Life on Other Planets (L.o.O.P.) is a Berlin-based live electronic ensemble crafting hypnotic soundscapes at the intersection of 60s-70s psychedelia and contemporary club culture.

No computers. No playlists. No expectations.

We transport club and festival audiences out of known space, with an improvised voyage through deep, hypnotic, and mesmerizing dance music —all created in real-time through a constellation of hardware and acoustic instruments:  drum machine, synths, electric cello, flute, vocals, loopers, and effects.

what is ‘live’ ?
In an era of meticulously programmed DJ and live performances, L.o.O.P. offers something increasingly rare: genuine musical spontaneity and risk-taking. No two performances are the same.

Our spaceship's crew features James Fish (drum machine, synths), DAEDE (vocals, flute, effects), and Simon Hoffmann (cello), regularly joined by a rotating cast of guest cosmonauts. Each performance becomes a unique conversation between musicians and audience—a journey where neither knows the exact destination.
