It’s always better when it takes six years. While timing is everything, patience is the companion of wisdom. DJ Dana Lu is as charismatic as she is meticulous. Since the inception of the EP back in 2014. DJ Dana Lu has created over one hundred records, yet only these four tracks made the final cut. Envisioning the selection process to filter down from 100 to 4 is a task that exemplifies the passion Dana Lu possesses. She describes the EP “Girls Having Fun” as concentrated femxle energy. Yet it was only these four tracks that gave her the same euphoric feeling she experiences when behind the decks. Energizing the crown through her tastes in music.
“This is for the groove; this is for the soul,“ – Suaso on “Suaso Speaks”
DJ Dana Lu wastes no time, immediately as the EP kicks off you can sense the energy deep within your solar plexus. It’s as if she brings good energy out of those who take the time to listen. Enlisting New Jersey-based emcee Suaso to narrate the intro track. Setting the tone for what you’ll experience for the next 9 and a half mins. What you get moving forward is a sonic barrage of infectious sounds and anthemic rhythms comprising elements such as sparkling hats and bells. Powered by stentorian kicks, synth-progressive sounds, and reverb-landed vocals. ‘Girls Having Fun’ is the embodiment of DJ Dana Lu’s belief “life is too short to do anything but have fun at all times”.
What Dana Lu offers, you likely won’t find anywhere else. As she pours a magnitude of herself within every track. Although short in run-time. It’s apparent that her debut offering ‘Girls Having Fun’ is a soundtrack for the summer.
