Lulu Levan

Lulu Levan (also known as Dr. Lulu Le Vay) is a multifaceted creative: DJ, academic, lecturer, podcaster, music consultant and author. Her unique brand as a “PhDJ” fuses the energy of the dancefloor with the insight of academia – bridging her deep love of music with a passion for writing, education and cultural research.

With a credible, playful and intuitive approach to DJing, Lulu has become a regular fixture across high-profile venues including The Ned, Pikes Ibiza, Soho Farmhouse, The Edition and Soho Warehouse in LA. She’s held residencies at London favourites such as Thirteen LDN, the House of St Barnabas and the Groucho Club. Known for her instinctive ability to read a room and elevate a dancefloor, Lulu’s sets are rooted in connection, creativity and musicality.

She has shared line-ups with dance music heavyweights including Todd Terry, The Blessed Madonna, Goldie, Pete Tong, Groove Armada, Hot Chip, Greg Wilson, Smokin’ Jo and Late Nite Tuff Guy. Her musical selections are vibrant and eclectic – spanning disco, nu-disco, afro-house, soul, 80s electro, funk, reggae, old school hip hop and R&B.

Lulu’s artistic evolution continues: in summer 2025 she launched her debut release as a writer and co-producer under the moniker Love Underground. The track, The Journey Vol.1 – a soulful house cut with a nod to 80s electro-funk grooves – was created in collaboration with Thomas Davidson (aka Tommy D) and released on ChilliFunk Records. The track has received love from numerous radio stations such as Soho Radio, Mi-Soul and Jazz FM and DJs such as Danny Krivit, Horse Meat Disco, and Sophie Lloyd.

Her wide-ranging creative output and warm professionalism have also led to collaborations with brands such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, Netflix, MAD//Fest and Alpine, and performances at cultural events alongside figures like broadcaster and journalist Miranda Sawyer.

Whether behind the decks, in the studio, at the page or in the classroom, Lulu brings soul, substance, and most importantly fun to every project she touches.
