The in-demand hip hop DJ who’s now mkaing waves with her own tunes She’s conquered hip hop; now, with her own material, it’s time for Yasmin to set her sights on the world beyond. In the past year she’s supported Dizzee Rascal at Ibiza Rocks, played at Glastonbury, supported N.E.R.D, started her own night in London and has begun working on her own material, with ShyFX co-producing a few tracks. But she still won’t spend hundreds of pounds on a handbag, as her parents taught her to be careful with money. “I never dress up too much because I don’t want anything to take away from the fact I’m a good DJ,” she says. “I hate hype and fuss – but I can hype myself up with a few mojitos!” With her new tracks coming out at the beginning of next year and judging by the buzz around her already, she’s certainly going to have to keep those mojitos coming thick and fast... www.myspace.com/yasmindj Yasmin wears fur jacket, £POA, Reem (www.reemalasandi.com), tricot leggings, £28, American Apparel (www.american apparel.co.uk), Eleonora wedges, £250, Kurt Geiger (www.kurtgeiger.com)
