LEV at Suncebeat
@suncebeat 2024 🇵🇹
Feeling really blessed to have been invited to play at Suncebeat again, this year in Portugal. It’s definitely a special festival for me, and it’s not just the set I feel grateful to have done, it’s everything that comes alongside it.
It’s rubbing shoulders with some of best and biggest DJs I respect, it’s dancing in the crowd and experiencing those moments of pure joy, and it’s spending quality time with people I don’t get to see enough. It’s hearing certain records for the first time, and each time thinking, I need to get home and dig! It’s getting to open the Magic Yard and experiencing @kerrichandler soundchecking a room.
Huge thanks goes out to Alex & Nick for having me, to the whole @suncebeat crew, my @raisingpeoplemanagement rpm crew @sysez & @minichantelle. And to everyone who came to see me play early doors - thank you 🙏

I haven’t even had the time to post about Faro & LEV presents!
Just a small snippet from the night of Last Nubian playing - I think it sums up the vibe of the night pretty well.
Please head over to my Instagram (@levdj_) for a full reel of the night!
Save the date 12th September for round 2.
Edinburgh - LEV djing at The Get Down
Thank you Edinburgh 🏴
Such a wicked crowd of people dancing and just enjoying themselves - this was a really great party to play so a huge thank you to @luvinleithevents for letting me do my thing and it was definitely one of my favourite sets I’ve played this year 🙏
LEV at Groove Odyssey
First time playing for @grooveodyssey Ibiza last weekend. I had a really lovely time playing to a friendly, family-like, receptive crowd. Plus having the chance to spend a few days with incredible producers such as @atjazzofficial @seanmccabemusic @djstacykidd and @grooveassassin who all feature in my DJ sets regularly was a joy. Shouts to @billygcocks for set of the weekend too. Thank you to @bobbyandsteveuk and the rest of the crew for making me feel so welcome!
I’ll be back in Ibiza on the 30th of June playing for @glitterboxibiza 🌅
At @fever105 on Saturday I did an unexpected B2B with one of my favourite DJs Young Pulse 🙏
Before last year, I hadn’t played back to back with anyone, and I always said it wasn’t really for me. Over the past 6 months, I’ve played with a few different people, and turns out they can be quite fun if it’s with the right person and your sounds complement each other.
I I have a big appreciation for Young Pulse’s music taste so it was really really fun. I wish we had longer to play - we could have taken it much deeper! Also, the man really does have his own edits of all the tracks I love 😅
Thanks to the @fever105 guys for having me, and thanks to @tomayres_dj @dancemusiclove @djchristinad for the footage. Lovely to see @john_morales_mix play again too ❤️
LEV and Faro at Southport
Way behind in posting!
@southportweekender was another level this year. I had the pleasure of playing a warm up set with @iamfaro_ repping @deepintosoulofficial, and a solo set the next day - the best of both worlds really. Highlights have to be @djrontrent who played one of the best sets I think I’ve ever seen, @2foxlondon incredible live performance and my girl @iamfaro_ tearing up the place too.
feeling very grateful to be rubbing shoulders with legends of the scene and very musically enriched ❤️

Liverpool debut complete with TheShelter Lpool 💚
Possibly the most comfortable I've felt behind the decks in ages. Props to J for creating a lovely atmosphere full of friendly people. He sold this party out 4 months in advance with people coming from all over the UK and Europe, the place was nearly full by 9:30 and stayed pretty much packed till I finished at 4am. Thanks to all that stayed to watch me play 🙏
Paris Paris Paris 🇨🇵🙏
What a heartwarming welcome to the city! Thank you so much to @extazik742 for having me and what an amazing party you've created @house_o_drome. It really was a pleasure to play for such a lovely crowd, full of dancers and smiling faces. Shout out to the lady in the rollerskates, and @funkyroomfamily and @fredaire for the sick sets ⛸️
It was also an absolute pleasure to play before the legendary @john_morales_mix - 50 years doing this is something i can only dream of, and there was so much love in the room for him. It's always a joy to spend time with @youngpulse - one of the nicest guys in this industry you'll meet ❤️
Until next time!
LEV & Faro All Night Long went down a treat 🙏
SUNcéBeat ❤
A special festival, and a place where I've met so many lovely people, and heard a lot of amazing music. My shazam was OUT!
Thank you to everyone who came to dance with me on the Beach Stage. I played a set full of big vocals, jazzy chords and whole lotta soul- a lot of stuff I've actually never played out before! Wishing I recorded the set now 😅
Mega grateful to have been brought out to play. Here's to the next one wherever it may be 🌍
Last night in Brighton - such a fun set. Got to play a lot of stuff I don't normally get to play out!
Full set coming soon to listen back to 🎧
Favourite set in a while if you can tell! 😅
What an absolute pleasure to make my debut for Glitterbox at Printworks London - one for the books!
Despite it probably being the biggest thing I've ever done, somehow it was the most relaxed ive felt during a set for ages. I got to open the Inkwells and build the energy up so above are a few tasters of what went down - handed over to Aroop Roy who absolutely tore the room up. Amazing for me to be DJing alongside so many names I respect ❤️
Special special day - thank you if you came to see me

Fabric X Disco Disco X LEV ❤️
Onto Glitterbox at Printworks London this Sunday 😁
One to show the love in the room at Southport. Thank you to everyone who came to support me early doors - such a special experience to open the Powerhouse stage alongside Wez Whynt Sy Sez Neil Pierce and the legends Little Louie Vega and Dj David Morales ❤️
Love to Deep Into Soul ❤️
Astrotrax - The Energy is probably one big reason I'm into the music I'm into. Written and produced by my Dad, his astrotrax partner Sonjay plus written and sung by Shola.
It was first released before I was born so Mum used to take me to the PAs when she was heavily pregnant with me so I like to think this is why I'm a huge house head
It got signed to @defectedrecords
in 2000 - I remember my dad telling me noone would sign it or play it until he stalked down Steve Jackson of Kiss 100 and gave him the record (kind of went full circle with me then working at Mi-Soul!)
Last Sunday at Queens was the first time I've ever played it while my dad was in the room, and even Shola came along and jumped on the mic - a lovely moment ❤️
My one and only claim to fame (just about) but fair play to the old man - he made a choooooon!
