LUXE (GB)

Within the UK club scene, few occupy the space that London-based artist LUXE has carved out for herself in recent years. As a DJ, she’s a fixture, noted for her eclectic yet focused selections able to simultaneously blend in and stand out on a wide range of lineups, unperturbed by genre or scene constraints. As a producer, she is rapidly making a name for herself as a purveyor of thoughtfully multifaceted music that finds life on, and increasingly, beyond the dance floor.

Originally based in Brighton, LUXE studied classical music from a young age, with focus on flute, piano and voice. Following a move to Manchester for university, her focus shifted toward the city's rich club scene. Since moving to London, her various disciplines have begun to converge – the open-ended possibilities of electronic music, the invaluable underpinning of music theory and the understated confidence afforded by years of classical practice.

Her ever-evolving sound has found home on labels such as HAAi’s Radical New Theory, Borne Fruits, Dansu Discs and Accidental Meetings, as well as a forthcoming release on D. Tiffany’s esteemed Planet Euphorique. Her hybrid mentality is one reason why LUXE is booked across a multitude of high-quality yet varied lineups, having graced the stages of London’s mammoth Waterworks Festival, returned to Manchester to play Pride weekend alongside Or:la at The White Hotel, and most notably, recording several guest mixes for Mary Anne Hobbs’ iconic BBC Radio 6 Music show, as well as opening the station’s stage at Field Day 2022. In the words of DJMag: "LUXE makes it look easy."
