LOTIC

Raised in Houston, Texas, producer J’Kerian Morgan studied electronic music composition and saxophone at university before moving to Berlin in 2012, where she helped form the city's famed Janus collective. In recent years Lotic has evolved into one of Berlin's most original voices of avant-garde club music. An in-demand composer for brands, Lotic has contributed to campaigns for Givenchy, Prada and Nike. Her music has been placed in the 2019 documentary ‘Vision Portraits’ and used as the main theme for popular Adult Swim series ‘Shivering Truth’. She has steadily built a name in composition for dance, most recently creating and performing for the Kiani Del Valle project ‘Las Casas Invisibles’, which sold out two premiere performances at Berlin’s Funkhaus in 2020. As a remixer she has been in high demand for many years, contributing to rework projects for the likes of Björk, Ben Frost, Son Lux, These New Puritans and more. An expansive exploration of the many ways in which power can be expressed and experienced, ‘Power’, Lotic's debut album, was released in July 2018 via Tri Angle Records. Those familiar with Lotic’s two 2015 EPs — Heterocetera (Tri Angle) and Agitations (Janus) will trace a warm-blooded evolution: Power retains the Berlin musician’s inquisitive intensity, while mining the depths of nuance like never before. Power is grounded by Lotic’s love of Texan marching bands “Beats and drumming are so integral to black culture,” she explains; and was in part inspired by Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between The World And Me.
