Enchanting the Internet: Inside the World of Louka Tessier and Shadow Wizard Money Gang

From deep in the enchanted forests of rural Quebec, Louka Tessier has manifested a movement that blends wizardry, internet chaos, and beats so cursed they might just open a portal to another dimension. As the official CEO of Shadow Wizard Money Gang™, Louka isn’t just making music—he’s running an underground cult (but like, in a cool way)

Raised on Memphis revival sounds and the mystical teachings of DJ Smokey, Louka started crafting beats in total isolation, slowly ascending to his final form: Street Shaman of the Internet. What began as a collective of basement-dwelling geniuses has become a full-blown cultural hex, with their iconic "we love casting spells" tagline spreading like wildfire across TikTok and beyond.

GUSH got the rare chance to speak with Louka about the wizard economy, raves as modern rituals, his dangerously high dry sausage consumption, and whether pigeons are government drones or just really bad at making eye contact.

WHO ARE YOU?

Just a ghetto boy from the woods of Québec.

ARE YOU A MUSIC PRODUCER OR A CULT LEADER?

A bit of both, more of a street shaman perhaps. Listening to music regularely is maybe the closest form of ritual allowed to be performed in the modern world where religion is erased. That’s why late night raves hold such a powerful experience, with or without the use of drugs.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE OFFICIAL CEO OF MAGIC AND MONEY?

Feels good to be free from working a job or being a criminal, much sacrafices were made to be in that position. I never tought I could do it.

yOUR FEED IS CRACK WHO DOES YOUR VISUALS?

I do all of my visuals always. But my friend leomatrx helps a lot with my music videos as he films and edits with me. I worked with a bunch of talented video guys like emenard and touchemoipas100k But I’m always in the creative director seat

LOWKEY FAVORITE SNACK?

Jalapeno takis with guacamole perhaps...Lightelf put me on to that. But I eat a lot of dry sausages, its like 45% of my alimentation as I usually only eat one meal a day.

WHAT SONG WOULD PLAY WHEN YOU ENTER A ROOM?

Extraction zone by Dragonforce.

WHAT DID YOU SAVE DJ SMOKEY AS ON YOUR PHONE?

big smokey (nuclear emoji)

WHAT’S THE MOST DANGEROUS IDEA YOU’VE EVER HAD?

Starting to smoke cigarettes lol

IF YOUR LIFE HAD A REDDIT THREAD, WHAT’S THE TITLE?

Saw this guy on the street, is he homeless or a time traveller?

FAVORITE BEVERAGE?

Bleu Dry 11%

DO YOU THINK PIGEONS ARE CCTV CAMERAS? 

I think realistically birds are to articulate to mass produce as electronic beings. Bugs would be a much more efficient method of surveillence.

DREAM COLLAB?

Musically I think maybe Skrillex or NBA Youngboy, fashion-wise it would Walter Van Beirendonck or CCP.

WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU’D NEVER ADMIT IN A NORMAL INTERVIEW?

I suck my thumb when i sleep
