Often the powerhouse entertainers behind some of the UK and afar leading events and brands,(Body Movements Festival, Feel It, False Idols and Little Gay Brother to name a few) they are the fierce front line on every stage, nightclub and advert with a roster of talent dedicated to breaking boundaries. 

You may have spotted their talent in numerous music videos for The Blessed Madonna including the most recent release with Kylie Minogue, Peggy Gou’s performances at Coachella this year, a Dolce & Gabbana beauty campaign, or Shygirl’s live shows including BBC Radio One Big Weekend… and their artists are the faces of global club phenomenon Glitterbox, touring with them to the four corners of the globe.

For their newest venture, A Lawless Agency will be proudly presenting a brand-new DJ roster with Super Seven artists WILES, Mark-Ashley Dupé, Liam Parsons, Lady Lloyd, KaYa, Joel Mignott & Francko.

Specialists in matching the best talent to needs, the trio have decided to foster a new generation of DJs, known as the superstar seven, the service aims to bring something different to the entertainment industry and continue expanding their expertise in the nightlife industry.

“A big inspiration for creating the agency was working as a performer alongside so many other amazing queer artists and wanting to see my peers shine and succeed while also ensuring that they felt valued and looked after.

As a performer who doesn’t fit the conventional idea of what a dancer should be I wanted to create an agency that caters to the misfits and give them the opportunity to take the spotlight. I think this is something that makes Lawless unique.” - Lucy Fizz

Bringing you 90’s House sonics with a sprinkle of Tech House - everything WILES does from DJing, Presenting and Producing, is brimming with energy. After launching his career and honing his craft up north, WILES has since relocated to London, where he hosts drive time on Select Radio every Tuesday.

Liam Parsons is one of London's best-loved fresh faces. From fashion parties to sweaty clubs, this DJ is making waves and making you move. He’s already heading festivals and club nights like, Howl, Feel It, Studland, and Body Movements Festival. Liam gives you exactly what you want and what you need; from poolside party starters and disco edits to sweaty dance floor fillers and Hard House. 

South London’s finest aptly dubbed as the ‘Prince of Peckham’, Mark-Ashley Dupe is not short of a legion of loyal and devoted followers. He is widely adored and respected and renowned for his perfected sound, a mash-up of House, R&B edits, Ballroom, Afrobeats, Dancehall & Brazilian Funk; this genre-mixing genius always brings the party. Not one to be pigeonholed, he is one of London's most versatile DJs and promoters.

Lady Llyod is one of the finest purveyors of Disco, Pop and Country music. As a cornerstone of the Queer community, he’s been ruling the streets of Soho and beyond for 20 years, and breaking the gender binary long before it was commonplace. Known for their countless contributions to clubland, recognised with a Gay Times Honours Best London DJ award, he's also the brains behind Soho's infamous midweek night, Bombshell.

Starting her DJ career in London's queer underground scene, KaYa pays homage to the roots of house music. Infusing her sets with a soulful authenticity she draws inspiration from the legendary DJs of Paradise Garage and the voguing culture of New York's ballroom scene, whilst throwing in a dash of UK Garage and rave culture. Informed by her musical upbringing and career as a dancer, KaYa has a natural instinct for the needs of the dance floor.

Joel Mignott is a multi-disciplinary artist. As a DJ, Chef, and TV personality, he knows how to captivate audiences and inject joy into any space. This DJ not only serves the hottest beats all over London, but also runs his own successful supper club (DJ Supperclub). Be it Kitchen or Club - Joel knows how to tailor a cultural experience. Blending R&B edits, Pop and Deep and Soulful House, you can’t help but overindulge.

Frankco brings deep house and beats, delivered with a strong Bermudian attitude. Using his vast knowledge of house music, inspired by his time in Chicago and NYC, Frankco is an old-school master who has been tearing up the London scene for over 20 years. He’s also a talented MC, collaborating with and voicing tracks for the likes of Eats Everything and Maze & Masters. 

“Lawless’s “SUPERSTAR SEVEN” were handpicked because we believe in their ability and their bright future in music. We’ve decided to work with only seven artists, so we can give them our full attention. All of them work incredibly hard, they are already making waves, and now it’s time for the rest of the industry to take note. 

Each one is an incredible music selector. Each one offers something different. But what makes them unique, these seven artists are not just DJs; they are a mix of producers, promoters, queer icons, and tastemakers who we’ve seen firsthand fill dancefloors and get crowds cheering. We’re honoured they trust us with their next chapter.” - Clayton Wright 

This new chapter marks a new dawn for the entertainment sector that puts representation and visibility at the forefront. Bring queer musical individuals into spaces beyond underground clubs and highlight identities through these bookings. Starting with the Super Seven, A Lawless Agency plans to branch out further, fostering new emerging artists and creating a new entry point not only for talent but for those who seek true diversity for their entertainment needs.

“We’ve helped secure gigs for DJs since we started, and for the last couple of years, many DJs have approached us looking for full-time representation. Lawless is unique, we also create our own events and opportunities that DJs can benefit from. Productions like False Idols, Body Movements and Feel It, are all things that we have a close relationship with. Now feels like the right time. 

We’ve made superstars out of our dancers and we’re ready to do the same with our DJs. All of our DJ talent are people we’ve worked with for years. We know their sound, their needs, their likes and dislikes. We know what steps are needed to make them the next BIG thing, and we’ll work tirelessly to help them reach their full potential.” - Jasmine Blatt
