ALETHA
CITRIC / RINSE FM
Lydia (Aletha) hails from Manchester and began her DJ career as a regular contributor to radio. Her eclectic and intriguing acid led track selections and mixes have led to regular residencies for some of the best stations in the UK including Rinse FM and Worldwide FM. As well as feature mixes for electronic publications Mixmag, Ransome Note and DJ Mag.
As the radio audiences grew, so did her contact list as tastemakers and promoters began booking Aletha for clubs across the UK including Village Underground, The White Hotel and Lion and Lamb. Her genre-blending club ready sets, which thrust breaks and acid to the forefront with a versatile mixing style, were quickly picked up by some of the biggest brands including a residency for The Warehouse Project in her hometown of Manchester. 2023 became a breakthrough year for Aletha with club shows at Printworks, Fabric, Beams, Lost Village, Dimensions and invites from the likes of Honey Dijon and Denis Sulta as well as festival appearances at Glastonbury, Lost Village, Love International and Dimensions to name just a few.
If 2023 was about breaking through in the UK, 2024 was the year Aletha got to showcase her impressive skills across Europe. Now Aletha can add the best clubs in Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, France and beyond to her impressive touring CV. Back in the UK, standout slots continued at the likes of The Warehouse Project, Drumsheds and Boiler Room alongside sets at some of the best underground clubs across the country.
After also launching her own night ‘CITRIC’ to a sold-out crowd in 2023, 2024 saw her follow up with a second sold-out event to rave reviews and featuring a special b2b with Emerald. 2025 looks set to be another busy year for the exciting DJ that will see the return of CITRIC, a residency slot at the UK’s hottest new club Ambers, an Asia tour, her monthly Rinse FM show and a touring calendar that is already filling up.
