Some EPs feel like business cards. Pulse Engine from Lunatronic feels more like a control panel: five tracks wired together, one pulse running through the whole thing. The Spanish Drum and Bass producer, now based in London, delivers a project that speaks both to late-night ravers and headphone obsessives – the kind who rewind a snare roll just to hear how it hits the room.
Lunatronic: thinking in moods, not boxes
On le papier, Lunatronic is a Drum and Bass producer. In reality, she’s playing a wider game. Her music stretches across a full emotional range:
- melancholic, slow-burning moments,
- darker, more intense passages flirting with the heavier edges of DnB,
- and an increasingly strong cinematic, ethereal streak that makes her tracks feel almost like short films.
Her influences say a lot: classical, electronic, alternative… She doesn’t quote them, she digests them. The result is a sound that can speak to pure bass heads and to listeners who usually live outside the DnB bubble.
What really sets her apart is this sense of concept: Lunatronic likes projects that feel like a journey rather than a playlist. There’s always a thread, a mood, a story running underneath the drums and bass, even when the tempo is full throttle.
Pulse Engine: five tracks, one system
With Pulse Engine, Lunatronic isn’t trying to tick every sub-genre box. Instead, she goes for cohesion. The five tracks feel like they’re powered by the same internal mechanism:
- sharp, tightly programmed breaks,
- driving low-end that pushes the tracks forward without turning into pure aggression,
- catchy melodic lines that stay in your head long after the last kick fades.
You can hear the obsession with flow: the way tension is built, where the track breathes, how the energy ramps up and cools down again. It’s the kind of EP you don’t really listen to in shuffle mode – you hit play and let it run from start to finish.
“Love How You’re Moving”: the dancefloor moment
If you need a gateway into Pulse Engine, start with “Love How You’re Moving”. It has all the makings of a future set favourite:
- a groove that locks in instantly,
- a bassline that leans forward and doesn’t let go,
- bright, uplifting touches in the toplines that bring a rush of euphoria,
- and a real sense of build-up and release that feels tailor-made for a peak-time drop.
Lunatronic’s signature is front and center here: emotion in plain sight inside a track that still hits like a proper club weapon. It doesn’t just “work” on the dancefloor – it captures that exact moment when someone across from you is moving so perfectly with the music that you stop just hearing the track and start feeling the whole scene.
An artist building worlds, not just releases
Pulse Engine is one more chapter in a bigger story. Look across Lunatronic’s projects and you’ll notice a recurring pattern:
she doesn’t just release tracks, she builds small self-contained universes.
Sometimes that means more organic colours, hints of folk and acoustic textures woven into modern Drum and Bass. Other times, she goes full sci-fi and futuristic, flirting with neurofunk territory, metallic bass design and high-pressure atmospheres.
The common thread: a balance between introspection and impact. Her music can hit hard in a DJ set, but it also holds up when you’re alone with your thoughts and a good pair of headphones.
