The Lumïsade vision for spine-tingling Balearic brilliance has already been previewed to the dance world scene via collaborative hits like “Ocean Drive”, “Yámana” and “Mañana”, their studio work proving so inspiring that it motivated the pair to pursue a new sound, a fresh mentality and an entirely new musical project. Lumïsade is now signed to Armada Music.
“We literally spent months with planning and sound design, mapping out the new Lumïsade style, and we think the result is truly unique and something that hasn't been done before,” says Hahmo.
The new project emerges as the next chapter for two producers who have both played an essential role in the Finnish electronic music scene, sharing decades of studio expertise between them.
Hahmo’s history in club music stretches back to when he helped pen the Anjunabeats classic “Alt+F4” in 2004, with his sound eventually channelled into the timeless “Cocktail Bar” on Anjunadeep, a defining record for the Helsinki mainstay. More recently, he’s launched his own Hahmo Recordings label and juggled his talent for deeper sounds with a flirtation with the mainstage, with weapons like ‘Gold Rush’ earning support from Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Hardwell, Above & Beyond and more.
Meanwhile, K-System aka Kimmo Kauppinen has a history in club culture that stretches back to the late ‘90s, as one of the true veterans of the Finnish dance scene. Both behind the scenes as an in-house writer for Warner Chappell, as well with his own bevy of successful albums and singles, the compilations he’s mixed for Ministry of Sound, plus remixes for massive names like Tiësto, Judge Jules and more.
"Electronic music has always been our passion, and we share a lot of good memories around the culture,” says Kauppinen. “Our vision is to produce high-quality music and live shows with our own unique twist, and to deliver unforgettable memories and experiences for our fans.”
Imagine Armin van Buuren playing one of his coveted warm-up sets on the Ushuaïa rooftop, the distinct brand of deep Balearic he’s known to open parties on special occasions. Or instead, picture the darker progressive you might hear in an intimate club as the sun starts to rise at 6am. This is the sound of Lumïsade.

Lumïsade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm paralyzed by the way you move
You put on quite a show
You get me high with a single touch
I feel alive with the way you love
You've got me hooked on you
Stuck in a game for two
In paradise with the things we do
You put on quite a show
Left me in vertigo
You get me high with a single touch
I feel alive with the way you love
Lights turn red
I'm on a wrong side of the bed
You got me feeling so completed, I'm defeated
I still need it, you know that I need it
Out of my head, you got me upside down again
Oh, I'm still feeling so completed
I'm defeated
I still need it, you know that I need it
You know that I need it
You've got me hooked on you
Stuck in a game for two
I'm paralyzed by the way you move
In paradise with the things we do
You put on quite a show
Left me in vertigo
You get me high with a single touch
I feel alive with the way you love
Lights turn red
I'm on a wrong side of the bed
You got me feeling so completed, I'm defeated
I still need it, you know that I need it
Out of my head, you got me upside down again
Oh, I'm still feeling so completed
I'm defeated
I still need it, you know that I need it
The song RED by Lumïsade is a love song about being hooked on someone and feeling both paralyzed by their presence as well as alive because of their love. The lyrics describe the feelings of being wrapped up in a game for two, where the singer is both defeated and completed by their love interest. The chorus talks about the lights turning red, which might symbolize a warning or sign of danger, but instead, the singer feels like they are on the wrong side of the bed, a metaphor that implies a feeling of disorientation or confusion.
The verses and the chorus are repetitive which helps to amplify the hypnotic and trance-like feel of the music. The bridge of the song is where the singer declares their need for their love interest, acknowledging that they are defeated but they still need their love.
Overall, the song RED is a poignant and rhythmically charged exploration of addiction to a romantic relationship. It describes the feeling of being trapped while simultaneously feeling the need to remain wrapped up in the romance.

You've got me hooked on you
I am captivated and deeply addicted to you
Stuck in a game for two
We are both involved in this emotional challenge together
I'm paralyzed by the way you move
The way you carry yourself leaves me stunned and motionless
In paradise with the things we do
We are in a state of pure bliss when we engage in activities together
You put on quite a show
You display an impressive spectacle of love and emotion
Left me in vertigo
You have left me feeling disoriented and dizzy with emotion
You get me high with a single touch
Your touch alone brings me immense joy and euphoria
I feel alive with the way you love
Your love is what gives me true vitality and purpose
Lights turn red
The environment is now signaling a warning or danger
I'm on a wrong side of the bed
I am feeling particularly negative or agitated
You got me feeling so completed, I'm defeated
You make me feel utterly fulfilled but also powerless and overwhelmed
I still need it, you know that I need it
I cannot live without your love and attention
Out of my head, you got me upside down again
You have me so consumed with emotion that my thoughts are scattered and erratic
Oh, I'm still feeling so completed
Despite any negative emotions, I still feel wholly satisfied by your presence
I'm defeated
I am left feeling powerless or weakened
You know that I need it
You are fully aware of the intense desire I have for you

I’m obsessed with this song. Great beat, love the breaks, so powerful and sexy. One the best songs I’ve heard in a while. Hypnotic.
@TranceSound
Great track indeed! It well reminds me of those good times when Progressive Trance was mixed with Breaks and then merged with an angelic female voice and transformed into a great track such as this! Well done!
