Hailing from Buenos Aires, Lolu Menayed is a DJ and producer whose journey in the electronic music scene has been shaped by curiosity, courage and an unwavering pursuit of her unique sound. From an early age, she was fascinated by the power of beats to transform spaces and bring people together. This passion evolved into a profound devotion: she created her first tracks in her teenage bedroom and performed her first gigs in small clubs around the city. There, she learned how to build energy, maintain tension and engage the audience. With each performance, her unique style emerged, blending deep house with subtle acid elements and concise basslines that are both danceable and emotionally profound. Lolu is not afraid to experiment; her tracks are constantly reimagined, often featuring clear percussion and sometimes unusual samples that tell stories.
As a woman in a male-dominated scene, she has not conformed but instead created her own spaces. She has performed at renowned clubs such as Pacha Buenos Aires, La Boîte, Black Sheep and Dorian Gray, setting the standard with her performances. Her festival appearances, including at regional electronic events in Latin America and on European stages Ultra Music Festival, demonstrate her international reach and her ability to connect the crowd with the music. It’s not just her technique that impresses, but also her attitude: she performs with self-confidence and clarity of intention, and she is approachable. Collaborations with other producers and live sets on platforms such as Boiler Room increase her visibility and reinforce her role as an inspiring figure in the scene.
She releases her music on her own labels, such as DIGHOP Records and 44CUPIDS Records, as well as with international partners. Her releases stand out thanks to their striking basslines and hypnotic rhythms. Tracks such as “Nothing To U” and “Wild Wind” demonstrate her ability to combine traditional house structures with modern sound experimentation. Her remixes, collaborations and work with young talent highlight her dedication to the scene and her commitment to promoting women and diversity. Lolu sees labels not only as a platform for her own music, but also as an opportunity to raise the profile of a new generation of artists and provide them with the visibility that she herself often had to seek out.
What makes Lolu unique is her vision: for her, music is not just entertainment; it is a form of expression, a means of connection and a catalyst for change. Every track and set is an invitation to lose yourself, think along, and experience. She demonstrates that electronic music can be feminine, strong, creative, and independent without compromise. For the next generation of female DJs and producers, Lolu Menayed is a living example that passion, perseverance, and a distinctive style can open doors and create space for empowerment and diversity. Her work inspires not only on the dance floor, but beyond it too, through labels, mentoring and her consistent stance that artistic freedom is not a gendered issue. Anyone who hears her sets, whether in clubs, at festivals or online, will immediately feel the connection between energy, groove and deep artistic conviction — music that moves, empowers and raises awareness.
