Following our interview last week with Sabrina Burda of the SBND pair, we caught up with her musical accomplice, Natalie Dodge, to find out how Natalie got started as a DJ, her favorite artists and dream venue, and what’s on SBND’s playlist right now (you will LOVE it!).

Natalie Dodge & Sabrina Burda of SBND.
Vixely (V): How long have you been DJing? How did you start?
Natalie Dodge (ND): I first started DJing when I was with Sabrina about a year and a half ago. She taught me how to use the equipment and we would practice together every chance we could get. A plus is that I work for a dance music label in NY and I listen to this type of music everyday, so I think it was easier for me to figure out how to beat match and mix/ blend songs into each other.

V: Who are your favorite artists to listen to/ mix right now?
ND: How to choose! I think the DJs/ producers at the top of my radar at the moment are Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris, Third Party, Deniz Koyu, and Kaskade. Some up-and-comers to definitely watch out for are Paris & Simo, Walden, Danny Avila, Jakob Liedholm, Pierce Fulton, and Bauer & Lanford.

V: Dream venue?
ND: I would have to say Pacha in Ibiza. I hear it’s one of the most magical clubs in the world, and if we had the opportunity to DJ a party there, it would be a dream come true.
