'I've quit my desk job to DJ at raves after realising I was happiest in the 90s'
24.06.2023 - 17:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Having worked an unfulfilling desk job for five years, Caroline Kelf believed she was destined for more. The mum-of-one had felt dissatisfied in her role for some time and was desperate to find her true calling in life.

Knowing she wanted to work in the wellbeing industry, the 46-year-old spent a year exploring different sectors before trying her hand at DJ’ing.
And it was love at first spin for Caroline, from Wilmslow, who says it instantly rekindled her passion for raving. “I just absolutely loved it from the moment I pressed play,” she told the Manchester Evening News.
“It was like I was rekindled with the energy I had when I was in my 20s. I kind of lost that when I became a mum.
“Someone told me if I wanted to find my purpose and joy I needed to think about a time I was happiest in life.
“For me, I was happiest when I used to go clubbing in the 90s and early 2000s – getting everyone back at afterparties, being in charge of the sound system and creating a vibe.
“I thought, right, that’s it – I don’t know how this is going to go, but I’m declaring to the world that I’m now going to become a DJ.”
Caroline announced her new role as DJ Flourish on social media just before the pandemic in January 2020 and was met with positive reaction.
“People only write nice things, don’t they?” she added. “The people who didn’t post anything must have thought, ‘Woah, she’s having a midlife crisis!’”
“It was one of those – I'm not sure if people thought I would stick at it, but people were happy for me.”
Once lockdown began, Caroline started
