Not un-humorously hailing from the small Tuscan town of Lucca in Italy, as one of the foremost proponents of the seminal swing sound coming from the peninsula and abroad, Luca Bacchetti can be considered a true citizen of the world. His web pages and logs reveal the attentive sensitivity towards the many places he has visited and invariably he brings these experiences to life in his music. Currently residing in Barcelona, HQ of his own label ENDLESS, the DJ, producer makes swift business of spreading his signature twists and musical turns through myriad productions and remixes released on labels such as Ovum Recordings, Crosstown Rebels, Wagon Repair, Culprit, Saved, Be As One, Defected, Hideout, Sci+Tec and Supernature. Additionally, he’s accrued a host of accolades including a nod for Beatport as best artist in 2008 that confirms Luca’s status as an industry leader. As a DJ, Bacchetti’s style is incomparable, showcasing his unique ear for selection and a rare ‘voice’ to which he adds a sexiness uncommon amongst his peers. Equally versed at moving a dark basement club to fits of revelry as he is to casting a deep shadow across a sunny beach party, the breadth and depth of sources from which Luca culls his sets astounds constantly. It is this duality of emotion that interests the DJ and inspires the work on many releases. The contrasting shades of Luca’s sound have not been lost on the world’s clubbing masses. Worldwide venues like Womb, Fabric, Circoloco DC10, Cielo, Panorama Bar, Arma 17, La Huaka, D-Edge, Pacha BA have hosted the DJ to untempered excitement and have been converted to the light of the darker and brighter sides of his sound.
