Faz is balancing on the boarders between Dub techno, Detroit, Jazz and Disco. Tight mixing and contagious rhythms spiced with some Funk is what makes this DJ one to keep an eye on. The DJ-mix Sauna Session vol. 1 is a crusade though the deep swamps of Dub and Detroit Techno.
At the Beatfreax headquarter summer is kicking in; sun, beachparties, flipflops, yihaa!!! Starting this week we’ll be previewing the coming festival season with our infamous annual festival guide!
Zoals elk jaar sluit TodaysArt het festivalseizoen af met een passende climax door meer dan 200 artiesten vanuit alle hoeken van de wereld naar het centrum van de hofstad te halen voor een weekend van unieke artistieke showcases.
Born in 1978, Lucien Nicolet AKA 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 holds a residency at the Weetamix club. His releases also appear on the Transmat, Perlon, Klang Elektronik, Lo-Fi Stereo, Cadenza & Bruchstuecke 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. He’s also known to rock dancefloors with Carabina 30/30's knee-raising techno fest in the company of Martin Schopf AKA Dandy Jack.
At Montreal's 2003 Mutek festival, Luciano joined in the Narod Niki allstar jam of Richie Hawtin, Dan Bell, Akufen, Ricardo Villalobos, Dandy Jack & Cabanne. Recent collaborations turned into underground hits, like the « Alpine rocket » Perlon release with Mathew Jonson and the « Orange mistake » 12" with Quenum on Cadenza Records.
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 Japan, South Africa, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Canada, the U.S., Spain, Germany, Sweden & Switzerland. DJ-wise, Luciano’s trade relies on groovy & minimal dancefloor techno and house. His releases top recommendation lists of noted European music journals such as de:Bug and Groove on a regular basis.
