In a conversation with Paolo from Nexus Radio during the Nexus Lounge experience, Peter Luts reflected on the creative environments that keep him inspired. Living in Belgium and traveling through vibrant cities like Amsterdam fuel his ideas. “You have a great club scene here, really nice people. It’s always alive,” he said, capturing the energy that continues to spark his sound.

“I’m already more than 25 years in the business, and once you have a hit, people expect it all the time.” That drive has pushed him to continuously evolve, experiment, and surprise his fans.
When asked about major influences, Peter Luts recalled the moment that changed everything: seeing Depeche Mode perform on television as a child. “That was the day I decided to be a musician,” he said, remembering their synthesizers with childlike awe. That early inspiration led to decades of chart-topping hits across multiple projects, including Lasgo’s iconic “Something,” which still garners millions of streams.
Peter Luts’s relationship with music is all-consuming. When Paolo asked what music means to him, Peter Luts didn’t hesitate:
“Everything. Music is my life.” Fans feel that passion in every beat he creates.
