Lisa Lashes’s first gig was at a boat party on the River Severn in 1996, where she was discovered by Madders (Polysexual, formerly of Sundissential) and quickly given her first residency. From there, Lisa added further residencies and regular club nights at the most prestigious clubs in the UK, including Base, Escape, Euphoria, Eat Your Words, Frantic, Fully Charged, Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Golden, Goodgreef, Hotdog, Koolwaters, Naughty But Nice, Progress, Radioactive, ROAR, Scream, Slinky, Storm, Temple Theatre, The Met, Tidy, and Transaction. Since 2000, Lisa has also headlined all of the top festivals — Godskitchen Global Gathering, Homelands, Tidyweekender, Tidy Magna, Creamfields UK and Ireland, Homelands, Knebworth, Escape Into the Park, and Gatecrasher Summer Sound Systems—while at the same time playing numerous special events, including 2FM in Ireland, Godskitchen and Sundissential University Tours, Radio 1 - One Live in Nottingham, Radio 1 - One Live in Brighton.

Lisa has as also displayed her ferocious skills in locales around the globe. She claimed another ‘first’ on the Slinky in Heineken Tour in China as the only female DJ to have played to a crowd of over 5,000 in that country. In South Africa, Lisa performed at sold-out shows of 12,000 in Cape Town and 20,000 in Johannesburg as part of the Camel Cigarettes Tour. Lisa has also toured the United States, Canada, and Australia, while making appearances in Brazil with Guess Clothing, Tenerife, and Corfu.

One of Lisa’s most important accomplishments in 2003 was the successful launch of Lashed in Ibiza www.lashedibiza.com For several years, Lisa has held residencies in Ibiza, the summer’s hottest club location, playing Godskitchen, Judgement Sunday’s, Slinky, and Tonic, to name a few. Lisa, however, wanted to create something completely unique, “to put the fun back into the party.” For 15 weeks in summer 2003, Lisa did just that, bringing her furious brand of music to legions of grateful clubbers. For Lisa, “It has to be the most amazing project I have ever been involved with.”

The next stage involves bringing Lashed to an even greater global audience. To further this goal, Lisa has teamed with Nettwerk Management, whose international experience will help to cement Lisa Lashes as a top world DJ and Lashed as a premiere dance event. Beginning in 2004, Lashed will travel to China, Korea, Canada, New York City, Miami, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. To all UK fans, however, Lisa says, “I’m not leaving anyone, because hard house and the stuff I play in the UK is still massive here, so there’s no reason for me to go away. I just want to go abroad to show them our style.” In fact, Lisa has already brought Lashed back home to the UK. In December of 2003, Lashed in Coalville was a sold-out event, and upcoming London and Liverpool shows in early 2004 promise to reach the same height of success – www.lasheduk.com

It is impossible, however, for Lisa’s talents to be constrained to DJing alone. She has produced Tidy’s two biggest-ever selling hard house tracks, “Unbelievable” and “What Can You Do 4 Me”, along with “Lookin’ Good” and “Dance 2 The House (Don’t Go)” for Tidy, “We Came We Saw” for Sundissential, and “Give It All You’ve Got” for The Originator. In addition, Lisa’s mixed albums for Tidy, Slinky, Mixmag, and Euphoria, which include a gold disc for Hard House Euphoria and a silver disc for Extreme Euphoria Vol. 2, have been acclaimed by critics and embraced fans. Future releases include studio collaborations with BK, the biggest hard house producer in the world and many more!

Rest assured that whatever Lisa Lashes does, she does it hard and dirty, it’s her favourite way
