11 tracks. 3 acts. The exact moment Lucas becomes Klipsun. Four years in the studio, now taken to the world's dancefloors.
In an era of two-minute tracks, he made one of twelve.
EMERGE is a response to the rush of the market. Shaped by more than fifteen years inside psytrance, it is an album about the border between the imaginary and the real: the place where Lucas and Klipsun finally become one.
Sant'Ana do Livramento, on the border of Brazil and Uruguay. A mythic prologue — and a real recording of the first time a young Lucas ever played music for an audience.
On utopia — the perfect work imagined in the mind, and the imperfect human hands that build it. Five years to finish.
Music as abstract painting. “It all begins with a point,” said Kandinsky.
The question that opens the second act: what if Klipsun no longer existed?
A noir investigation built on Watchmen and Rorschach. The first track written for the album, in 2022.
Built in four days around Kang the Conqueror — one of the most complex storytelling pieces of his career.
Exile and the lost pearl, after Terrence Malick's Knight of Cups.
No river is crossed twice. On time — and on creating your own moment.
The Question asks about pre-fabricated pop. The answer is in the name: ipsum — himself.
Blade Runner meets the artist who shaped his whole path. Fifteen years from fan to studio partner.
The surface and what lies beneath it. The first word you hear is “Rise”.
The first time Perfect Stranger has signed a collaboration with a Brazilian artist — the music that joined psytrance to the classic atmosphere of cinema.
Twelve minutes, four years of refinement, one graphic-novel investigation. Its first week: top-selling releases worldwide.
“Ozora, August 2024. That's where I rediscovered my sound.”
Klipsun — two years later, he returned to Ozora to perform the album in full
Emerge was tested in the furnace of the world's biggest festival: its first full performance happened at Ozora 2026. In 2027, the album goes on the road.
A Klipsun set is built like a film — tension, release, narrative. The Emerge set carries that story into the flesh, sweat and reality of the dancefloor, proving that authorial electronic music keeps all its weight when it is played live.
