Intro

LŪN is the electronic alter-ego of Canadian artist Lights (Valerie Anne Poxleitner), serving as a creative outlet for darker, bass-heavy production that diverges from her primary pop career. The project was conceptually birthed within the 'Skin & Earth' comic book series written and illustrated by Lights, existing as an underground artist in that fictional world before manifesting as a real-world musical entity.

Musically, LŪN operates within the 'mid-tempo bass' movement popularized by artists like Rezz, but distinguishes itself through a specific aesthetic she calls 'gothbounce.' This style emphasizes 100-110 BPM rhythms, heavy distortion, and a cyberpunk atmosphere. Since her debut, LŪN has evolved from a remix-focused side project into a prolific standalone act with multiple EPs. Critical consensus views the project as a successful genre pivot that showcases Lights' technical proficiency in sound design and her ability to build immersive, multi-media narratives. The project occupies a unique space in the Canadian electronic scene, bridging the gap between mainstream pop visibility and underground bass culture.
