House Music All Night Long The Lupe Fuentes Story…so far AN UNDERDOG
HAS A LOT TO PROVE, MUCH TO DELIVER, AND ALL THE HYPE IN THE WORLD
WON’T CHANGE THAT Picture this. You’re a little girl in an
impoverished country who daydreams about what her life will be. She
worries she may only have these daydreams, because her dream is to
make music and to become a DJ. She doesn’t see anyone around her
like herself, and she wonders if she is the only one? She hopes not,
but she has no role model to look to. In Columbia, the only women she
sees are not dreaming of such things, they are trying to survive. But,
inside this little girl, there is a spark of passion that calls to her
and begs her to believe. It grows as she grows. It gets louder as she
finds her voice. And then, one day she realizes, she is Lupe Fuentes
and she is house music. Lupe may have come from humble beginnings but
her commitment to her calling and her craft lifted her up and out. As
with any great artist, their ability to follow their passion is
without measure or limit. Talent without commitment means nothing and
Lupe set her sights on a life that would transcend the confines of
race, geography and economics. Only one thing in the world can
instantly equalize and unite us all and that amazing gift is of
course, music. Lupe Fuentes has secured her shining star on the
electronic music landscape by earning her right to be there. Talent
and passion for house music is paramount to her success, she lives by
the beat and is always challenging her own ability to do better than
she did yesterday. House music icons champion her as being the real
deal with the gifted ear of a DJs DJ. “Lupe is very talented and has
exacting musical taste. She is one of the new breed of underground DJs
that live and breathe house music. I see she is totally committed and
can’t wait to hear what beats she has in store!” (Roger Sanchez)
Lupe busted through the boys club by doing things her way. As a
producer, she’s one of the most prolific and respected ones working
today. Upfront labels clamor for her releases with imprints like;
InHouse Records (Todd Terry), Brobot Records (Junior Sanchez),
Undercool Productions (Spain), Nervous (NY) Positive Music (Spain),
WIN Music, SAFE Music (Spain) Guesthouse Records and Defined all
releasing Lupe Fuentes original music. Her own imprint, ‘In The
Loop,’ is her go to brand for most of her own music, but Lupe also
champions new talent as a way to keep herself inspired and pay it
forward. “Lupe was born to make music and be a DJ. Stay tuned…
she’s fire!” (Junior Sanchez) It’s all about the vibe and what
music can do for people that makes house music (in particular), so
special. Lupe channels house music and all you need is to experience
one of her sets to know she’s something very special. You can’t
fake it as a house DJ, and she owns the place when she plays.
Dancefloors don’t lie. “Female DJ really if you only knew. Lupe
rocks out like a dude. She gets it -she is there to make you dance.
Not just another pretty face …. Welcome to Miss Fuentes, House Music
Baby.” (Todd Terry) Lupe Fuentes now makes her home in LA where
she’s a fixture on the US club circuit. Exchange, Pacha and all
clubs in between are showcasing Lupe as the next level of house music
superstar, but for Lupe, she is humbled by her success. “I don’t
do this for any other reason than I love house music, I love to DJ and
I’m compelled daily to produce. Everything else become like white
noise. My joy is being able to DJ and to expose the music I love to
people who want to dance. Be it one person or 50,000 on the
dancefloor, I’ll make sure they feel like I’m playing just for
them! “ - Lupe Fuentes Next Up Lupe will release ‘To Perfection’
on Kerri Chandler’s imprint Mad Tech this September and continues
her prolific production at her own In The Loop Recordings which sees
at least one new Lupe Fuentes original each month. Bookings and Info
