After Dinner Speakers: Lisa Pinup, Juan Pablo Montoya, Stella McCartney

Lisa Pin-Up exploded onto the dance scene just over four years ago. In a predominantly male orientated industry she has rapidly established herself as one of the finest UK’s finest DJ’s and Producers: DJing throughout the UK and Europe, writing and producing tracks with top Independent dance music labels such as Nukleuz Records and Tidy Trax; and setting up her own record label Rock Hard Recordings. She has appeared on the front of many of the dance scene’s major publications, released fourteen 12" vinyl records, mixed and released her first compilation album and is currently working on the second, ‘Raising Hell’, due for release in July on Virgin. Already a highlight on the underground dance scene, Lisa is now set to become one of the first truly breakthrough female DJ Producers with the release of her massive vinyl hit ‘Future Acid House’. With remixes and production from some of the most influential names in the business, ‘Future Acid House’ is being primed by Nukleuz Records, Virgin Records and Lisa herself to cross over into the UK National Sales chart with a big bang this Summer. Lisa’s rise to fame all started the day she discovered the dance scene. As with many before her, it took over her life, turning her into an instant party animal. But Lisa was also soon buying the records that reminded her of her wild nights. In the club scene getting a Promoter to listen to an unknown DJ tape is unheard of, so when Lisa got offered a residency at weekly London club nights, Bambina and Pushca, she knew it was time to leave her modeling career behind and throw herself into a new one as a DJ. A string of bookings led to her becoming a resident DJ at Freedom in London, a hugely successful club night which has spawned a nationwide tour and Lisa’s first involvement in an Album release, mixing ‘The Sound Of Freedom’ last year. This club and many other leading club nights at which she has DJed, including Sundissential, Passion, Progress, Slinky and Ministry of Sound, are a showcase for Lisa’s particular brand of hard, hellraising and innovative sounds. She joins a handful of talented DJ’s and producers who are leading the latest wave of full on, exciting club music commonly known as Hard House. Spawned in all night extravaganzas like Trade in London, the scene has spread across the whole county. There have already been two compilation albums from Nukleuz Records (Hard House Anthems) with Lisa’s own ‘Raising Hell’ release following shortly after. Working with many of this scene’s most important figures, The Tidy Boys, Jon The Dentist, BK (Nukleuz), Billy ‘Daniel’ Bunter, Lisa has already produced some of this year’s most full on but also accessible music. With her own label, Rock Hard Recordings, she intends to become a leading player in the music business while continuing to sign and produce the fresh innovative sounds that have already become her hallmark. It is easy to see that Lisa’s inbuilt determination has helped her immensely and with a reputation as being a bit of a hellraiser, you are always guaranteed a good night out when she is around.
