SPIRIT LINES with Lovie

Originally presented at 180 Studios in London, Lovie is proud to bring SPIRIT LINES to Silence Please. Part listening session, part lecture, Spirit Lines will trace the deep and powerful ways spirituality and religion have shaped Black American music across genres. From Eastern philosophy’s influence in Spiritual Jazz to the grounding force of Southern Christianity in Gospel, this carefully curated session explores how Black artists have navigated faith, devotion, and transcendence through sound. Expect a rich spectrum of sacred resonance—sprawling spirituals, meditative jazz, raw gospel outpourings—all woven into an immersive listening experience. Connecting the mind, to the body, to the soul, Lovie's sets inspire the warmest, most community-minded dance floors you'll find in New York. For five years Lovie's Lot radio residency—now being offered as one of the station's few weekly shows—has thumbed through the intimate corners of her music collection. Her diligence to the craft, musical curiosity, and deep focus on the listening experience earned her a spot on Mixmag's Top 25 Breakthrough DJs of 2024, as well as a coveted residency at Brooklyn club public records. She saunters through slow-groove disco, dusty '70s funk, and sumptuous house music, all spun with the patience and musicality associated with the East Coast house tradition. Lovie's studied archival work paired with deep emotional wisdom makes for honey-sweet dance floor memories you'll want to replay again and again.
