S1 Ep3 - La La

The Going Out Podcast by Skiddle

For episode 3, we continue our going out conversations with Glaswegian DJ and curator La La, the alter-ego of Lauren Andrew. We started the conversation by talking about La La’s first going out experiences, she told us tales about her nights at The Arches, a club she became a regular at from the age of 14. From there, we chatted about her first events as a promoter and as a DJ - leading on to her exciting residencies.

In this conversation, La La gives an honest account about what it’s like to work as a female in the music industry. Speaking openly, La La shared experiences of when people in the music industry overlooked her talent, ignored her presence and refused to believe in her aspirations.

Now she’s got the same management as Honey Dijon, and despite facing challenges throughout her career (even someone pulling out the leads from her decks mid-set…), La La spoke to us about manifesting her dream boiler room set, warming up for huge household names at Circoloco and next year’s set at Dalt Vila in Ibiza.
