She introduced her then-boyfriend Goldie to the drum & bass scene, and together the trio founded the Metalheadz label in 1994, leading it for two and a half years before Kemistry & Storm departed. Their mid-90s sets were noted for exceptional track selection and long, carefully crafted mixes; the pair were among the first women DJs to have a widely distributed mix album (DJ-Kicks: Kemistry & Storm, 1999, released posthumously for Kemistry). Olusanya died in a car accident in April 1999, aged 35.
