LNR (GB)

LNR (she/they) is a UK-born, Amsterdam-based DJ and writer. Inspired by a collective dialogue between

their journalistic research surrounding dance music history and obsession with collecting old school

vinyl, LNR translates pen to wax by creating journeys centred around fluid iterations of sound system

culture. Their sound channels refractions of music along the hardcore and psychedelic spectrums,

integrating technological rawness with dissociative coils. LNR sculpts journeys of twisted and unsettling

energy, excavating obscure records across tekno, jungle, drum n bass, trance, acid, dub and beyond.

Their expansive knowledge of this musical lineage connects the dots between past and present -

maintaining subcultural integrity whilst injecting a contemporary rhythmic form.

LNR plays in the shadows, frequenting at Amsterdam’s Garage Noord, and free party collective V23 in

Belgium. From the darkest crevices of free parties held on industrial sites, to the beating pulse of club

dance floors like Horst Club, Raum, Ormside Projects, and Strange Brew, LNR is firmly rooted in the

rave, and the club. They have performed alongside 90s legends such as Spiral Tribe’s 69db, Eat Static,

Patrick Russell, Felix K, μ-Ziq, and Scion, as well as contemporary mavericks Objekt, Woody92,

Konduku, and Wata Igarashi.

They are the author of Biodegradable Soundsystem, a series of essays, features, and interviews

navigating microclimates of old school dance music culture within the sphere of free parties, raves, club

culture, and experimental sonics.
