Fake Rust by Loris

Fake Rust is a three track EP that weaves together Middle Eastern instruments, Latin influences, and hints of tribal rhythm.

The title Fake Rust came from a trip I took with artist and dear friend Jacqueline L. Palma and her daughter to the desert in Coahuila. There, we scanned stones covered in lichen. At first glance, the textures looked like rust, but in truth they were alive, quietly transforming the surface of the rocks. That illusion stayed with me: something appearing aged or corroded, but actually vibrant and breathing.

This EP carries that same paradox (raw, percussive, and earthy), yet built for movement, connection, and energy. Fake Rust is a reminder that what looks like decay can instead be growth, and that the dancefloor, like the desert, is full of hidden life.
