Not unhumorously hailing from the small Tuscan town of Lucca, Luca Bacchetti is one of the foremost proponents of the seminal swing sound coming from the peninsula and abroad. Currently residing in Barcelona, the DJ, producer and co- label head makes swift business of spreading his signature twists and musical turns through myriad productions and remixes released on Ovum Recordings, Crosstown Rebels, Wagon Repair, Be As One, Defected, Supernature, Sci+Tec, Tenax, Safari Electronique and Hideout. Additionally, he’s accrued a host of accolades including a nod for Beatport’s 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 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, Watergate, Arma 17, La Huaka have hosted the DJ to untempered excitement and have been converted to the light of the darker and brighter sides of his sound….

At 21 years of age, Mat Zo is living the dream – part of a new breed of precocious, unrestricted DJ/producers that are making big noises without the one-dimensional genre blinkers of old. In the last 12 months alone, the London based producer has seen his boundary-blurring productions like “Superman”, “Rebound” (with Arty) and “Frequency Flyer” dominate the Beatport charts.

3.3 We Are Your Friends

Date: Saturday 3.3.2012

Entrance: Free

Venue: mBar

Line-up:
Oded Peled (Misc / Basso / Love)
Pinball (Music People / Top Billin)
Sebas (Visions)

We Are Your Friends hits it where it feels best. The soul. This month Oded Peled has invited an old school player and a future old school master. Flipperi is known all over the globe through his Top Billin and Nightrunners labels and his Music People show on Basso. For those who know him a bit better, he is known as a true musicoholic and an incredible friend.

The second guest is Sebas from the hot Visions collective, who have together brought quality techno sounds to Helsinki underground venues for the past couple of years. Purists are great, but only if they have a good ear for music and an open mind. Which pretty much means that they are not purists.

All in all, look out for a night full of music from the heart into your body, mind and soul. Because We Are Your Friends!
