About Luca Marchese

Luca Marchese is an Italian DJ and producer born in Caserta in 1992. His musical journey began at the age of eight, growing up surrounded by classical music and jazz influences through his father's passion for music. This early connection with melody and harmony shaped his artistic sensitivity before discovering DJing at thirteen and developing his passion for electronic music, inspired by artists such as Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer and Carl Cox. His first productions quickly gained attention from respected labels including Analytic Trail and Markantonio & Rino Cerrone's Loose Records, marking the beginning of a journey that would establish him within the international techno scene. In 2014, Gregor Tresher selected Luca to remix *Permafrost* for his German imprint Break New Soil. Shortly afterwards, he released *Agonia*, a track that gained significant recognition, particularly within the German techno scene. His international growth continued with releases such as *Equilibrium*, which reached No. 22 in Beatport's Top 100 Techno chart, and *Dancing*, a track that became one of the standout records of Awakenings Festival 2016, receiving support from artists including Maceo Plex and Richie Hawtin and becoming one of the most played techno tracks of the event. In 2017, Luca released *Transmit* on Christian Smith's Tronic, a production that quickly gained momentum across the international underground scene and was supported by Tale Of Us, Solomun and Meduza, who also played it at Tomorrowland. From that moment on, Luca's productions became a constant presence in the sets of leading artists and at major electronic music festivals worldwide. In 2018, Carl Cox selected Luca for a double release on his legendary Intec Digital label. The release received widespread international support and further strengthened his position within the global techno scene. In 2019, he returned to Octopus Recordings with *Megastructure*, a production that gained major attention through sets at Time Warp and Connect Festival, with Solomun selecting the track as the closing moment of one of his most important sets. Over the following years, Luca continued releasing music on some of the most influential techno labels, including Monika Kruse's Terminal M and Reinier Zonneveld's Filth on Acid. His catalogue has surpassed three million Spotify streams and achieved significant results on Beatport's international charts. Among his most representative productions, *Brainporting* stands as one of the defining moments of his career, reaching No. 8 in Beatport's Top 100 Techno chart and being championed by Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer and Eric Prydz, becoming a recurring feature in sets around the world. *Flashlights* has also become a milestone release, surpassing two million streams and reaching No. 11 in Beatport's Top 100 Techno chart. Luca Marchese's sound is built around the balance between techno energy and cinematic tension. Powerful grooves, evolving arrangements and distinctive cinematic breakdowns create a unique atmosphere, combining emotional depth with dancefloor intensity. Through his productions and the continuous support of leading artists worldwide, Luca has established himself as one of Italy's most respected techno producers on the international scene.
