LUXE is a DJ and producer who's firmly on the rise. Real name Lucy Hopson, she cut her teeth in Manchester as part of the B.L.O.O.M crew, later making the move to London where her skills both behind the decks and in the studio have quickly piqued the interests of promoters and DJs alike. 

There's a correlation between both ventures; her DJ sets are full of hefty bass, crisp breaks and driving trance sounds, while her productions so far have followed much of the same influences. With a few self-releases and compilation tracks under her belt, she recently made her solo debut for HAAi's Radical New Theory imprint, and Belonging is just as you'd imagine: hypnotic, chugging trance and breakbeat dripping with tittering percussion and warm sub bass.

There's plenty more to come for Lucy this year and beyond but first, she takes us through the gears on today's mix, launching at 100bpm and transporting us all the way up to 160...

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Don’t compare yourself to others! I feel like in this day and age of social media it’s easy to get sucked into likes and followers equaling the quality and worth of your music which simply isn’t true. As long as you’re moving forward and believe in what you’re doing that’s all that matters, the pace of which you do so, doesn’t.

"The concept for this mix was to recreate the types of sets that I've been playing recently in small intimate nightclubs from 5am onwards. The types of places where the only purpose is to get your head down and dance. It's kind of tripped out, deep and skippy. I feel as a DJ I have many avenues I go down but this is undoubtedly my absolute favourite flavour to play.

Our goal with Body Movements is that it is representative of the full – as much as possible – spectrum of the queer community within clubbing culture. We have a broad and diverse music policy and represent a wide range of sexual identities, cultures and ethnicities." - @saoirsemusic
