"I felt incredibly honored. Mark asking me to join him on tour was his quiet way of saying I like what you do. Truly the ultimate compliment." She would later join him on the road in support of the third and fourth installments of the Mushroom Jazz series. As well as the house release San Francisco Sessions for Om Records in 1999. A year later Heather released her own officially licensed mix "Tangerine" for the Chicago based Afterhours label. "With my debut compilation I hoped to simply illustrate that I could program and mix. I think I achieved that". With stand out reviews she hit the road on her own. That same year she returned to Chicago club staple Smartbar to begin her second residency at the venue. 2002 marked her inaugural trip to South Africa. "Visiting the continent was life altering. I went to Capetown and Johannesburg. Chanting, dancing, call and response throughout my set . I never had that type of true connection with an audience before. On top of all that, I was asked to make a speech after I played. Amazing." She was the first African-American woman ever to play there. The UK's Jockey Slut magazine touted her, as a star on the rise in their Feburary 2002 issue. The next month she won the first ever Dancestar award for Breakthrough DJ. "I was definitely surprised I was nominated but to win was even more shocking." That year Heather also began her relationship with the London club Fabric. "Really a great space for djs and live performances. The attention detail is fantastic. I felt so comfortable there." They felt the same and she officially became one of the residents in two years later. "I love that club" Named after her favorite soy yogurt, Blackcherry Recordings, made its debut with the buzz worthy single "Picture of You" featuring Heather along with D.C.’s own EastcoastcoastBoogiemen. " I came up with the name four years ago with intentions of starting a label. No project fit until this came along. I guess it was meant to be." Remix duties were taken on by some of house music brightest rising stars. Lawnchair Generals, Jason Hodges, Natural Rhythm and Cle provided diverse takes on the original. She plans to release her own original material on the label in 2006. " |
