If you’ve ever found yourself lost in a thundering bassline or hypnotized by shimmering synth atmospheres, chances are you’d feel right at home in the sonic world of DJ Beluga92. Hailing from the southwest of France, this project—helmed by Adrien and Elie, co-founders of the LPC collective—blends the raw textures of vintage synthesizers and drum machines into pulsating dancefloor experiences.
I first discovered DJ Beluga92 through their releases on LPC and Makesense Records, where each track felt like a direct shot of adrenaline into the night. Their latest EP “Reflected Lines” showcases exactly what makes their sound so compelling: cavernous club music, dense with textured atmospheres, yet always laser-focused on moving bodies.
When asked about the roots of their project, Adrien and Elie point to a hands-on, analog philosophy: “We love capturing the energy of vintage machines in live takes. It brings an unpredictability and warmth that keeps things alive. DJ Beluga92 is our playground to explore club music in all its forms—sometimes leaning towards psychedelic vibes, other times diving deep into full-blown rave energy.”
Strongly influenced by the traditions of rave, sound design experimentation, and classic four-to-the-floor grooves, DJ Beluga92’s work stands out for its deeply organic character. Their music doesn’t just move through mechanical patterns—it breathes, crackles, and evolves with the imperfections and raw textures of live-recorded machines. Whether you’re hearing a chunky, bass-heavy stomper or a glitched-out excursion into sound design, there’s always a tangible, almost living energy coursing through the tracks—a mystical thread that connects mind, body, and dancefloor.
This mix for Early Reflections offers a new glimpse into their universe. Recorded in their home studio—a space filled with the whirring life of analog machines—it distills the essence of their live energy into a 90-minute journey. Expect tightly crafted rhythms, saturated melodies, and an irresistible sense of forward motion, pulling you toward a dancefloor epiphany.
