OLAN | BIO 2024

Originating in 2015, OLAN is an indie electronic live act and DJ created by songwriter and producer Luzana Flores. After years of experimentation spanning genres from R&B to alternative rock, OLAN found solace in returning to her early influences, such as Bonobo, Little Dragon, Maribou State, and SBTRKT, propelling herself into a more introspective domain as a songwriter and producer.

With many months spent in solitude, 'Contra' emerged as OLAN's debut album on Anjunadeep. Musically, 'Contra' embodies a diverse range of electronic styles, from melodic house, breakbeat, and downtempo to UK Garage. OLAN prominently incorporated her own live instrumentation and vocals while recording the album. Suitably, Flores took 'Contra' on tour in 2021, gracing stages at Electric Forest, Beyond Wonderland, Ultra, The Gorge, and supporting Ben Böhmer on his North American tour.

As of 2023, OLAN has performed at numerous iconic venues, including Red Rocks, Printworks, The Concourse Project, and Avant Gardner, and has released follow-up tracks on Odesza's imprint Foreign Family and Ninja Tune, including the collaborative ‘Control’ EP with Philadelphia-based producer QRTR. This collaboration led to a season-long live support spot for Odesza’s ‘The Last Goodbye’ stadium tour, alongside Bonobo, Tokimonsta, and Bob Moses. Additionally, OLAN showcased her remixing talents with a remix of Slow Magic and Laxcity's song "Connection".

OLAN has since completed her second album ‘Floating Worlds’ that is set to release in the fall of 2024, further expanding her creative footprint in the electronic music scene with another multi-genre exploration to follow up her debut.
