Bside Live: Lulah Francs

For show number #182 we were treated to a live recording with Lulah Francs in one of London's hottest record shops/bars/venues - Next Door Records (big shout out to past guest Thom Parris for making this work!)

Lulah Francs is a multifaceted artist wearing the hats of DJ, vocalist, songwriter, and is now combining all of these to produce her own music. Raised between the vibrant musical scenes of Ibiza and London, Lulah's roots run deep in the beats of House music. Over the past four years, Lulah's bustling schedule in the DJing has seen her play in renowned venues such as Printworks, Glastonbury Festival, Hï Ibiza, Badaboum (Paris), The O2 Brixton, Sisyphos (Berlin), and Pikes Ibiza, just to name a few.

Beyond the DJ booth, Lulah is actively engaged in collaborative projects with producers, showcasing her vocal prowess and contributing to a diverse discography. Her debut track landed on the vinyl-only label, Semi Delicious, followed swiftly by a release on Edible, Eats Everything's label.

Not confined to recorded tracks, Lulah experiments by infusing vocals into her live DJ sets, exploring uncharted territory with plans to delve even deeper. Her creation, 'sub:terra,' a club night and radio show, reintroduces the distinctive Acid House sound of the UK and East Coast, captivating a new generation of clubbers. With successful stints at venues like The Cause in London, the legendary Malanga Ibiza, and the non-binary/all-female festival Risen, sub:terra has garnered acclaim from Resident Advisor. Fold and Fabric are next on Lulah's sub:terra hit list, alongside intimate underground spaces that resonate with the authentic essence of her craft.

Lulah's summer of 2023 saw her conquering major festivals across the UK, including Gottwood, El Dorado, Secret Garden Party, and Noisily. Her high-voltage energy radiates in vinyl-only sets at iconic clubs like Village Underground, E1, Fabric, and beyond.

For her Bside Podcast she treats us to a collection of some her favorite house records coming in many forms. Enjoy!

Bside Live: Lulah Francs

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
