Selections: Tiffany Calver
Tiffany Calver’s landmark four-year run on the Radio 1 Rap Show established her as a DJ at the top of the rap game. Alongside showcasing her passion and knowledge on the airwaves, she’s toured with Drake, hosted club nights with Little Simz and AJ Tracey, and launched her No Requests label, putting out music by Bandokay, Curtis J and more.
But since leaving the Rap Show last year to launch her own 1Xtra programme, The Tiffany Calver Show, she’s proven her talents and tastes extend into almost every corner of electronic music too. Through her shows and DJ sets she joins the dots between Afrobeats and UK funky, amapiano and Jersey club, UKG and R&B, and much more. Harnessing mashups, edits and her own skills on the decks, she’s crafted an energetic, hybrid sound that celebrates Black music from across the spectrum, and is an ideal fit for modern anything-goes dancefloors. Catch her in action on 1Xtra every Friday from 9-11pm or at one of her No Requests parties or other gigs; but for a sample of what to expect, here are her Selections.
