A self-taught producer, Luna shapes powerful melodies and delicate vocals with production that takes inspiration from EDM behemoths Kaskade, Da Hool and Gigi D’Agostino: “Growing up, I used to buy these compilation CDs called BRAVO, so I would end up listening to these huge dance and trance hits when I was really young".
Merging club-ready euphoria and glossy Y2K aesthetics; Luna offers an altogether fascinating hybrid of pristine, modern electro-pop, glitchy, experimental hyperpop with nods to Eurodance, trance, house and EDM. Dance Dance (Don't Go) also doubles down on the nostalgia with an accompanying CD release, which is also available now.
The EP features early single “IDONTOU” (pronounced ‘I Don’t Owe You’) which sees Luna recount a dark period in the Dutch music industry; highlighting cases of sexual assault but with a focus placed on reclaiming her own body, and the bodies of her contemporaries.
Closing track "Day I Die" is a bittersweet lullaby about cherishing the time you have on the planet and a reminder that dance music can be just as melancholic as it is euphoric. It discusses Luna's relationship with her late mother, "it’s about this longing to go back in time and revisit some precious moments I had with her, that seemed so mundane at the time, but that I would give everything to relive again looking back at it now," she says.
Pairing fictional and autobiographical elements, the EP stands as a fragmented series of diary entries covering topics of coming of age, identity and love in a world dominated by social media. Across the project, raw, emotive lyrics tell Luna’s personal stories, while a backdrop of dancefloor-inducing beats transport you to a Berlin night out; all making Luna Morgenstern one of the most exciting and innovative artists leading the European charge.
Luna Morgenstern's new single "Summerlove" and the Dance Dance (Don't Go) EP is out now via Nine And A Half. |
