LORA S

UP AND COMING LONDON BASED DJ, LORA S, DELVES INTO PAST AND FUTURE CLUB SOUNDS, BRINGING A SUPER-SMOOTH BLEND OF HOUSE, BREAKS, BREAKBEAT AND TECHNO.

“I’m always thinking about pace, and creating opportunities to get lost in the rhythms and melodies,” says LORA, the London-based DJ whose increasingly busy gig calendar and monthly radio slot on Balamii have turned her into a hotly-tipped name on the capital’s club circuit. Though originally a resident DJ at the legendary hip-hop party, Livin’ Proof, her sets these days are irresistible excursions into house and techno, inspired by her “mind-bending, truly moving and empowering” self-education in the genres’ Black roots in Chicago and Detroit.

“Being adventurous and creating euphoric dancefloor moments,” is what it’s all about, she says, while flourishes of UKG, blissed-out breaks and deep, bassy grooves leave ample room for “plot twists, excitement, and moments to catch one’s breath”. It’s a style she’s demonstrated on platforms like BBC Radio 6 and HÖR, Secretsundaze’s Hackney Wick festival alongside her own party, FLOORJAM, in South London’s The Carpet Shop.
