Mix 007 was recorded live at a pool party in Glendale, CA. I pressed the record button about an hour into the mix, so I apologize for it starting halfway through a track. The recording also cut off at hour 3, but there’s plenty of magic in between :] 

This mix is dedicated to my dearest cousin, Anita. If it wasn’t for Anita, I don’t know if my taste in electronic music would evolve as much as it has. She introduced me to so many new friends, parties, DJ’s. For the last 6 years, she’s put me on a list here, a list there, a list next weekend and the weekend after that. My cousin introduced me to the “scene” - and for that I am forever grateful. 

Exquisite music taste, the most tasteful style, Anita is and attracts the finer things in life. There’s no time for bad music, parties, sound, vibe, people… Anita is smart in her tasteful decision making. If she likes a DJ, that means they’re fucking good. We ain’t got time for bad music. 

I can feel my cousin feel my emotions when I’m playing music. She’s my blood. She feels the butterflies in my tummy, the excitement and obsession for finding fresh music, the passion and love for quality tunes, she feels all those things with me. Music is what brought our relationship closer, and our unconditional love for it melts into our unconditional love for each other.. like a perfect, melty transition. 

Here’s mix 007. I think I spun for a total of 9 hours straight… this was about an eighth of the way into the day, where I try to keep the day time vibes boosted. If I gain the trust of the dancers from the beginning, then I’m free to do whatever I want in the later hours. All these experiences are really making and forming me into such a confident DJ. I feel like I can mix anything with anything. Sometimes my fingers feel like a higher power is taking control. Everything blends so seamlessly. The attention and passion I put into those knobs and faders pump through the speakers. As fast and as much as I’m learning, I will always approach this art with a humble attitude, hunger to learn more, and    excitement for every single opportunity. 

My cousin talks to me on a daily basis. She knows the process and amount of homework I put into this craft. Tracks don’t get put into my playlists easy. The ratio is about listening to a 100 bad tracks to find that 1 really good one. So one thing I’ve learned from my cousin Anita, always pick the finer things in life. Put in your work, set a standard, and don’t settle for mediocre. Thank you cuz, I love you. 

And to everyone that presses play, I love you too. Enjoy ❤️🍄

HUMP welcomes @onlyluca

The Italian born ‘Only LUCA’ has travelled parts of the country creating symbolic connections representing a well defined & varied style within the last 7years of his Dj tenure.  

As a trained drummer the man has a real ear for organic sounding rhythms and baselines, which are clearly expressed through the silky smooth mixing of genres, across downtempo, organic and tribal house.

Let’s leave it there as we collect stories for the rest of the week as we get to know a little more of Only Luca.

Happy HUMP Day x

We’re beyond happy to continue our series at Deep House Barcelona with @Lion_Heart - an incredible artist from Finland, currently living in Tulum, Mexico. We discovered LionHeart, on his real name Lasse Larkovuo, a few years back and completely felt amazed by his unique way of storytelling through music and hoped he would be part of our project ever since. LionHeart brings a deep dimension of sound with smooth grooves, lush breaks and dreamy vocals, seducing you to either dance or meditate. His spiritual nature is his core as a person - a true LionHeart indeed, spreading love, awareness and inviting you to be part of a musical dialogue, inspired by the planet's surroundings and the dance floor. Having much experience playing for crowds throughout the world at the festivals Colors of Love, Hedone and Restaura Experience, he understands how to develop a moving experience and a profound journey for the listeners. We hope you enjoy this exquisite session he masterfully recorded for us, and we invite you also to find out more about LionHeart, in his own and genuine words:

"I’ve been a passionate collector of all types of music for over 20 years and as a DJ creating journeys whether it be ambient or for the dance floor, music has always been my favorite form of meditation and release. Music is also the fuel for my creative process as a fashion designer for my sustainable, natural clothing brand VALO Design (www.valodesign.fi). Combining elements that may initially seem very different from each other into a vibrational  harmony, happens in both arts. There is a great challenge and satisfaction in creating something new and interesting from separate pieces, as much with songs as fabrics and patterns. Both are challenging fields to stand out and offer something unique! 

I always try to recreate my music offering into something new, surprising and interesting. These days I too rarely find DJ mixes or sets in clubs or festivals that offer something with an unusual twist and with a bit of surprise. So I’ve become a big fan of mixing beyond genres or tempos and try to be outside of the safe zone with how I play. This is why I also enjoy playing unconventional dancefloors, especially for the collectives I am a resident artist for, Colors of Love, Hedone and Restaura Experience. All these unique communities offer both artists and all participants the space to express without traditional boundaries and preconceptions. 

About the mix: This mix expresses some of the waves of emotions I’ve been going thru in my personal journey the past years, a bit of deep and mysterious, something hypnotic, something playful and dreamy…finishing with feelings of hope and harmony. A lot of airy grooves with breaky basslines! It was a big pleasure to put this one together :)

I hope you enjoy!

Love and blessings,

Lasse"

Deep House Barcelona

LionHeart - Deep House Barcelona Mix #013

“The Last Amen” is an experimental techno album born from the chaos of war and the silence that follows. It’s a search for peace amid the noise — a reflection on humanity’s endless struggle between creation and destruction. Let your mind move with the rhythm, not to escape, but to resist.

Diplomatic Noise

Two reflections of the same eternal pulse. The invisible law where chaos gives rise to order and silence hides the infinite sound. A spiral within a spiral: logic burns, divinity calculates, consciousness is reflected. A coin, endlessly spinning between emptiness and the divine.

Hidden Frequency

Melodic progressive tune on the slow side
