Lost Prince is the artistic alias of Paris Semel, a Canadian electronic music producer formerly known as half of the duo Paris & Simo.
After establishing himself in the progressive house scene during the 2010s, Semel rebranded to "Lost Prince" to explore a more cinematic, moody, and underground sound. The project is often described as a conceptual and "theatrical" take on house and techno.
Career & Sound
Lost Prince is heavily associated with Axtone Records, the label owned by Axwell (of Swedish House Mafia). His music is characterized by:
Hypnotic Melodies: A blend of deep, progressive house and melodic techno.
Classical Influences: He often incorporates cinematic structures and "theatrical" tension-building elements.
Anonymity: For the first few years of the project, the identity of Lost Prince was kept relatively secret to let the music and the "mystic" aesthetic lead the brand.
Notable Releases & Projects
"Alka": His breakout track on Axtone, which gained massive support from top-tier DJs like Swedish House Mafia and Tiësto.
"Ethera": Another key release that solidified his signature atmospheric sound.
"Always On My Mind" (feat. Pony): A high-profile collaboration that showcased his ability to blend club energy with emotional vocals.
"Exile" EP: A more recent project (2023) that pushed into darker, more progressive rhythms.
Performance Style
When performing live, Lost Prince often leans into a "waves and mirrors" aesthetic—utilizing immersive visuals to match his soundscapes. He frequently plays at major European clubs and has held opening slots for massive acts like Dimitri Vegas.
