We are glad to announce that this Saturday 21st September between 10 & 11pm CET we are going to stream the EXCLUSIVE ALBUM MIX by Luca Lozano [Klasse Recordings] Stay Tune for this amazing mix.
Press:
Luca Lozano is an illustrious musical figure capable of shining light into the night and
casting shadows on bright spaces. Also a renowned graphic and graffiti artist, his debut
solo album takes a broader, multifaceted approach; moving from slow to fast; textured to
simple; from dark to light; ‘Life In Black & White’ covers new terrain for the young producer
that maps his evolution and declassification.
Instrumentally adept, Lozano contributes piano, drums and guitar to his debut and
effortlessly juxtaposes an array of musical approaches throughout. Commencing with a
samplebased,
cut and scratch delivery akin to DJ Shadow, ‘Life In...’ swirls with the natural
rhythms of jazz (perhaps practised through his frequent collaborations with Portico
Quartet), the slender grooves of a soul train and the late night flow of the dancefloor, such
as in earlier released singles ‘Sail On’, featuring the vocals of Crosstown Rebels star
Amirali and ‘Need Nothing’, resulting in an audio enigma that continually unravels.
Background:
Since relocating from his London home and leaving outfit Zombie Disco Squad, Lozano
has been concentrating on developing his own solo material, his label Klasse Recordings
and their family of artists (Johannes Knutsson and Mr. Ho).
o+ Lozano also harbours a gift for graffiti and his love of various streetbased
art is apparent in
Klasse Recordings’ artwork and releases, many designed by Lozano (including the album
artwork). While in Barcelona for NYE 2012 an impromptu painting session collaboration between
with the worlds leading international spraypaint brand Montana and Klasse Recordings was
documented. Watch at http://vimeo.com/61581428
o+o Lozano’s diversity lends him to a colourful fan base from the likes of Eats Everything, Maya
Jane Coles to Wolf & Lamb. He has also been asked to remix artists as diverse as Portico
Quartet, Paolo Rocco & Turmspringer and Tim Green and has remixes due for Timo Maas later
this year.
LUCA LOZANO WORDS
“The title refers to my slightly left of centre placement in this world. Sometimes I am
unable to see the ‘middle ground’ and am obsessed with extremes. Everything is either
‘ON’ or ‘OFF, ‘YES’ or ‘NO’. Hence ‘BLACK’ and ‘WHITE’, there’s no grey area of
mediation and negotiation no
room for movement. Essentially it’s all about me being a
really awkward dude!”
