Lumia Releases Debut EP Kite
NYC-based artist and DJ Lumia is set to drop her anthemic debut house EP Kite, out on the 25th of June. Concluding the EP with title track, Kite features previous singles “My Boy” and “Heartaches”.
Opening single “My Boy” arrives as a mesmeric, bass-heavy house track with an alluring underground vibe. Anchored by the hook “my boy wants to party,” Lumia’s breathy topline exudes effortless cool over a driving, dancefloor-ready production. Dark, seductive, and irresistibly rhythmic, Lumia showcases her talent as both producer and vocalist. On “Heartaches,” Lumia reimagines Patsy Cline’s classic into a bold, high-voltage electronic anthem. Her airy vocals intertwine with sweeping vocoder harmonies, building to a powerful, euphoric drop. Title track “Kite” blends the traveling rhythms of bass house with the sleek precision of minimal techno, the rising talent delivers a sound that’s as chilled and non-chalant as it is cutting-edge. Weighted by the standout lyric, “I just wanna fly my kite,” Lumia’s signature whispery vocals encapsulate an ethos that’s vibey, moody, and effortlessly carefree.
Talking on the lead track and EP Lumia tells us: “This song turned into the perfect blend of my favourite sounds. I love that it’s danceable but totally chill. This is my first EP and also my introduction as a vocalist. I really love this project; each song represents a different piece of me.”
Lumia is a fast-rising force in the electronic music scene, known for fusing bass-driven melodic house, deep grooves, and tech-house energy. Her dynamic sound has already drawn critical attention, with standout performances opening for artists like Chloé Caillet, ChaseWest, and Devault, as well as a high-profile set at the URBAN OUTFITTERS x Pinterest event alongside Tinashe. Lumia is also set to open for producer and DJ duo Bedouin on June 21st for a Teksupport show.
Beyond the decks, Lumia is equally at home in the fashion world. A multi-hyphenate talent—DJ, model, and photographer—she seamlessly blends sound and style, establishing herself as a cultural tastemaker. Her striking aesthetic and creative versatility have earned her campaigns and collaborations with top-tier brands, including VANS, MARC JACOBS, BULGARI, TOMMY HILFIGER, SALOMON, and GUCCI. With runway appearances and a modelling contract with Elite Models, Lumia continues to expand her influence across industries.
With music as her creative anchor, Lumia is gearing up for an ambitious year—dropping one single each month. Her debut track, “New York,” landed the cover of Spotify’s Fresh Finds Dance playlist, while her follow-up, “Carmen,” also earned a spot on the same coveted list. Dubbed “New York’s Coolest DJ” by The Cut, Lumia has received international support from OFFICE MAG to WONDERLAND and is carving out her place in the electronic landscape—and shaping up to be a defining artist to watch in 2025.
