DJ Sophie Joy .:::. Curator of Jazzy Beats and Funky Jams

Digs on horn stabs, jazz licks, a whole lotta soul and funky hip hop beats. She's also had her own show on local station RPP FM too.

Self confessed music nerd, Sophie Joy has been taking over stereos at every opportunity for most of her life. From being THAT person at a party who has 'just one more song' to play for you, to having actually being paid to choose music once upon a time as a programmer for Triple M Melbourne and Mix FM Perth. Funk, soul, hip hop and jazz influenced beats for the discerning music lover.

Last week I was feeling a bit blahhhh, so I decided to do something to treat myself. Normally, I’m a massage kind of gal, but my beautiful friend Kez from is offering all these amazing treatments - some of which she’s the only operator on the peninsula - so I thought I’d try something new.

This is me in the super fancy cocoon of the HOCATT Ozone Sauna, which followed my Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEFT) session. I’m not even going to begin to pretend I knew what goodness I was receiving! I can only tell you I felt relaxed and awesome afterwards.

Check out Kez and all the amazing treatments she offers and support local, friends x

Saturday night I’ve got you covered for some funky jams at from 6pm. They’ll have the fire cranking as the kitchen serves up the deliciousness while the bar staff keep your cups full. And I’ll fill your cup (metaphorically speaking), with fat, funky bass lines. Tasty! 😋 See you there! 👌🍻🔥

Winter nights with my favourite little snuggler!
She misses her Tubba boy. But it’s nice because she’s always next to me now and greets me with the loudest meows as I’m walking up to the front door when I get home. Oh gosh, cat! I love you 💕

What are you up to on this delightful first weekend of the school holidays? I’ll be spinning some sort of funky, good time grooves at this Sat night from 6pm. Might even slip in some more jazzier hip hop numbers like this one. We’ll see what the crowd is like! You should totally come and be a part of it! Hope to see you there 🍻

Also, can we take a minute to appreciate the creative genius of who gave me the most bangin’ haircut recently? Thank you Mila!! 😘😘😘 You’ll find her at in Dromana (although she’s literally on a plane heading home for a month right now!) But drop in and see any of the team for a fresh cut! Biggest legends THE most creative team around! And always playing some choice tune, too! 🏄‍♂️ 🎶 💇

It was around this time, 10 years ago that I started DJing live. At the time, I worked behind the bar at and had built a lot of playlists for the venue on iTunes using my own music (in a time before Spotify!). When the resident DJ, Tim, left for overseas, knowing I had decks, Dumpy and Ness (original owners), asked me if I wanted the gig. Yeah I wanted the gig!! I was pretty fu***ng s**t though to begin, let’s be honest. I learnt to mix well in front of a live audience. Every Sat 9pm-1am I played funk and a lot of old school, underground hip hop. My earlier sets were heavily influenced by , and . I loved that residency. I loved God’s. That place and all the people and friendships and messy nights still hold a special place in my heart.

Since then, I’ve swapped lugging the vinyl turntables everywhere for a very convenient (and light!) controller, more disco and funk than hip hop, I wear shoes while playing now and the never ending bevs have been swapped for water.

(I bloody love hip hop and would love the chance to play a full set of it again. Is there a market for it down here? I don’t know.)

Just getting a bit nostalgic over here thinking about how far I’ve come since that first gig where I literally was shaking trying to get the needle on the record.

Super grateful for the original opportunity which has led to 10 years of funk across the peninsula. From weddings to kid’s discos, festival stages and the chance to play some of the best venues and meet some of the peninsula’s finest hospo crew, I am always so grateful to be trusted with an audience to create the vibe.

Thanks for having me! Here’s to many more years to come! 🙏♥️🙌

Our Story

A lover of big beats and funky bass, she’s got a mixed bag of delights for you. Funk, soul, jazz and hip-hop inspired beats and breaks, she’s quite fond of a good edit and mash up, too. Glitch hop, disco, house, reggae, dub… Her sets can head in just about any direction!
