Ranked Among the Top Female DJs on the East Coast
New York City -
Ranked among the top female DJs on the East Coast, Wendy applies the Golden Rule she lives by (“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”) to the dance floor. “As a DJ, you can’t be selfish and play only what you want to hear,” explains Wendy. “The key to a successful party is to take the crowd on a musical journey that will leave them with a smile on their face.” Mixing high energy, trance, tribal, deep house and classics, Wendy measures her night’s success by the number of arms in the air screaming for more.
Wendy Hunt began her career in Boston at clubs 1270 and Metro (now Avalon). It was 1975, the height of the funky-town era and a very exciting time for dance music. Metro was Boston’s largest dance club (or “disco”, as they called it back then) and Wendy played to capacities of 2,000 people nightly. “The club was always packed,” remembers Wendy. “People couldn’t get enough of the music!” As a result, she was offered a gig spinning continuous dance mix shows on local radio. “This kind of music had never played on the airwaves before.” Boasting both a radio show and a residency at the hottest club in town, Wendy remained a fixture in the Boston night scene for nine years.
In the late 80’s, Wendy felt ready for a change. She wanted more than just a club gig at the same place in the same city. It was time to focus her attention on national work. She pursued radio gigs in Charlotte, North Carolina, spun Paragon and Amnesia in Miami and appeared at venues throughout the United States including Columbus, Ohio; Washington, DC; Detroit, Michigan; and Honolulu, Hawaii. In 1997, she settled in what has now been her hometown for the past eight years - Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Though Provincetown may be known for it’s tranquil forests and seashores (“There are few places in the world as beautiful,” says Hunt), Wendy has remained a fierce force on the party circuit. She regularly works parties during Winter Party and White Party weeks in Miami and Palm Springs and in 2000, Wendy Hunt and DJ Julian Marsh released “Pride 2000” on the Centaur Entertainment label. This hugely successful CD continues to have phenomenal sales.
Throughout the summer of 2003, when she is not on the road, DJ Wendy Hunt will be spinning regularly at P-Town’s crown jewel, Crown & Anchor, her current residency. “I feel as though I’m living my dream,” says Wendy. “Everyday, I live in gratitude of all my successes.”
