Outer Heaven presents: Lukas Wigflex

They don't make DJs like Lukas Wigflex anymore. The Nottingham DJ and promoter has a love for UK club culture that borders on the unfathomable—and he does it all with gusto that is unmistakably, 100 percent Lukas. Over 19 years, his namesake party series, Wigflex, has grown from a free-bar night in Nottingham with two-for-one pizzas to entice punters into a leading light in the Midlands's nightlife landscape. Wigflex regularly brings contemporary dance music giants like Skee Mask, Aurora Halal and Wata Igarashi to UK shores, all while championing homegrown talent. Recalling its journey from a modest bar night to powerhouse party, he told Stamp The Wax: "I created a mixtape and called it Wigflex 2000. It all just evolved naturally from that." "Evolved naturally" is, perhaps, too modest. In an increasingly hostile operating environment for independent clubs and promoters across the UK, it's hard to overstate the achievement of Wigflex's longevity, a testament to his tenacity and distinctive spirit. Let's be honest, who else could get away with taglining their event: "Survival of the Wrongest." But while he might be the UK's resident wrongun, don't let the tongue-in-cheek persona fool you—he's deadly serious about tunes.
