## Breakthrough and KRUSHCLUB
Two 2023 singles, "Let Me See Ya Move!" (with cade clair) and "Smoke It Off!" (with jnhygs), brought wider attention and placed Lumi Athena among a wave of online electronic producers including Odetari, cade clair, and 9lives, three of his sometime collaborators.[2](https://www.shazam.com/artist/lumi-athena/1641357625) He released his first full-length album, *SMOKE IT OFF!*, in April 2023.[7](https://es.famousbirthdays.com/people/lumi-athena.html) After "SMOKE IT OFF" went viral, he signed with 25/7 Records.[5](https://artistweekly.com/how-lumi-athena-is-destroying-and-rebuilding-the-image-of-dance-music/) • [4](https://soundcloud.com/lumiathenaarchive)
