James Murphy
One of this century’s key figures in music – and LCD Soundsystem’s iconic founder and lead – takes the party right through the night.
James Murphy is a musician, producer, and the founder of DFA Records. In 2002, James released ‘Losing My Edge’ as the third release on DFA under the moniker LCD Soundsystem, thus launching the Grammy Award-winning band that would go on to headline festivals around the world.
In addition to his work with LCD Soundsystem and DFA, Murphy is a prolific record producer and has worked with David Bowie, Arcade Fire and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. His DJ sets draw on decades of deep crate-digging.
Support comes from Los Angeles–based DJ Sophia Ziskin, also known as FIFI. She has quickly built a reputation for playful, high-impact sets that keep crowds locked in. Drawing on influences from reggaeton and Afrobeats to chunky house and pop, she moves fluidly across genres while maintaining a sharp instinct for the dance floor.
