Luiz Lima, aka Luje, started performing as a dj in 2000, just after a 6 month trip to Ye Olde United Kingdom, where he got really into electronic music and psychedelia.

Having tasted the flavor of a well established e-music scene Luje began to transmutate his previous and feverous passion for music into something people could appreciate, get crazy about and also dance to, in a movement he describes as "an intervention of the will into people's emotions and party moods through music sequences".

For him, what distinguishes psychedelic music from other genres is that the audience, to really experience a psychedelical state, has to participate in the creation of challenging and stimulating environment, instead of only enjoy themselves passively.

To provide such flourishing and pleasurable challenges, he presents in his sets only tracks that fit in the motto: "psychedelia has consequences that one particular state of mind can't always predict".

He ignores the top-notch, generic, fluffy, soulless stuff, and gives priority to innovative, twisted and/or weird material.

Instead of playing music people want to hear, he prefers to amuse them with things they didn't know they like.

While spinning, he sees himself as a shamanic tool of perception in a very important mission.
