In Episode 2 of Queer Spotlight, we sit down with Alejandro Asencio, the DJ, producer and founder of Lady Olé, one of London's best known Spanish queer parties.

Featuring Alejandro Asencio and Dramala Tina.

From underground parties in Shoreditch to creating spaces where queer immigrants, creatives and nightlife lovers can connect, Alejandro reflects on two decades of building community through music, celebration and culture.

The conversation explores London's LGBTQ+ nightlife, the origins of Lady Olé, the importance of joy in queer spaces and the role nightlife continues to play in bringing people together. Alejandro also shares personal stories about migration, identity, belonging and the people who helped shape his journey.
