Kaval - Lost Drums Show (Juin 2025)

LIONESSA is an Egyptian-Canadian DJ based in so-called Vancouver. Her sets draw from a global upbringing in Egypt and across the Middle East, shaped by years in the West Coast rave scene. She blends Egyptian percussion as well as regional rhythms with underground global sounds that emerge from street culture and resist formal categorization.

Her work bridges cultural expression with global bass movements, delivering high-intensity sets that subvert traditional Middle Eastern/North African sound expectations while pushing the boundaries of the dancefloor.

She is the co-founder of Egyptian Street Meat, an all Egyptian artist collective, and a curator focused on building intentional, femme centric club spaces in Vancouver and her hometown Cairo. She also hosts Radio LABWA, a residency on Bside Radio spotlighting pioneering SWANA producers and highlighting the diversity of music from the region’s underground and diasporic scenes.


"Vancouver" is on the unceded territories of xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. As an immigrant, LIONESSA acknowledges her position as an uninvited settler on these lands.

----

LIONESSA delivers a deep, percussive trip through bass-heavy rhythms, raw textures, and clubwise tension. The mix carries a strong sense of movement—starting slow and spacious before shifting into high gear with blistering techno cuts, gqom-adjacent beats, and sharp-edged global grooves. It's playful, tough, and deeply rhythmic all at once.

"This mix is a reflection on the joy and drive to express myself despite the horrors that face my region and the dehumanization of my people. It oscillates between the rawness of deep hurt, rage and hope and lightheartedness."

If you’ve seen me (or some of my friends) play recently you’ll have heard these tracks - the pre-order is out today and you can download the A-side ‘Tom’s Tweaks’ on Bandcamp now.

Super happy to be putting these out on Local Action, thanks to Tom for all the help (and the tweaks). Woke up to three videos of it being played at Glastonbury which is usually a good sign.

Tom's Tweaks

It's certainly one of my best recorded mixes. There were no imperatives, no obligations, no need to do this one. Just two afternoons, one to dig and one to record.

This mix transcribes my influences and my musical universe with enthusiasm. With lots of new tracks this time. 125 to 140 bpm.

Thanks to everyone who sent me their music. Uk Funky, Percussive club, Dub, Techno, Hardgroove & UK Garage.

I promise you it was a fashionable haircut in the 90's.
