Los Angeles-born Juliet Mendoza comes from the city’s house music and dance culture. Music was always part of her family life, with her mother coming from a background in singing and disco dance, and her father a bass player and music lover. Dance became her first connection to the culture, and the dance floor a place where music, movement and community came together.
Her path through the scene has included dance, clubs, events and promotion, becoming part of the wider network of dancers, DJs, promoters and crews that shaped LA’s house community. DJing grew naturally from that world, bringing the perspective of a dancer into the booth.
Juliet has spoken about music and dance as a form of release, and about the queer dance floors where she found freedom and family. That connection remains central to the way she approaches music: the people in the room, the dancers and the relationship between the DJ and the floor.
Her career has taken her from the Los Angeles underground to dance floors across the US, Europe and Latin America.
In Spring 2026, Juliet launched Spiritual Systems Records. The idea had been developing for several years before the time felt right to make it real. The label brings together music and artists connected to her experience of house music and the culture around it.
Alongside the label is The One Hundred, an intimate party limited to 100 people. The concept comes from a reaction to the direction dance music has taken towards bigger stages, larger rooms and bigger numbers. The One Hundred deliberately keeps things small. One hundred people. One room. Music first.
Spiritual Systems Records and The One Hundred are two sides of the same idea: putting good music in the right room and giving people a reason to stay on the dance floor.
Sounds Familiar is now representing Juliet Mendoza for EU / UK.
