Bio
light gal is a rising force within London’s house and techno scene. Drawing inspiration from labels such as Terminal M, Drumcode and Innervisions, alongside artists including Charlotte de Witte, Mha Iri and Massano, she delivers distinctive DJ sets that range from dark, melodic techno to driving peak-time selections. Whether performing melodic or peak-time sets, light gal brings a focused and intentional approach to each. Having played across Ibiza and at key London venues including Ministry of Sound and Corsica Studios, as well as festivals such as Body Movements, she is quickly establishing herself as one to watch.

She was first drawn to dance music through early underground dubstep from the likes of artists such as Plastician and Rusko. When the genre began to die down it opened her eyes to different sounds and styles, particularly house and techno. “I’d describe my techno as dark, cold, industrial, yet melodic. The thing I love about the style of techno I play is everyone can move along with the music, even if they don’t know the songs - it’s that sort of vibe!”
Born in Surrey, one of her first introductions to dance music was during primary school, listening to compilations of Ibiza summer hits. She attended Reigate College, whose alumni include Disclosure and Fatboy Slim, and went on to study a Masters degree at the University of Bristol in Maths and Computer Science. It was here that her passion for the music was truly cemented, becoming a frequent visitor to legendary Bristol venues like Lakota, Motion, and Dojo Nightclub. After her studies, she moved back to Surrey, concentrating on her craft while working at the Academy of Contemporary Music.
light gal kick-started her DJ career by performing in Ibiza over the Summer of 2017. During her time on the island, she performed at Ibiza Rocks and Hush nightclub, and was so well-received that she was invited back the following year. Since then, she has been busy - performing across London and establishing her own event flowstate which hopes to disprove the opinions and biases of people who consider the house and techno scene to be exclusively white and male, and looks forward to organising its next instalment soon. Between gigs, light gal is currently curating DERILIKT Techno - a series of dark and melodic techno mixes.
