ALUNA

MYCELiUM
NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE

Change happens by reshaping and recalibrating the ruins of yesterday into a stronger tomorrow. Rather than wait around for the system to wake up, Aluna actively architects structures supportive of a brighter, bolder, and, always, more inclusive future. Of Jamaican and Indian heritage, she’s always defied dance music orthodoxy by virtue of her own predilection for the genre, but she’s also made inroads for other creatives to
follow her unapologetic path. It’s why she’s quietly become a boundary-breaking force, merging electronic, indie, alternative, and pop and integrating voices rarely represented in this space. Now, she crystallizes this community as a movement in its own right on her second full-length solo offering, Mycelium, and much more to come.

“The Mycelium is the cell network seeped into the fabric of nature,” she notes. “I’m not talking about the bloom or the fruits. You need to lay the groundwork to see the fruit one day. I got burnt out from trying to work with powerful people who have lots of money and no actual genuine care for what I’m trying to do. I realized there was no foundation where I was standing, and we have to build our own foundation. It’s not going to be all bells and whistles; it’s going to be substance. So, I broke some barriers and started mentoring creative fans. I built a community of Black Ravers on Geneva and by joining groups on Instagram and social media. Now, the album is my community I’ve created.”
