Disconecta is a party that aims to connect people through music and other real experiences in nature. Projects like this remind me the real purpose in life: to connect, to share and collaborate. There’s such a great potential when like-minded people get together! Each individual with a unique talent and touch.

Big thanks to DJ Dus for trusting me to show my musical references at this beautiful event, playing alongside him and some very talented friends who I also admire so much - Astronafrica and DJ Victor Lopes (Don't Hate The Groove). 

This set was a very intuitive one, and I hope you have fun dancing to it as much as I did. :)

Lu Faria is a Brazil-born, Australia-based DJ and cultural curator whose sets move fluidly between reggae, dub, Afro-diasporic rhythms and global electronic sounds. Rooted in sound system culture and dancefloor storytelling, Lu delivers high-energy, immersive journeys that connect tradition, resistance, and celebration.

Born in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and later moving to the bustling metropolis of São Paulo, Lu began her musical journey at the age of 11. She studied drums, guitar, violin, and music theory at the prestigious ULM (Universidade Livre de Música Tom Jobim), laying the foundation for her multifaceted career.

In March 2012, she was invited to perform her first DJ set on Women’s Day at Kitsch Club—a pivotal moment that opened doors to major nightclubs and events. Her curiosity and drive for growth soon led her to a Turntablism course at e-djs, where she honed scratching and performance techniques under the guidance of some of the best DJs in the scene.

Based in Sydney, Australia since 2017, Lu has been building a strong reputation for dynamic, crowd-connected performances across club and festival settings. Each set is carefully curated, balancing deep selections with powerful grooves that resonate across cultures. She has already shared stages with internationally acclaimed acts such as BaianaSystem and Gilsons, and performed at major Australian events including Subsonic Music Festival, Dayshift, and Keys to the City.
