Luciano

Real Name:
Lucien Nicolet
Profile:
"Born in 1978, Luciano is a DJ since 1993 and a producer since 1997. In the mid-90's, he was promoting Sense Club and Encuentros con la Technocultura in Santiago de Chile in the company of many initiators of the Latin American electronic music scene: Senor Coconut AKA Atom Heart, Ricardo Villalobos, Dandy Jack & brother Adrian Schopf, Washington Miranda, Argenix Brito, Microman etc.

He's played radio stations and DJed clubs & events in Santiago and Latin America, Germany, Spain & Holland, settling in Switzerland in 2000 to release on Mental Groove Records in Geneva, where he also holds a residency at the Weetamix club. His releases appear on the Transmat, Perlon, Lo-Fi Stereo, Bruchstuecke and Klang Elektronik record labels.

Luciano's mixed Swiss & Chilean identity shows in his music, a somewhat mystical blend of deep techno & electro that integrates southern elements in rhythms and colorful patterns in sound. His collaborations with Ricardo Villalobos (Playhouse, Perlon, Warp, Force Inc etc.) as Sense Club are especially rewarding, as is his partnership with Pier Bucci and Argenix Brito as Monne Automne.

Mellowing his style as times goes by, getting more experimental and spacey with a fresh style of his own, Luciano’s production is destined to the wiser dancefloors that have enjoyed his live sets in Peru, Chile, Argentina, the U.S., Spain, Germany & Switzerland. DJ-wise, Luciano’s trade relies on groovy & minimal".

Review by acryl Aug 02, 2003
Luciano is for me one of the most interesting producers out there right now. With his releases on labels like bruchstuecke, perlon, klang elektronik, mental groove and the new label cadenza, he keeps releasing beatiful and original stuff within his very distinct style.
Review by Mista-Know-It-All Jan 28, 2003
Luciano's CD Live at Weetamix is, to me, one of the best suprises of the new millenium. Fresh & Sophisticated sounds, beats and vibes. Loads of Latin, Dub & Industrial influences.
Super-Nice Q-tip artwork on the cover. This CD is a must, check it out !
