Habibti Nation Takeover - LINGZ 29/07/26 Voices Radio

LINGZ is a Lebanese multi-genre DJ with a special love for bass music, spanning dubstep, bassline, footwork, jungle, old skool DNB and beyond. Formerly Sheffield-based, she co-founded the all women/non-binary collective Kiss My Bass, a movement dedicated to uniting the dancefloor and championing hardworking underground talent. As she couldn’t make it into the studio, we will be listening to a recording of her Ground Rules Festival set on the Firmly Rooted Sound System. Hear her reflections on this: “This is the most special set I’ve played yet. A selection of generational classics, edits and remixes of sounds that raised me, woven together with the bass music that’s shaped me as a DJ. Wallah there’s something indescribable about blending it all into a story I get to share with others. In a world that so often flattens our past, present and future into headlines, numbers and grief, choosing instead to celebrate the richness, tenderness and expansiveness of our culture feels quietly radical. Our music has always remembered us, even when the world hasn’t.”
