Born in Istanbul and a New Yorker since childhood, Lorant’s musical output is powered by the pulsating energy of observing those mega-cities.

He founded Royal Advisor Records (RAR) in 2010 as a means to provide an open space for queer artists and allies to express their unique visions. Celebrating community through the liberating power of dance music over its 12-year run, which concluded in 2022, RAR prides itself on its innovative collaborations with a diverse group of artists, such as The Illustrious Blacks, Boys’ Shorts, and Severino of Horse Meat Disco.

Lorant recently made his debut at the catacombs of Brooklyn’s BASEMENT club and traveled to Mexico City to play for the nocturnal playground that is [sic] community club. Pre-pandemic, he was a resident at the infamous Cock bar. Helming the decks with his blend of spacey tribal house and deep techno, he’s played at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London, the Eagle LA for the Cub Scout party (hosted by Bears In Space), The Stud and Powerhouse in San Francisco for Folsom and Dore Alley festivals, and at Good Room in Brooklyn with The Carry Nation. His monthly Rockstrap party in the city’s West Village, now in its sixth year, has become the host venue’s most anticipated night in rotation as it consistently keeps growing in attendees. He’s also a part of the regular lineup of DJ’s at The Eagle NYC.

Lorant’s latest single "Rooms" is an ode to the first light of day that seeps through the skylight of an afterhours dance floor.

Possibly all the tracks I play and post are the soundtrack from an Iconic nightclub that functioned from 1990 to 1993 and that little club was called Legends in Warrington , north west England . The DJ’s were Mike Woods , Darren Noguerol , Steve Williams and Richard Garvey . Not your normal rave venue , it was quite unique as the BPM started around 90 and built up as the night progressed into some piano stomping tracks , techno , trance , rap and disco . Those that discovered it will tell you how amazing it was , only holding around 1100 ish and getting into the club was quite a challenge as it became more popular, you needed to que earlier in the day to get your raffle ticket and have the Legends membership card which I lost in 1992 because my wallet was stolen from some little tart in Tenerife , as I walked her back to her hotel , all my money gone but more importantly my membership card which for some reason I never got replaced as that was around the time I stopped going as for me the best days of Legends were 1990 and 1991 . So in a nutshell, Legends has a big place in my heart for the music that we got blessed with . It was a special time , it really was . The biscuits  amazing scent of the place , the people , the smiles and at the end of the night , we didn’t want to go home , DJ one more , one more …. 
It was short lived but long lived in memory and I have probably waffled on for too long now , anyway , I hope you like the tracks I’ve chosen and the mixes I’ve created …. 
One Legends and I just wander if there were any other club in the word like it . Woody and Noggy knew what they was doing and are masters and still to this day spin those vinyls . Now then , who’s ready for the next reunion?
