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.

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 is 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.
