Luna Semara

The Frenchwoman with African roots grew up near Geneva. In 1998 she moved to Berlin, at a time when the city was still an insider tip, and enjoyed the many illegal parties and the unique club scene. In the dark concrete rooms of the Tresor she felt very secure. There techno was played, and this mixture of pumping bass, beats and synths, so excitingly different, gets straight to her heart. She discovered the infinite world of electronic music and shall soon fall to the techno-aesthetics. On the weekends, she can use a fully furnished studio and soon begins to produce and to mix her own DJ sets. In the global dance scene, she feels at home, because she has seen many hundreds of parties all over the world and developed a sense for mood and drama. She knows how the atmosphere can change and the dancers suddenly seem to float above the ground. This feeling of being able to take people on a journey and bring forth a perfect moment of shared euphoria, never lets her go again. Friends ask her to play at the Op Art club in Lisbon as a warm-up for Marc Romboy. Her first gig in front of audiences is stunning, when everybody’s dancing and cheering, it's like a punch in the stomach and the beginning of an addictive passion. She plays in various clubs such as Spartacus (Aix-en-Provence), Rachdingue (Girona), 360 degrees (Nuremberg), Rocker33 (Stuttgart), Ipse (Berlin) and the legendary Rex Club in Paris. Her first EP „The Pink Room“ appeared on Stephan Bodzin´s label Herblut Recordings in spring 2015 and received big support from the likes of Marc Romboy, Eelke Kleijn, Christian Smith, Nicolas Masseyeff, Dave Seaman, Thomas Schumacher and Gregor Tresher. Arp Choir appears on John Digweed´s "Live in South Beach" out this June. Her next release „Enuma EP" is due this summer on Herzblut Recordings.
