Lacey IQ
Los Angeles
Lacey IQ is a Texas-born, LA-settled electronic music obsessor and creator, remixer, and DJ, 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 releases on Krafted Underground, Good For You Records, and True House LA, as well as 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 three full-length albums--2010’s sweet but epic ambient trip hop excursion Walk For Miles, followed by the release in 2014 of Semi-Human, a bizarre, emotional, and beautiful experiment with longtime friend, Japanese recording artist and classically-trained pianist and vocalist, Mayumi Kaneyuki. After a long hiatus, Inquiri was officially back in 2020 with a remix for LA-based synth pop goddess Dresage, followed in 2022 by the release of her first fully ambient album, Seven, released on beloved ambient imprint Stereoscenic Records. Shortly after Seven came her first vinyl pressing ever, on ambient and experimental powerhouse label Past Inside The Present, where she appeared alongside an astonishing lineup of other female ambient music artists on the benefit compilation, Healing Together. 2023 will see at least two more major releases from Inquiri.
