These days, 'house party' often seems to mean Netflix and a takeaway for one, but Lucy Tun is here to remind us of a better way. You know, those halcyon times when 'networking' meant passing around an aux cord like it was the Holy Grail, and your biggest worry was whether your song choice would get your DJ privileges revoked. With her new single 'Come To My House', the Burmese-British artist has become a sort of pied piper for the intellectually curious party animal. It's music to make you turn your mate's mum's kitchen into a sweaty, pulsating echo of Studio 54.

As we dive into the world of Lucy Tun on the eve of her new single release, one can't help but feel a sense of anticipation. "I'm grabbing myself an iced coffee and preparing for the pre-release party for my new single later, so I'm very excited," she tells us, her enthusiasm palpable.

This year, she's definitely been up to 'stuff'. Since we last caught up with Lucy for our 2024 Hype List, she's - quote - "had the chance to open for Empress Of at her London show," and played Dot to Dot, kinda. "My car broke down, actually, and I missed my slot but got to hop on Charlotte Plank's for a few songs, and it really went off," she chimes. "I've been DJing for some amazing events, but mostly, I've been keeping to myself." 

That keeping to herself has involved the writing of new material. 'Come To My House', Tun's latest offering, is more than just a catchy summer tune; it's a statement of intent, a declaration of artistic growth, and a love letter to the communal spirit of dance music. "I DJ as a side income, and I really wanted a song for my sets," Lucy explains. "My last EP was very much artist Lucy, and I really wanted a dance song that reflected the music I play at London clubs."
