Lucy’s Berlin label retrieves stark images from the near future of techno.
Luca Mortarello has big ideas: in minutes he covers “a vision of how an avant-garde club should sound,” speaks of “techno that delivers not only an ecstatic moment of dancing, but also messages and images, like a sound mimesis of our dystopian world,” and how “music (and art in general) can’t really be constructive, layered and strongly expressive, without discipline.”
It’s this breadth and singularity of vision that elevate his own tracks and choice remixes from Luke Slater and the princely Dadub – visceral and cerebral, they’re a sound apart, eschewing obvious mores for deconstructed dancefloor depth. Get to know.
