Lukas Widell

Lukas Widell is first of all an art director and a graphic designer in a historical design-agency in Verona. He's been using computers (macs) since the first ones came out in the early 80's. Side by side with his passion for art and design, which also includes sculpting and painting, he has always been into djing and electronic music, at least since ten years, during which he has been playing in many clubs and at many private parties where good music was considered as of main importance.
This year he's definitely trying to convert his great passion for music into something real, that hopefully means some releases on some great labels that are waiting for his productions. In the closet there's also a personal label (www.rekode.it) project which is near to its birth.
He's mostly on minimal-techno lately but he’s been into many genres in the past, ranging from electro to trip-hop, from house to techno, to lounge not to mention some hip-hop flavoured tracks with lyrics.
Since its opening, nearly two years ago, he's the official dj at the Byblos Art Gallery in Verona - Italy where he's offering contemporary music for contemporary art at every exhibition's opening party.

Title: Fairy

Cat: MP 004D

Fairy is mostly a monster-sized club track. Fairy is also where Gianluca Pighi teams up with Alex Mastini to deliver the goods once again.
Gianluca and Alex are both praised dj's-producers in their own rights. If Pighi is fierce and proud when he's got to spin his beloved deep-house tracks, Mastini is more of a "technohead".
To come up with something unique the guys have tried to transcend their own fields and create a dubby electro-house track that will surely rock the place wherever some dj will play it.
Gianluca Pighi's Wasabo is currently in heavy rotation on Radio Montecarlo. The man has already worked with the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Towa Tei and Robert Owens an played in London for an exclusive Push Fm mix. His cuts, often crossing the borders of both deep-house and wall-to-wall jazz-funk, are sought after by those in the knowledge. One of his most celebrated tracks is called Trumpeetha.Alex Mastini is a son of Detroit. His faith lies in those basslines, those seminal sounds. Alex likes to face the future, though. His nights at Tenax (Florence), Ghetto (London) and Magazzini Generali (Milano) have put the guy on the club-map, highlighting his mixing
and producing skills. His Milk Plus label was born "to enlighten the italian underground". With some techno beats, of course.

Review website

 

Artist: Alex Mastini - Kimix - f-Unix - Phil Dj

Title: Ep one

Cat: MP 003

 

Two tracks where Alex Mastini expresses all his passion for Detroit music, with unmistakable influences from UR, Dj Rolando, Carl Craig, Octave One…
Obsessive, energetic, glacial, incessant but at the same time wrapping, a dry and consistent sound.
Take the blue bus: an obsessive and elegant synth that drive all the song over a bassline carpet. 8 minuts of mental trip!
Insane children: obsessive voice’s sample and melody, groovy bassline, violin’s rif that perplexes the songs increasing, reverse drum – it never stops – A breaking dancefloor!
Big Black Train: bass in the front line, rhythmic sounds that born and wreathe all along the song, a piano played live in this track for minimal sets.
