Get to know - Lundi Bleu

Lundi Bleu's journey through the electronic music landscape is one shaped by cultural crossroads, unexpected encounters, and a beautiful passion for sound. From the neon glow of Parisian nights to Berlin’s underground sanctuaries, his story is one of artistic evolution, community, and activism.

Paris has long been a city made for electronic music, producing legends like Daft Punk, Justice, and Kavinsky. For Lundi, it was an encounter straight out of a movie that set him on the path to becoming a DJ.

“One day, I was having coffee in Montmartre and reading a book. A guy sat next to me and asked about it. He was very tan, and the only thing he told me was that he had just returned from a secret island. After talking for a bit, he told me he had a recording studio and that I should stop by. So I went and discovered unmasked photos of Daft Punk and a Grammy statue. I was already DJing a little at the time, but that moment made me decide to go full-time. Big up to Gaspard from Justice, who gave me a nice push to come play in the US.”

That push led to his first residency at the legendary Chez Moune, a venue that blurred the lines between cabaret and club, connecting him to Berlin’s underground scene and shaping his DJ identity.

“That was such a great time. Back then, there was no social media, and people were hanging out for an experience. Moune was known as a lesbian cabaret and transformed into an underground electronic/techno club open till 6 AM. We had a lot of DJs from Berlin playing very niche music, sometimes close to experimental. That was my school, and it taught me to be free and play what I wanted. If the right music is played at the right time, people will dance. Don't try to seduce them with lyrics or bangers they already know; just bring them into your world.”

The unfiltered energy of Berlin’s club scene became a pivotal influence on Lundi Bleu’s artistic philosophy. A school trip to the German capital at age 20 turned into an impromptu baptism into the city’s nightlife.

“I ditched the school activities and ended up at Berghain haha. It was a gay fetish night, and I was the only one allowed in while most people got rejected. The music was fresh, and there were no pretensions—everyone was there for the music. I was blown away by how integral clubs are to Berlin’s culture. You can work a regular job and still party from Thursday to Monday, with after-parties and spontaneous invites all over the city. If you hear music in the street, strangers will usually open their doors to you—just don’t forget to bring a six-pack. DJing in Berlin feels more about community than business, and I love that authenticity.”

Having played internationally, he sees stark differences between cities. Parisian crowds, with their deep knowledge of electronic music, create an organic flow, while New York and LA offer a mix of commercial and underground energy.

“In Paris, you can enter clubs at 5 AM since they close at 6, and the crowd is more reactive. New York’s scene is divided—Manhattan is more commercial, while Brooklyn has a stronger club culture. LA, on the other hand, surprises me. Clubs close at 2 AM, so people show up at 10 PM as if it's already 4 AM in Paris. My favorite parties in LA are villa parties in the Hollywood Hills.”

Beyond the dancefloor, Lundi Bleu has leveraged his platform for activism. his latest album, Planet B, is a bold statement on environmental awareness, blending music with a call for change.

“I’ve been very concerned about the environment for a long time. The tipping point came when I visited a family in Melbourne, and kids had to wear sunscreen during the day because of the ozone hole. I thought making an album about the planet would be a great way to spread the message globally since music has no borders. I see a lot of festivals in Europe being eco-responsible like We Love Green in Paris. Artists like Moby also inspired me to become more active in that area.”

His release party for Planet B in NYC doubled as a fundraiser for wildfire relief, proving that electronic music can be a vehicle for action.

“We were lucky to have a great turnout at Virgo in New York. It showed that the music and its message are making an impact. Music doesn’t need to be engaged, but I like to merge my convictions with my art. Americans, in general, like to donate to good causes. I prefer to see artists active for a cause rather than DJs showing off their private jet trips like trophies. What's the point of being super rich and alone when the earth is burning?”

The album itself is a sonic and thematic evolution, exploring existential questions through analog synthesis.

“The album starts with a strong statement: ‘There is no planet B.’ We also explore philosophical topics like infinity and life reproduction. With tracks like Inferno, we question the concept of the afterlife. We recorded the album with Grammy-winning engineer Jeremy Loucas at Sear Sound Studio, using analog instruments like the first Moog System 55 and a theremin to create space-like sounds.”

The New York club scene is currently in flux, with DJs creating their own spaces in response to exploitative practices. Lundi Bleu has experienced this shift firsthand.

“After the pandemic, things changed. Inflation hit, and club owners started struggling. Some venues now sell expensive tables and underpay DJs while expecting them to bring the crowd. In response, many DJs are forming collectives, organizing their own events, and sharing bar profits and door cash for a fairer model.”

A turning point in his artistic journey came while watching Claptone in Mykonos.

“Claptone played a free, independent set without commercial tracks, mostly new releases, and his productions. That experience reminded me of my German club days. It’s about the connection between nature and music that creates magic. I had a similar experience with Eric Prydz at Miami Music Week. Both taught me that you can be a popular DJ while maintaining musical integrity.”

As he gears up for future tours, he’s looking beyond traditional club venues to more immersive settings.

“Touring and traveling with music has always been a dream of mine. After establishing myself in Paris, New York, and LA—especially through the challenges of the pandemic—I feel I’m finally ready. I’d love to play in unique venues, like Daft Punk did on their Alive tour, or in places connected to nature. Tulum, Mykonos, and Bali are on my list, and I’ve even reached out to Cercle with a few ideas.”

Lundi Bleu is one of those artists who really gets what DJing is about—the raw, unfiltered connection between music, people, and place. His journey feels almost cinematic, from that chance encounter in Montmartre with a guy fresh off a “secret island” to discovering Daft Punk’s unmasked photos in a hidden studio. It’s the kind of story that makes you believe in fate.

What I love about him is his authenticity. He’s not just another DJ chasing clout or streaming numbers—he’s someone who truly lives the culture. His time at Chez Moune, surrounded by Berlin’s underground sounds, shaped his fearless approach to playing whatever feels right instead of just chasing crowd-pleasers. That’s rare.

And then there’s Planet B. Using music to push environmental activism isn’t just a gimmick for him—it’s personal. The fact that he self-produced albums using solar power? That’s next level. You can tell he actually cares, and in a scene where private jets and overpriced tables are the norm, that’s refreshing.

Musically, his influences run deep, from Daft Punk’s French touch to Berlin’s after-hours grit. He understands how different cities move—Paris' all-night energy, New York’s split scene, LA’s early but high-intensity nights. That adaptability makes him stand out.

Lundi Bleu isn’t just another name in the electronic world—he’s someone who’s bringing back a sense of purpose to DJing. And honestly? The scene needs more artists like him.
