DJ Lisa Lashes is hailed throughout the
world as the undisputed Queen of Hard House. Lisa’s
tireless dedication to the hard style has made her not only
a superstar in her native UK, but also the world’s most
popular female DJ. Lisa is the first and only female to be
considered among the top ten DJs in the world by DJ Magazine,
ranking ninth in 2000 and continuing as the top-ranking female
DJ in 2001, 2002, and 2003. The Lisa Lashes mixed albums,
Hard House Euphoria (2002) and Extreme Euphoria Vol. 2 (2003),
also achieved the status of highest selling hard house compilations
in the world. Most recently, Lisa conquered Ibiza with her
own Lashed in Ibiza nights at Eden, packing in the crowds
with her superb technical skills and explosive musical style.
“Whatever style of house it is, I play it hard and dirty;
it’s my favourite way!”
Lisa Lashes’s first gig was at a boat party on the
River Severn in 1996, where she was discovered by Madders
(Polysexual, formerly of Sundissential) and quickly given
her first residency. From there, Lisa added further residencies
and regular club nights at the most prestigious clubs in the
UK, including Base, Escape, Euphoria, Eat Your Words, Frantic,
Fully Charged, Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Golden, Goodgreef,
Hotdog, Koolwaters, Naughty But Nice, Progress, Radioactive,
ROAR, Scream, Slinky, Storm, Temple Theatre, The Met, Tidy,
and Transaction. Since 2000, Lisa has also headlined all of
the top festivals — Godskitchen Global Gathering, Homelands,
Tidyweekender, Tidy Magna, Creamfields UK and Ireland, Homelands,
Knebworth, Escape Into the Park, and Gatecrasher Summer Sound
Systems—while at the same time playing numerous special
events, including 2FM in Ireland, Godskitchen and Sundissential
University Tours, Radio 1 - One Live in Nottingham, Radio
1 - One Live in Brighton.
Lisa has as also displayed her ferocious skills in locales
around the globe. She claimed another ‘first’
on the Slinky in Heineken Tour in China as the only female
DJ to have played to a crowd of over 5,000 in that country.
In South Africa, Lisa performed at sold-out shows of 15,000
in Cape Town and 20,000 in Johannesburg as part of the Camel
Cigarettes Tour. Lisa has also toured the United States, Canada,
and Australia, while making appearances in Brazil with Guess
Clothing, Tenerife, and Corfu.
One of Lisa’s most important accomplishments in 2003
was the successful launch of Lashed in Ibiza www.lashedibiza.com
For several years, Lisa has held residencies in Ibiza, the
summer’s hottest club location, playing Godskitchen,
Judgement Sunday’s, Slinky, and Tonic, to name a few.
Lisa, however, wanted to create something completely unique,
“to put the fun back into the party.” For 15 weeks
in summer 2003, Lisa did just that, bringing her furious brand
of music to legions of grateful clubbers. For Lisa, “It
has to be the most amazing project I have ever been involved
with.”
The next stage involves bringing Lashed to an even greater
global audience. To further this goal, Lisa has teamed with
Nettwerk Management, whose international experience will help
to cement Lisa Lashes as a top world DJ and Lashed as a premiere
dance event. Beginning in 2004, Lashed will travel to China,
Korea, Canada, New York City, Miami, Holland, Australia, New
Zealand, and Japan. To all UK fans, however, Lisa says, “I’m
not leaving anyone, because hard house and the stuff I play
in the UK is still massive here, so there’s no reason
for me to go away. I just want to go abroad to show them our
style.” In fact, Lisa has already brought Lashed back
home to the UK. In December of 2003, Lashed in Coalville was
a sold-out event, and upcoming London and Liverpool shows
in early 2004 promise to reach the same height of success

It is impossible, however, for Lisa’s talents to be
constrained to DJing alone. She has produced Tidy’s
two biggest-ever selling hard house tracks, “Unbelievable”
and “What Can You Do 4 Me”, along with “Lookin’
Good” and “Dance 2 The House (Don’t Go)”
for Tidy, “We Came We Saw” for Sundissential,
and “Give It All You’ve Got” for The Originator.
In addition, Lisa’s mixed albums for Tidy, Slinky, Mixmag,
and Euphoria, which include a gold disc for Hard House Euphoria
and a silver disc for Extreme Euphoria Vol. 2, have been acclaimed
by critics and embraced fans. Future releases include studio
collaborations with BK, the biggest hard house producer in
the world and many more!
Rest assured that whatever Lisa Lashes does, she does it
hard and dirty, it’s her favourite way.
