Lulu Levan

Lulu Levan (also known as Dr. Lulu Le Vay!) is a professional DJ, academic, lecturer, podcaster, music consultant, journalist and author. Her playful brand as a ‘PhDJ’ combines her worlds of music and academia, as her love of music is just as prolific as her love for writing, education and research. Lulu has been a regular fixture at The Ned and across the Soho House group, Soho Farmhouse and The Edition and Soho Warehouse in LA, as well as boasting residencies at Thirteen LDN, the House of St Barnabas, and the Groucho. Lulu has a playful, credible and creative ear for tunes, and has a natural flair for reading a crowd and filling a dance-floor. Over the years she has brought musical joy and high vibes to crowds at festivals such as Citadel, Lovebox and Bestival, and is a regular at the infamous Pikes hotel in Ibiza. Lulu has shared line-ups with and supported DJ royalty such as Todd Terry, Blessed Madonna, Pete Tong, Greg Wilson, Smokin’ Jo, Honey Dijon and Late Nite Tuff Guy.

In addition, Lulu’s wide range of interests matched with her friendly, professional approach have led her to performing at art events such as Ryan Gander’s after-show party in Manchester (with broadcaster and journalist Miranda Sawyer) & London’s Art Car Boot Fair. She has also worked with brands such as Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, MAD//Fest, Meantime, Mazda, Häagen-Dazs in association with Matthew Williamson, and Caravan, and was in-store resident DJ for H&M for three years, playing for the exclusive designer launches of Kenzo and Balmain.

Lulu’s musical repertoire is fun, varied and eclectic, boasting disco, nu-disco, afro-house, classic house, 80s electro, soul, funk, reggae, old school hip hop and R&B.  Listen here.
