There was something in the air, a sense of tension. Out here in the middle of nowhere there wasn’t much to be seen for several miles. That had always been the intention.

Gathered amidst a small clearing they all looked tense and excited, for something big was about to happen.

Then someone walked forward, flicked the switch, cranked the generator and let everything rip.

For miles the sound would echo and boom. The rave had began.

X & Ivy hold no punches on a new release for Life and Death – a fast paced affair which flies off the hinges from the get go. This one slaps.

Any track that makes you go 'hell yeah' is one played and loved by LOLO P*. The Belgian DJ has a deep love for all things groovy, funky, and bouncy. Her nightlife journey began working for clubs in Ghent, such as Chinastraat, where she got in touch with different genres, surrounded by friends and coworkers who were deeply into the DJ scene. She started collecting tracks from parties and friends, discovering local and big artists, until the urge to create her own sets started to itch.

When she moved to Uganda, she played her first set for Underground Kampala, the biggest underground collective in the city. From there, she quickly became an established DJ in Uganda, playing for a variety of collectives, organizing events and connecting the local scene.

Surrounded by the growing electronic movement and the open-air parties of Kampala that already gained media coverage by Resident Advisor and Mixmag. LOLO P*  blends deep house, disco-infused house, and energetic breakbeats into floaty, driving sets that keep you moving all night.

Her sets - and her energy dancing to her sets - are crafted to spark euphoria: uplifting, dreamy, funky, and full of infectious energy.
