Loran is an Austrian - Uruguayan DJ and guitarist born in Geneva, Switzerland and currently residing in Barcelona

He grew up listening to bands such as Pearl Jam, Soda Stereo, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, ACDC, Michael Jackson, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/ New Order, Led Zepellin, Jimi Hendrix to name a few. During the late 90s he started playing the guitar and exploring the club scene in Washington DC which paved the way for his passion for electronic music. He would become heavily influenced by the underground electronic scene during the early 2000s in Montevideo, Uruguay where his appetite for EDM was further cultivated thanks to the diverse selection of DJs and artists who performed at the renowned club Milenio. That passion would continue to grow as he continued to explore the underground club scene and electronic music festivals while living in Ottawa, Canada up until the late 2000s where upon moving to Buenos Aires, Argentina a whole new world opened up which allowed him to hone his taste for electronic music into Deep House, Progressive House and Melodic House. Since then he has participated in a wide range of electronic festivals throughout Argentina, Europe, North America and Uruguay and has performed live sets at private events. 

In 2018 he partnered with the highly acclaimed Uruguayan DJ Oscar Valdez who helped him cultivate a deeper understanding of DJing allowing him to post a wide variety of sets containing tracks produced by artists he supports today. During 2020 he has continued to expand his grip on electronic music and controllers by learning from the highly acclaimed Uruguayan DJ Alana Ley. 

He has been heavily influenced by DJs such as Sasha, Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, Paul van Dyk, Cid, Inc, Dmitry Molosh, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Guy Gerber, Nick Warren, Fernando Ferreyra, Mark Alow, Lauren Lo Sung, Acid Paulie, Sartori and Berni Turletti.
