Frost Raven\\\'s previous releases on Pharmacy have been heard everywhere from Simon Patterson\\\'s Open Up to Paul Oakenfold\\\'s Full on Flouro so we\\\'re expecting big things! Frost Raven has a background in post-production sound and a love for movies. His desire not to stay locked into one genre has helped created an interesting blend of clubby sounds and psychedelic underground.

These huge achievements don’t pop up overnight and with a career stretching over a decade Lisa’s still at the top of her game. Well known and hugely respected for her hard work and pioneering a good ear for music plus pushing the boundaries on her productions, we can see even more big things on the horizon for Lashes. Adapting to new sounds, Lisa’s evolved into the more rolling, phat, energetic, bass driving style of music thus opening up more interest with her ever growing fan base gaining respect from new and old clubbers worldwide. No stranger to festivals and events including the massive Global Gathering, Creamfields, Nocturnal Wonderland, Electric Daisy Carnival & Dance Valley to name a few, Lisa is also a regular at the infamous Ministry Of Sound in London. On the production front, Lisa\'s tracks have been supported by the biggest names in the business including Paul Van Dyk, Gareth Emery, Markus Schulz, Dash Berlin and Armin Van Buuren. Having attained a podcast that iTunes recommends in its top 5 monthly dance casts in the world, a music label, Lashed that regularly hits the Top Ten Beatport chart and her Lashed Events worldwide, Lisa is not one to be complacent and is always working to up her game, which is possibly the reason she has had longevity in this very male dominated music industry.
