Multi-genre DJ and newbie jungle producer (under alias Lw)

Lubi J is all about the selections, whether it’s old skool or modern, atmospheric, soulful or dark and moody, she loves strong tunes that create impact in the dance.

Based in Cardiff, she started off mostly playing soulful/liquid jungle dnb back in 2000, heavily influenced by Fabio’s liquid funk album and artists like Calibre, Carlito and Addiction, Bukem and the EZ Rollers. 

Despite mostly playing liquid in the early days her love for jungle and the darker styles was always there and she would still pull out tracks from labels like Ram, Liftin Spirits, Metalheadz, V Recordings, Full Cycle and Renegade Hardware. 

In the latter part of the 00s she discovered her love for disco, funk and soul after being educated by her friend and artist Hoxe on the history of breakbeats in jungle. This led to a handful of local residencies playing funk & disco over the course of the next few years. 

She then returned more prominently to playing jungle dnb around 2012 when Catapult Records (legendary record store in Cardiff) started putting on events in the unique Vaults venue. 

She’s held residencies and played at a number of different nights in Cardiff and over the bridge in the last 20 years, supporting a raft of the finest in the scene, including; Fabio, Bukem, Calibre, Storm, Digital, Spirit, Total Science, Mampi Swift, Djinn, Roni Size, Break, Alley Cat, Randall, Klute and Doc Scott.

After feeling the void of modern jungle and heavier dnb in the capital city, the year 2022 brought the start of putting on her own events with fellow DJ, Electra. 
Headspace was born.

In 2024 Lubi J started playing disco regularly again, expanding her passion for these uplifting sounds and exploring more of the soulful/disco house spectrum, often alongside her ‘disco wife’, Sister Sesh  at one of their now legend b2bs, often seen at Cardiff’s Shake The Horse.

In addition to this, Lubi J has been quietly exploring producing jungle dnb and had her first release on Exstatic Records - ‘One and all’ in January 2024, under a new producer alias ‘Lw’ (pronounced Lou - a version of the Welsh word for ‘oath’).

I'm a raving reposter, mostly of dnb and it's family of sub genres, tho branch into bass and psychedelia of all sorts, and mostly long play mixes, podcastes etc to spread the good sound of those awesome producers and dj's out there. Especially women dj/producers and other genders, non binary. Support your live local dj's and producers too 🔥 eyes on like a spider.
