Moullinex is the alter ego of Portuguese producer, dj and multi-instrumentalist Luis Clara Gomes (born 15 March 1984).

Originally from a small countryside town in Viseu, Portugal, he was surrounded by music and musicians during childhood and since an early age has been solely dedicated to the pursuit of his own sound, refusing to adhere to a specific genre or scene, but taking comfort in disco and house as a starting point.

Between worldwide touring and constant studio work - and while refusing to give up a career in neurology and astronomy research - he also helped to found Discotexas (with Xinobi & Mr Mitsuhirato), a record label and collective of artists from Lisbon.

After establishing himself as one of the leading artists in the disco scene, with several successful singles including ‘Take My Pain Away’ and ‘Maniac’ (featuring Peaches), and remixes of artists such as Røyksopp, Cut Copy and Two Door Cinema Club, whilst receiving the remix treatment himself, including an early remix from the Grammy award winning RAC, he’s been paving the road towards a long awaited new album, following three critically acclaimed albums, ‘Flora’ (2012), ‘Elsewhere’ (2015) and Moullinex’s third studio album, ‘Hypersex’ (2017) which spawned hit single 'Love Love Love' among others, becoming an album so widely well regarded that it saw him tour it around the world with his full band including headline shows in Paris, Barcelona, and back home in Lisbon with many shows including festivals in between. The album even prompting Fatboy Slim to comment: “Sounds like one of my better dreams”. Subsequently Moullinex has received exposure from BBC Radio 1 in the UK, as well as NPR (US) and Triple J (Aus) and become a mainstay in electronic publications such as Mixmag and DJ Mag.

To date Moullinex has had releases on Gomma Records, Discotexas, Majestic Casual Records, Exploited Ghetto, Club Sweat and Nervous Records.
