More about Helen Dukes: For Helen, music has always been more than just a soundtrack. It’s been a huge part of her life, from the dancefloors of the 90s to building her own independent fashion brand, Disko Kids. Helen first made her mark on Birmingham’s club scene in the 1990s, becoming a resident DJ at the legendary Wobble, a club that helped shape the city’s underground dance music culture. With a love of house, disco, soul and everything in between, her musical roots run deep, influenced by the clubs, records and dancefloors of that era. After taking a break from DJing to focus on family life and business, Helen returned to the decks. Recent appearances have included Mostly Jazz Festival,Camp Bestival, Wobble and a set at the iconic Pikes in Ibiza.
Alongside her DJing, Helen is the founder and creative force behind Disko Kids, an independent clothing and lifestyle brand celebrating music, nostalgia and individuality. Founded in 2016, Disko Kids was born from Helen’s love of music, club culture and fashion. What began as a small independent business has grown into a much-loved brand with a loyal community, bringing together music-inspired clothing, original designs and a healthy dose of nostalgia. The brand is heavily influenced by Helen’s own experiences growing up with music, from disco and soul to the acid house and clubbing years of the late 80s and 90s. It’s a celebration of the records, places and memories that stay with us. Now celebrating ten years of Disko Kids, Helen continues to combine her two passions, running the business while getting back behind the decks whenever she can.
