Born Charlotte Horne in Chester, England, she first established herself on the British dance scene in 1996 when she was chosen as a weekly resident of The Gallery, then one of London's top club nights. Toward the end of the decade she emerged as a producer with The Sound (1999), a 12" release on Duty Free Recordings, along with The Yob (1999), a co-production with Malcolm Duffy as Tribal Truble on Remote Recordings. Also in 1999, she was honored as Best Newcomer by Musik magazine. A few mix CDs followed -- 7 Live #2 (2000) on DMC, Snapshot (2001) on React, The True Sound of...Ibiza Nights (2002) on Musik -- along with the founding of Missdemeanours Music, a boutique label co-founded with friend Caroline Prothero (and originally a dance night founded in 1998). Lottie co-produced the inaugural Missdemeanours release, Booty Shake/Bad Bitch (2003), with friends Steve Mac and Mutiny under the alias Aficionados; she later produced Supakilla (2004) for the label. Lottie then receded from the spotlight for a few years before returning to the DJ circuit in the latter half of the decade. ~ Jason Birchmeier
