About Me

La Resistance is expanding - with their debut LP now recorded they are reaching out with new dates as a Live BAND and DJ with MC***

The birth of ‘La Resistance’ Collective -
First there was “Dj Lisa”; who earned her stripes in the heady rave and free party days within the DJ Duo; “Easygroove and Lisa”. The two racked up the Dj’O’meter to full and played up to 40,000 strong crowds incl: Perception, Raindance, Danceplanet, DIY, Spiral Tribe, Glastonbury etc… Individually, she’s toured worldwide, appeared live on KissFM, MTV and other media hosted numerous radio shows and live appearances.
Step forward “Mikey G”; training at Joey Negro's studio he’s worked with many top names incl; Alister Whitehead, Mark Knight, Toolroom Records, Defected, Positiva & Nic Fanciulli..
Mikey’s released across numerous labels including: Mob, Distinctive, Funky Cactus(USA), Urban Torque, Beautycase (Berlin) ISHO… & on DJ Mag covermount CD’s and Kiss Comps. His productions have also featured in (US no1) Major Hollywood Film & seen his official “Afrika Bambaataa” remix in use on EA’s urban football game “FIFA Street 3” alongside M.I.A, Coburn, Sasha, Rennie Pilgrim & Underworld.
Sharing a passion for all things beats based they make up the core revolutionaries that are “La Resistance!”
SUPPORT FROM - LAURENT GARNIER, CARL COX, PLUMP DJS, STANTON WARRIORS, KISS 100, RADIO 1 , XFM, 6 MUSIC - THEY LOVE IT!
In a live environment they are great at building and maintaining crowds and dance floors, assessing the reactions and working to ensure that everyone has a great time! With a strong sense of the crowd, the two do not like to compromise their art. They have high standards and integregity, add to that a keen sense of fun and fun sense of humor. Together as La Resistance they bring in that edgy live electronica element into their sets putting on one hell of a show!
