Lotis Tyr is a solo project melding musical and cinematic elements into hallucinatory soundscapes with vibrant beats and distinctive vocals. Her dusky synth pop is like the soundtrack for a dream: full of mystery and uncertainty, haunted by dark desires and faded memories.

Born to a Greek father and a German mother who travelled the continents, Lotis grew up absorbing sounds from all corners of the world.  Having spent her youth listening to guitar- heavy music and singing in the school choir, she decided to settle down in the midst of the bustling, ever-changing Berlin of the early millennium, enhancing her musical horizon with the city ́s electronic repertoire. Lotis obtained a Master of Arts degree in Film and Literature, then got a glimpse of movie making working on international film sets and eventually writing her first script. Deeply influenced by the silver screen both theoretically and practically, Lotis started capturing her musical ideas on her computer. In 2011 her first band, the electropop formation “Mont Royal“, was founded. When the duo decided to go separate ways in 2014, “Lotis Tyr“ was born: an all-digital solo project melding musical and cinematic elements into hallucinatory soundscapes with vibrant beats and distinctive vocals. Given the multitude of influences that run through her biography, it comes as no surprise that Lotis Tyr identifies with all things hybrid: “I don ́t seem to relate to one-dimensional perspectives. I always feel in between, caught in the middle of the established dualities. Northern and southern, strong and fragile, male and female, old and new – I carry all of them within me.“ Hence the artist name which combines the Greek widely unknown name Lotis – a nymph that was rescued from a sexual assault by a donkey ́s cry and was then transformed into a lotus tree – with „Tyr“, a Norse war god.
Lotis Tyr ́s debut EP "Intro" was released in 2017 and was followed by the single "Somebody Else ́s Eyes (Blinded Version 2018)".  While she delved into the possibilities of seamlessly combining electronic beats with cinematic strings and rich synth sounds in her early songs, Lotis Tyr ́s upcoming 5-track-EP is an even deeper musical exploration of the simultaneity of the nonsimultaneous. On each track of her sophomore EP present impressions, thoughts and feelings are sonically reflected in „memoryscapes“, i.e. in mental and emotional sediments of time. Thus, Lotis Tyr creates futuristic synth-pop with archaic, ritualistic elements, densely layered and oftentimes pulsing. However, since memories cannot only be deceiving, but also haunting, Lotis Tyr ́s new songs are fraught with ambiguity. And so, „Second Hit“, the title of the EP, primarily alludes to the psychological phenomenon during which past trauma resurfaces even though the initial injury has already been deemed healed.
Lotis Tyr ́s EP „Second Hit“ was released in November 2021.

"One of the best nights out in London. Daring, gorgeous and high-energy, it effortlessly and fearlessly smashes together goth with glam, wicca with warehouse and trans with techno.

Imagine the nightclub scene from Blade mixed with the nightclub scene from the Matrix. Throw in a few dozen London club kids, some fashion designers and DJs and some old-school straight partiers out for a good time, and you’re sort of getting close to the vibe." - QX Magazine, August 2019

• Some of our regulars and guests are Pornceptual Berlin, Buttons Berlin, Gegen Berlin, Sisyphos Berlin, Bordel Des Arts Berlin, Katerblau Berlin, Homostash, Mønster Queen, Kunstkammer, TrashEra Berlin, Transister, TROUGH London, Betriebsfeier Berlin and many more...

Perceiving the idea of community as a demagogic form for bigger powers like religions, societies and markets to exercise their violence with the fake flag of politically correct partecipation, we do not wish to design a party just to give you a safe space and protection. We are not selling you the possibility to be “queer” for one night. We want to expose you to your own fears and pleasures by pushing you to understand how your own power mechanisms are produced. This is why we invite you to be GEGEN by performing your psychosis, by being the enemy of yourself, by thinking and being out of b/order and by destroying every rational thought.
