Moullinex
Plan B, August 19th
It’s not dance music. It’s just music. Despite his intense activity in that world, Moullinex, the alter-ego of Luis Clara Gomes, wants to be, and is, much more than a mere dance machine. It’s not that he’s not good at getting people shaking, it’s just that he moves equally well between various genres and environments, be they the dance floor, the sofa or the street. This time he’s back at Plan B to spread all his magic on the dance floor.
