lacey iq

Lacey IQ is a Texas-born, LA-settled electronic music obsessor and creator, remixer, DJ, and educator, mixing tunes strictly for the love of dancers since the late 90's, and creating her own diversely-flavored catalogue of multi-genre music since the early 2000's. Influenced by the sounds of Chicago, New York, Detroit, Berlin, and London, her DJ sets often travel a road of many sounds--traveling between disco, tribal, acid, and afro house to deep, dark techno rhythms peppered with improvised samples, loops, and acapellas, it’s unlikely to hear the same set twice. Recently, a handful of house and techno releases on LTHM, Krafted Underground, Good For You Records, and True House LA, as well independently-released remixes for award-winning Southern California hip hop artist Artson and singer-songwriter Sariyah Idan have put IQ on the map across a diverse array of music communities as a skilled producer, remixer, and mix engineer.

The entirety of the Lacey IQ catalogue illustrates her personal creative creed in every sense of the word: nobody feels one way all the time. Equally diverse is her stylistic taste in music production, which, outside of house, techno, and experimental funk, reaches into the realms of ambient, trip hop, synth pop, and chillwave, via her self-professed “softer side” and alter ego Inquiri. Inquiri currently has two full-length albums--2010’s epic ambient trip hop excursion Walk For Miles, followed by the release in 2014 of Semi-Human, a bizarre, emotional, and beautiful experimental collaboration with longtime friend, Japanese recording artist and classically-trained pianist and vocalist, Mayumi Kaneyuki--along with a number of remixes, singles, and mixtapes released since 2010 under the alias, with more to come on her recently-hatched imprint Concurrent Recordings.
