LU, also known as Lucid Fox, is a Polish DJ and selector active on the independent scene since 2000. Her sets are grounded in IDM, leaning toward its heavier and more dance-driven side. Dense braindance rhythms form the foundation — broken beats, intricate programming, elastic basslines that settle deep and steady. The sound carries complexity, yet remains physical and direct.
She builds her mixes with patience. Rhythms interlock gradually, revealing sharp percussive detail and submerged low frequencies. Metallic textures brush against warmer tones; fragments of melody appear briefly, then dissolve back into the grid. There is a sense of control in the pacing, a careful shaping of momentum that allows the floor to move while the mind remains alert.
Alongside DJing, LU has produced and edited music for contemporary dance, composing in dialogue with movement and space. She co-hosts Idzie Lis on radiokultura.pl, where conversation meets an open, searching approach to sound. Her graphic design output — marked by humour, strangeness, and a trace of longing — echoes through her musical language: precise, curious, and quietly unsettled.
