THMP3R (AKA JANNA LEWIS) has been an avid House Head since the 90s and an attorney since 2007. Today she manages a female DJ collective Chicks in the Mix, and has DJ residencies at Holly’s House on Substation.one, The Circle Bar and Catch One.
To support herself during graduate school, Janna combined her love of HOUSE with her business skills, founding an all-female DJ service called “Vinylycious” in 2001. Janna played private parties with other female DJs like HOLLY ADAMS, GINGER JOHNSON and ERIN LEVANG. By 2003, Vinylycious had evolved into a female DJ duo in which Janna and Ginger performed 2×4 sets at clubs throughout Los Angeles, including The Palace (now Avalon), the Gate (where they had a weekly residency called Reverb) and Insomnia (then LA’s longest running after hours club). Vinylycious also made appearances in Durham, NC, Las Vegas, NV, at 1015 Folsom in San Francisco, and WMC in Miami.
After law school, Janna hung up her headphones to join corporate America – but in 2018, she thought it might be possible to be a great lawyer and a great DJ. She decided to find out, left the corporate world, and returned to the LA house scene as THMP3R.
Today THMP3R can be heard on SUBSTATION.ONE as a Resident DJ of HOLLY’S HOUSE — a proper weekly House party heard every Saturday night at 6/Pacific LIVE WORLDWIDE on SUBSTATION – UNITED WE DANCE® —where local, national and international producers, DJs, friends, family and pets regularly perform from Holly’s actual house in Santa Monica.
Pre-CODIV-19, THMP3R could also be found at The Circle Bar in Santa Monica from 9pm to 2am, where she maintained a Tuesday night residency called TAKE2 with JUS DYRTI and special guests; and every weekend morning at Catch One, where she performed with Chicks in the Mix, LA’s premier all- female DJ collective.
