DJ; producer; record label owner; radio show host: Lupe Fuentes is a multi-talented electronic artist of the very highest order. With productions dropping on highly-respected global imprints such as Simma Black, Mad Tech, Lost Recordings, Todd Terry’s Inhouse, Nervous and her own In The Loop, she can now count the likes of Dubfire, Nicole Moudaber, Maceo Plex, Booka Shade, Leftfield, Richie Hawtin, Carl Craig, Kerri Chandler, Marco Carola amongst her many advocates.

 

Drawing from her cultural roots in Columbia, Lupe has created a musical identity for herself that’s both timeless and refreshing. Her blend of stripped back tech-house with subtle hints of Latin rhythms and tribal percussion transform into dance floor anthems, casting the eyes and ears of industry leaders upon her, with her rise from obscurity to prominence nothing short of remarkable. Over the course of little more than two years, Lupe has released more than 30 records, more than a dozen of which have hit the top ten genre charts in Traxsource and top 100 in Beatport.

 

In 2014, Lupe launched her very own imprint, In the Loop, a platform for the crisp hi-hats and dark, groovy baselines, which have become the crux of her sound. In addition to her own releases, In the Loop showcases burgeoning talent, with Santero, Tom Foolery, A Lister, Zombie Disco Squad, Jack Cousteau, Francis Kasibante and Paolo Solo just some of the names making up the ever-growing roster. Most recently a remix of Lupe’s ‘1000 Watts’ was landed from industry legend Kerri Chandler, who has been a firm supporter of Lupe and her music from the very start.
