Electronic music producer and DJ Alluxe brings the heat with her debut EP 'Nomad' out on August 27. Listen to "Brain Trust," which recently premiered on Life + Times, here!

Having been commissioned this year by M83, Polica and Mr. Hudson for remixes, the 'Nomad' EP will be the debut of her signature sound-hip hop meets bass music-banging, futuristc, growling electronic beats. The dramatic builds and gritty razor sharp percussion give the EP a dense big-room cinematic feel, a nod to her classical training. Speaking of which, her violin playing can be heard on Watch the Throne, Hit-Boy's mixtape, Dancing With the Stars-the list goes on.

"I've been really inspired by lots of different types of bass music and wanted to make something that combined my love for hip hop and EDM with my signature symphonic sounds and future synths," says Alluxe on "Brain Trust."

After spending the last several years touring the world as Kanye West's music programmer, (she has also worked on shows for Jay Z, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Herbie Hancock, Cat Power, Bon Iver, Drake, Silversun Pickups, Garbage and Childish Gambino) Alluxe is ready to take the music scene by storm, not only in sound but in vision. Her huge sound and fashion-forward look is complimented by her alluring stage presence complete with custom LED controllers, vocals and violin. She never fails to surprise as she mixes original compositions, improvised beats, and violin loops seamlessly with samples from such diverse artists as RL Grime and Machinedrum to Juicy J and Araabmuzik.
