Lori the Hifi Princess : aka Lori J. Ward
International DJ Hi-Fi Princess, aka Lori Ward, has been establishing herself in the underground party scene since 1993.
Beginning in Victoria, Canada, Hi-Fi's love for music evolved quickly into a desire to start spinning. From '95 to '98 she developed a quirky electronic house/tech sound that took her out of the local scene and expanded her territory throughout the West Coast of America and across Canada.
In 1998 she headed off to London where she continued to develop her sound. During that time she held 2 residencies in London, as well as making appearances at club 333 old street and at various techno outlaw parties. After having been on the scene for six months she accepted an offer for a weekly residency in Luxembourg's Evolution through Luxury U.K. promotions. There she had the opportunity to work alongside some of the biggest djs on the scene like Timo Maas, Gayle San, and Ritchie Hawtin.
Having taken part in the ever-changing music scene throughout all of Europe , Hifi Princess's sound has evolved into a sophisticated mix of techno and psychedelic music and also her other favorite, a warm tech-house sound. She has spun with a lot of great djs during her time touring in Europe like Chris Liberator, Jeff Mills, Chris Liebing, Surgeon, Oscar Mulero ,W.J Henze and Toni Rios to name a few of her favorites.
She has also played at the at some of the best clubs and festivals in the world as well. Places like The tunnel-NYC, liquid club-Madrid, Koneisto festival-Finland, The Best-Zagreb, Ambasada Gavioli-Slovenia, Mazzo-Amsterdam ,Sona-Montreal ,Turbo-Toronto, 1015 Folsom-San Fransisco, Klub Kuaille-Tokyo, Japan Cittadella, Czech Republic, and her residency suncity in Graz, Austria.
Lori had her first release on Shimmy Recordings out of Bristol, U.K. Her track, "Refused Entry", was released June 12, 2000 on the "Collective Thoughts EP". This E.P had great reviews by some of the top DJ's in the business.
After spending 4 years living in New York City , in 2002 Lori decided to make the move back to Europe and is now based in Graz, Austria. Her main focus the last 2 years has been in studio on her newest productions. Foreign Communication under the alias lori j. ward was just finished. It is a 13 Track downtempo cd that was released feb 21st and is available at www.ebl.cc
Lori was also just signed to highball music (www.highball-music.de) Her track entitled Disastermind is now available on Join us records, and was signed to the Love Parade Berlin 2004 Compilation. Her next release will be a remix for Hydraulix Records.
