Mix Of The Week: HoneyLuv's Blazing Tech House for Femme House
It's always a blessing to see a DJ really work it. Not just playing breakdown to breakdown, but really getting after it and crafting a narrative with the beat. Los Angeles-based HoneyLuv does just that in this mix for LP Giobbi's Femme House and Killed With Kindness.
Born in Cleveland, HoneyLuv got her start spinning R&B and hip hop. And it shows as she breezes through bass-forward house, thumping tribal, and high energy disco beats from Proper Villians, Mark Knight, Illyus & Barrientos, and of course her own club busting productions.
There's a clear distinction between dance music DJs and open format DJs who play house music. Those who move into house music, just do it better. There's swag in the style and an undeniable precision that carries over from learning on some of the hardest music to mix. HoneyLuv stands out because not only does she know her way around the decks, she's a dynamite producer as well with releases on Insomniac Records, Thrive, and Popgang.
