Just a few weeks ago, techno superstar Deborah De Luca was waging an internal war as surgeons removed a malignant tumor from her abdomen. She's now DJing in the heart of Times Square.
The Italian electronic music producer today announced a rare pop-up event to celebrate their third studio album, hard pop, which will be released on Friday via his own label Solomente Records. De Luca will play songs from the new album alongside several of his vocalists, he said.
It's a big moment for the resilient DJ, who last month revealed she underwent emergency surgery after discovering a tumour. But she recovered remarkably and traveled again to continue her tour after a week.
“I had an 'emergency' operation 6/7 days after the diagnosis because there was no time, in 1 or 2 months the tumor would have been removed from the organ that contained it, bringing consequences that I don't even want to write about. But you can imagine that “De Luca wrote in a statement on social media, translated from Italian. “I was very lucky”.

De Luca is renowned for her visceral sound, combining determination and grace for a more nuanced approach to techno music. hard pop has the feel of a full-blown showcase considering the album “celebrates [her] deep roots in Neapolitan techno, as well as his appreciation for the growing role of pop within the genre,” according to a press release shared with EDM.com.
De Luca will begin DJing in Times Square today, May 21, at 5 pm ET. Beatport will then stream a stream of the pop-up event tomorrow via Youtube.
“I'm so excited to bring my music to the heart of New York City with this once-in-a-lifetime event,” she said in a statement. “Times Square is a truly iconic destination and I am honored to have the opportunity to share the music from my new album with my fans across the United States.”
