosts a fortnightly transglobal aural radio trip on NTS —a bit of Soviet-era Czechoslovakian disco one week, a Muslim jazz special the next!

As she makes her way up to Glasgow on the train to play at our 1st Bday, we asked for a wee insight into her week so far..

1. At the British Museum. Spotted this in the Ancient Mesopotamian gallery. Ishtar, Goddess of Sexual Love and War, sculpture from Babylon, Southern Iraq circa 2000BC

2. Copenhagen Fashion Week with my boyf Nicholas Daley who was showcasing his AW15 collection. Sick garms! So talented!

3. DJed at Jolene Bar in Copenhagen which was lots of fun.

4. Back to London and on a red on red on red photo shoot- all in anticipation of my next record release. Coming sooooon!
