Like symbiosis, like the yin and yang, like your left and right hands, there is something both so free and passionate, yet also so technological, somewhat clinical, even precise and methodical about Luciano’s music which onlookers always suggest is a reaction to him moving from Switzerland to Santiago, Chile when he was about 11 or 12.
Or so says the press release for his new Fabric Mix out now. However you describe it there is no doubt that Luciano has risen up the ranks of international techno producers and DJs to become one of the most popular for 2008. Known for not doing many DJ mixes and concentrating on solely live performances, this mix you’re about to listen to is a bit of a coup as far as Radio Magnetic are concerned.
This is another mix that we’re sure will feature hi in the ‘Best Mix of 2008′ categories come the end of the year. Big up the Fabric massive for this one.
“My father used to fix juke boxes for a living so we had many, many records. A lot of disco, some French music, a lot of the hits, but the good hits! We had a lot of music at home, always. Neither of my parents were musicians but they loved music. My mother gave me a guitar when I was younger, that’s when I first started to get into music. She gave it to me when we first moved to Chile. I was by myself often because I didn’t know many people at the beginning.”
“My father is Swiss and my mother is Chilean. I moved from Switzerland to Santiago, Chile when I was about 11 or 12. Because my mother is Chilean, we already knew the language and we were a little bit used to the culture. Still, everything changed completely – the rules, everything. But the best time of my life was in Chile for sure; I’ve always felt like Chile’s my home. Chile’s really amazing, it’s a beautiful country. Guitar was a really good outlet so I was playing a lot at that time. In school, we had a band and I played in that. It was kind of like punk music, a little bit, and I was the backup singer and guitar player. I wasn’t really singing, more like shouting.”
– Luciano.
