Charlotte Horne (born 1972), known professionally as DJ Lottie, is a house music disc jockey and record producer from Chester, England. Lottie is one of the first female DJs to have significant impact in UK dance music.
Career Horne, born in 1972, grew up in Chester, England. She started DJing , initially under the moniker DJ Horny after her surname and then as DJ Lottie. Lottie's career began in Northern England before she moved to work in London clubs in 1993 including a residency at Turnmills. She recorded an Essential Mix for BBC Radio in 1998. By 1999 Lottie had won the best new DJ category at the annual Muzik magazine dance awards, and was one of the first women to have major impact in the UK dance music scene. In 2002, she was the first woman to headline at the Ibiza nightclub Space. In July that same year, she was featured on the cover of Muzik magazine who called her the "Queen of Ibiza" and ranked at number 45 on the world top 100 DJs poll.
Lottie's style of music has been described as both acid house and tech house, and she is also known as an early proponent of "filter disco bass bumping house" though she claims her sound evolves over time. Her career has included standing in for BBC DJ Pete Tong, hosting the radio show Essential Selection.
