FMB MIXTAPE 266 | LORA S (iTUNES)
Hackney born and based, Lora S is a refreshing addition to the electronic music scene. She runs the club night Floorjam, a space that celebrates underrepresented talent in electronic music. Taking influence from Chicago and Detroit, her sets embrace house, acid, breaks, techno and the versatile fringes of wider electronic music, with big influences from R&B melodies, Hip Hop flair and African percussion. She primes any dancefloor she graces with the distinct pacing of her sets, eclectic selections, often with a curveball or two added in to her somewhat chaotic yet dexterous traversing of sounds.
Let’s catch up…
I’m currently recovering from post-holiday blues after a recent trip to Marseille… Summer is in full swing so I’ve been balancing working my day job alongside DJing out and about in London. I filled in for blissy e on Voices Radio last month and have played some fun parties across London over the last couple of months including at Venue MOT with Shortlist, Sugar Rush with Tommy Gold and my own club series, Floorjam, at The Carpet Shop back in May.
This mix was recorded in one take, on a cloudy afternoon in London with an pioneer xdj set up. I wanted to put together a mix that was high energy and featured tracks new and old that I’ve been enjoying playing out of late. There are some real gems included and it’s definitely a mix made for dancing!
Up Next…
I’m playing a couple of gigs I’m really looking forward to including NT’s Loft with Mike Dunn and Colour Factory’s 4th birthday this month. Aside from DJing, I’ve been working on production so I’m looking forward to slowing down and spending more time on that side of things. There are also some forthcoming releases via Floorjam from talent we really believe in that I’m excited to share in soon!
