The ascendant Dutch duo LUSU are skyrocketing through the techno universe with the release of their first-ever solo Drumcode EP, the blistering and highly anticipated ‘Move 2 the Groove’. This powerful two-track project marks a major milestone for the fast-rising pair — and firmly cements their reputation as one of the most exciting new acts in modern techno.
Fans first felt the impact of LUSU last autumn when the duo teamed up with HI-LO on the high-energy club weapon ‘DIZZY’. Since then, they have continued to ignite the global scene with releases on HILOMATIK and Eli Brown’s Arcane, including the standout hit ‘Escape from Planet Monday’ featuring vocalist Sarah De Warren, who also made her Drumcode debut recently.
Now, with ‘Move 2 the Groove’, LUSU deliver a release that not only elevates their sound but showcases their artistic identity with exceptional clarity and confidence.
The title track, ‘Move 2 the Groove’, is a dancefloor juggernaut. Echoing the energy of their HI-LO collaboration, it hits with:
Hypnotic, infectious rap vocals
Precision drum programming
High-octane rave energy
A percussive, mosh-pit-ready groove
Every twist in the track delivers impact, making it a standout weapon for peak hours and festival moments.
On the flip side, ‘Afterlife’ reveals a different shade of LUSU’s artistic palette. This track is lush, emotional, and deeply atmospheric, driven by:
Old-school chord progressions
A glowing, nostalgic aura
Euphoric end-of-night energy
It’s a sublime balance to the EP’s fierce title track — and a testament to the duo’s musical range.
‘Afterlife’ began as a rework of Sil & Olav Basoski’s 1991 classic ‘Windows’. What started as a tribute quickly evolved into something brand new, as Adam Beyer himself threw support behind the project.
With Drumcode’s founder championing their music, the duo shaped the idea into a full EP. As LUSU explain:
“We feel the techno scene is embracing more cross-genre influences right now, and ‘Move 2 the Groove’ captures that perfectly.”
This blend of nostalgia, innovation, and contemporary power is exactly why LUSU are resonating so strongly across today’s global techno landscape.
Tracks from the EP have already been supported at:
Awakenings
Tomorrowland
Creamfields
Ultra (Croatia, Japan, South Korea)
And they’ve found champions across the techno elite, including:
Adam Beyer
Eli Brown
Mau P
Enrico Sangiuliano
With momentum this strong, LUSU’s Drumcode debut feels less like a beginning — and more like the start of a long-lasting legacy.
