A duo from Mexico who go by the name Lights On Ceres shoot me into orbit with a spacey synthpop romancer named Moon Dance. We leave the constraints of earth’s gravity behind us we float languorously into the cosmos, illuminated in the soft glow of the disco funky electro aria, its chilled out blend of M83, Bag Raiders, and Digitalism a welcome escape from the banality of daily life. - I Heart Moosiq
Woahhhh. I’m definitely enjoying the space vibes in this track, “Ceres” is a dwarf planet and that’s a space joke. Definitely a throwback to the Tron era (just wait till the second breakdown hits around 2 minutes in) and a time when weird 80s influenced music with groovy synths was a thing. I miss the 80s. Tron: Legacy was also better than most of you people thought it was. - Salacious Sound

Bio
Our names are Alberto Espinosa and Pablo Zarate, we're musical duo from Mexico called Lights On Ceres, and we've been working on our project for about 5 years now. We've gone through different names, producers, labels, investors, and eventually decided to launch our project independently.
A little backstory:
Alberto
Espinosa was in a Mexican pop rock band called Nikki Clan from 2006 to 2010. He
was the bass player and backup vocals of the group. They were a hit with their
debut album which went gold. In 2011, Alberto started working with Pablo Zarate
as a musical duo called Fenix. They pitched their project to Mexican labels in
2012 and 2013 but were upset that their sound didn't feel genuine by the
restrictions in production freedom. Their friend Juan Mercado, joined their
team to help them out and invested in their project's needs and started
contacting producers. In 2014, they got a placement in the independent Mexican
movie Casi 30 (currently streaming on Netflix). With that placement in line,
they found a way to contact Gardner Cole (composer of Madonna's “Open Your
Heart”, who also worked with artists ranging from Nile Rodgers to the Jackson's)
and show him their music. He was really excited and they started working on
their EP together from 2014 to 2015.
