SPND20 Mixtape by Luca Lozano

New SPND20 Mixtape in the collection! Welcome @lucalozano Owner,
A+R, artist and designer at @Klasse Wrecks, Luca Lozano has long
operated where sound, visual language and attitude intersect. With
releases on his own label, Sex Tags UFO, Phantasy Sound,
Hypercolour, Running Back and beyond, plus his visual universe as
planetluke.com, his work has always resisted neat categories,
favoring character over convention. For this SPND20 Mixtape, Luca
looks back to formative years in Berlin. New Year’s nights at Arena
Berlin in 2004/05, musically the city was a melting pop of minimal,
tech house and electro. Genres were undefined and there was a
playfulness to the music, a wonky glacial cleanness to the funky
grooves. It was an exciting and uncynical time and things felt
undiscovered and exciting. It’s also where early connections with
FJAAK took shape: studio visits in Neukölln, laptops full of
sketches, ideas still embryonic. That spirit runs through the mix.
Luca revisits sounds and labels that once shaped him - acid lines,
playful grooves, found again in the neglected corners of his own
record bag. Woven into a journey that feels loose, curious and
alive. For those listening closely, the closing moments hold a
special nod to the shared history between FJAAK and Klasse Wrecks.
A mix rooted in memory, made for movement.
