"This mix would be in the same vibe of my set at Awakenings. Since I'm playing early in the day, I kept it a bit deeper and groovier than what I usual do, minimal breaks, steady momentum, and a lot of rhythm. To me, this is how I love to start a festival: rolling energy that sets the tone and keeps people moving".

A French DJ based in Paris, Lola Cerise was born in a family of creatives, her mother was
a classical musician, and her uncle was a chief orchestra. She played the piano but
confesses her rebellious side lead her to do her own thing, where during her teenage
years became a regular at many illegal raves where she discovered acid core, tribal and
tribe core genres.

When she was a teenager, she openly talks about her mother’s battle with depression
over her parents’ divorce, a situation which has deeply created her necessity for a
hardworking attitude, along with never needing to depend on anyone but herself to
achieve her goals.

At 18, she initially moved to Lyon to study art and made the decision to learn
photography as a profession, dropped out of university and became a part time model
to help pay for her studies. After some years studying photography, she decided to move
to Australia for 3 years, where she started to get back into raving. It was there Lola
started to play around with DJ’ing, progressing to producing within a year and soon
realised that she needed to move to a new city, Paris in 2022.

Lola’s music is a reflection of all of these experiences, sometimes its fast and intense,
other times more emotive and complex, but always tells a story. She has released on
Gomboc Records, Comme des les films, Khazad Records and Record Union, supported
already by Indira Paganotto, I Hate Models and Cera Khin, she also has landed a slot as
a resident at the legendary Gotec Club, whilst starting her own label First Date Without
Panties, alongside key streams with HÖR Berlin, and BCCO. She announces her debut
in 2025, with an 8 track mini LP on ARTCORE, a big milestone and the start of an exciting
new journey.

Highlights: - Artcore EP release + Upcoming Collab Album on my label in september

and connecting powers have not been going unnoticed, even far beyond the Dutch
borders. Besides show-packed weekends in The Netherlands, Lucky played France,
Germany, Lithuania and he also did an Asia-tour last year.

With a unique blend of energy, passion, and technical skill, Lucky Done Gone consistently captivates his audience. His sets are a mixture of eternal sounds: house, 90’s techno, 00’s trance, Leftfield and anything fresh for the dancefloor he just dug up. Bringing the crowds modest vibes, but also the more emotional side of things. Ever since his first introduction to the audience, the special connection between the crowd and Lucky Done Gone has only grown stronger.

As a producer Lucky Done Gone has worked hard on his own music these past years. This has led to releases on DGTL Records in '22 and '24, his Brainwave EP on Paradiso Vinyl Club (2023), a remix for Jungle By Night ft. Merol (2025) and a remix for Brass Rave Unit (2024). With more releases in the planning, this part of Lucky’s path is set to see more highlights in the future.

The years 2024 and 2025 have been a special period so far. Touring Asia, followed by a tour around the Netherlands with TLM (Tjade, Lucky Done Gone, Moody Mehran) that visited renowned concert halls like Paradiso and 013, and sold-out faster than they would have ever dreamed of. The rest of the year was looking bright too, with a summer filled with festivals like Awakenings, Into The Woods, The Crave, Ohm, Down the Rabbit Hole, Orbit Festival, ZeeZout Festival, and, last but not least, the Bravo tent at Lowlands.

In 2022 Lucky Done Gone set-up his own platform ‘Modus’ at club Parallel on the north side of Amsterdam. It’s here that he can connect people and show his diverse musical taste in multiple ways, which goes far beyond ‘just’ house and techno. Looks like you don’t have to try hard to see or hear Lucky Done Gone, as he will be around almost everywhere this coming year.
