Lola



Biography of Lola

Real name / Lola Rephann

Upon moving to New York City in 1990, she immediately set out to find more. Attending events as diverse as Giant Step, Soul Kitchen, Ray Hands' Loft, Bang the Party, Konkrete Jungle, Body & Soul, Shelter, and Be Yourself and clubs from Sound Factory, the Tunnel, Mars, ClubUSA, Twilo, Life, and the Palladium to smaller venues like Tilt, Sound Factory Bar, 205 Club, Den of Theives, and Coney Island High, Lola's musical perspective came to embody a collision and cohesion between various strains of underground music.

In the 90s, Lola met Eric "EMan" Clark of Bang the Party fame. She proposed to him an idea for a party, and the two launched Deep See in May 2000. In 2007, third resident and partner DJ Spider (Plan B Recordings) joined as a resident and co-promoter of Deep See. Now in its ninth year, Deep See is one of New York City's longest-running weekly parties. Deep See focuses on techno, house, detroit beatdown, broken beat, dubstep, nu jazz, jazz, and classic dance music (usually late at night).

In addition to being a resident and founder of Deep See, Lola runs Plan B Recordings with DJ Spider. They released their debut co-production "Haarp EP" in April 2009 and followed it up with the Hazardous Wasteland EP in September 2009. Plan B has had ten releases to date. Lola is also part of the collective Stimulus > Response, which held a residency for nearly two years at Pacha NYC. The group recently celebrated its third anniversary in 2009 playing alongside Hector Romero.

Lola's style is an amalgamation of deep house, techno, ambient interludes, dub, thick basslines, and basically anything that sits left of center and below the radar. Lola has played throughout New York City at venues including Cielo, Pacha, Love, Santos Party House, Rebel, South Street Seaport, Sapphire Bar, the Sullivan Room, Sol, APT, Sin Sin, Le Souk, Frank's Lounge (Brooklyn), Halcyon (Brooklyn), Axiom Studios (Newark, NJ) and others, and in N. America in Montréal, Canada, Playa del Carmen, Mexico, New Haven, CT, Miami, FL, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, PA, Boston, MA, East Hampton, NY, and Washington, D.C. Lola has been featured in the press in Time Out New York, clubplanet.com, AM New York, and bouncefm.com.

Lola has had the honor of sharing with booth with dozens of great talents, including Mike Huckaby, Slam Mode, DJ Pierre, Alton Miller, Charles Webster, Hector Romero, Tedd Patterson, Rick Wilhite, Keith Worthy, Joel Mull, Malik Alston, Titonton Duvante, Oscar G, That Kid Chris, Cevin Fisher, Mr. V, MKL, Mariano & Nikodemus from Turntables on the Hudson, Jeannie Hopper, jojoflores, Lord G, Steve Travolta, Anthony Parasole, Black Jazz Consortium, Kervyn Mark, Sabine, and many more.
