About

Empire Of The Sun is an Australian electro-pop duo formed in Sydney in 2006, comprising Luke Steele from The Sleepy Jackson and Nick Littlemore from Pnau. The pair initially collaborated on "With You Forever" for Pnau's 2007 self-titled album before establishing Empire Of The Sun as their primary project. Taking their name from the J.G. Ballard novel adapted into Steven Spielberg's 1987 film, the duo draws inspiration from acts like Phoenix and Daft Punk while maintaining their theatrical, larger-than-life persona.

The duo's sound has evolved from their synthpop and electropop origins into electronic dance music territories, with releases spanning Melodic House & Techno, Progressive House, and Indie Dance since March 2024. Their recent output appears on Beatport's top 100 charts, indicating their transition into club-focused productions that blend their pop sensibilities with dancefloor-ready arrangements. The group's current electronic releases maintain the melodic sophistication of their earlier work while incorporating the driving rhythms and extended structures that characterize modern house and techno music.
