The Jump Club @ Academy presents LIL JON (DJ SET) Sunday 8 March 2015

After rising to prominence a decade ago as the face of the crunk movement, Lil Jon has been embraced by an entire new generation of fans as the EDM juggernaut rolls across the US. As a man who has consistently blurred the lines between rap and dance music, and one with a penchant for extreme partying, it shouldn't come as a surprise that he has been heralded as a legend amongst the relatively young EDM scene.

His 2013 collaboration with DJ Snake, 'Turn Down for What', grew to become an anthem in the global dance world and the phrase itself is now part of partying lexicon. It is now a 5 x Platinum single in the US and 2 x Platinum single in Australia.

Lil Jon's DJ sets have become a staple in the massive EDM club circuit in the US, where he regularly headlines the larger-than-life super-clubs at the heart of the scene. He is a resident at two of the most iconic venues in the burgeoning culture, Vegas' Surrender Nightclub and Miami's infamous LIV. As one might expect, his sets are renowned for being extremely loud and tremendously wild, spinning the world's biggest party jams littered with some trademark Lil Jon flare on the mic.
