Silly Lily

SILLY Lily

Do you recognise Lily from the cover? Her talent reaches beyond her amazing ability to strike a pose. Lily is also an up and coming DJ that we recommend you have a bop to. Music has always been present in some way shape or form in Lily’s life, since childhood she’s known all the words to an abundance of songs. However, unless you count her three year stint as a bass clarinet player, she has been a listener, lover and appreciator of tunes, melody and sound.

Lily is a relatively new DJ to the scene, but definitely one to look out for. Her first solo gig being supporting Massi and Stum at Oxford Underground!

Lily explains that defining her style is difficult, because the songs are not hers to begin with. She draws inspiration from Roza Terenzi, Tornado Wallace, Mirasia, Toni Yotzi and Suade, but refuses to limit herself to any specific genre.

When watching and listening to Lily DJ she exudes a stylish comfort and classy composure, her stage presence

complements her distinctive sound and you leave the venue remembering her.

No one is immune to it all, Lily included. She was told by industry figures that the reason she was booking gigs was “due to her looks” or “being a token female artist”. This feedback has motivated her to remain true to herself, focusing her sets entirely on the music.

One of her favourite gigs found her in the middle of a forest. She spent her set in the sun, on a stage made of bamboo, pumping jungle funk and disco tunes!

The atmosphere she strives to create entirely depends on the existing ambience of the venue; she brings music that she anticipates will provide the right tempo. However, often finds herself jumping between different patterns. The opportunity to share unheard music and an experience with people is one of Lily’s favourite aspects of being a Selector. She has done the crate digging and playlist curation, and revels in the opportunity to bring back nostalgic hits, new releases and undiscovered music.
