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.

For Ney Faustini, it's about the music above all else – and this purpose resonated with some of the main events, clubs and festivals in Brazil, such as Dekmantel São Paulo, Rock in Rio, DGTL and Boiler Room. Based on his predilection for the artistic movements of Detroit, Chicago and London, this DJ and producer was able to cross generations, remain firm in the face of the everchanging trends, burst bubbles and absorb the different vertices of club life, supported by a collection of records that expands his three decades of research and denotes his tireless creative effervescence. With performances and collaborations as broad as his musical repertoire, he has established himself as one of the most relevant artists in Brazilian dance music.
