"With this mix I wanted to bring quintessential Lacchesi, so you know who I am: minimal grooves as a base, multi-genres in the body, layers of melodies and textures to keep the energy shifting, and a balance between tension and release"

LACCHESI IS A FRENCH ARTIST, PARISIAN-BASED, DJ, PRODUCER OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND LABEL OWNER.

From a young age, Lorenzo Lacchesi was immersed in music. Growing up surrounded by CDs—thanks to his parents working at Philips—he explored everything from rock to jazz and classical. As a teenager, he studied piano, played bass in various bands, and discovered electronic music at 15, drawn by the French Touch movement. After high school, Lorenzo pursued sound engineering, worked at Radio France, and co-founded his first techno label, Péché Mignon, with friends.

Becoming Lacchesi, his focus shifted to warehouse techno. His first major bookings came through the Parisian scene where he refined his industrial and rave-influenced sound. During this period, he teamed up with Jakob Saulière to launch his second label, Maison Close, a platform for emerging talent with an eclectic and hybrid musical vision. Lacchesi’s sound balances minimalist techno with trance, taking cues from artists like Regent, The Advent, Mathys Lenne, Rrose, Helena Hauff, Spekki Webu, W92. Known for his fast-paced, high-energy DJ sets, he crafts introspective journeys with jittery melodies, minimal grooves, and experimental elements. His productions, however, span a broader spectrum, from hard-hitting techno and uptempo beats to glitchy IDM and ambient soundscapes.

Lacchesi has released music on labels like Mama Told Ya, EXTRA ENERGY, Matière, BCCO, and Bipolar Disorder. His own label, Maison Close, has seen him release tracks on various compilations, as well as two LPs: P*NK (2021) and Based On A True Story (2024). He remains a prominent figure in the scene, consistently surrounded by close-knit circle of friends like Mac Declos, Kuss, and more recently, Vel. His standout remix of Baraka’s track «Half Faces» has racked up nearly 2M listens. This fall, 2024 marked a major milestone with his impactful debut at Boiler Room, further solidifying his presence in the scene. 

Fashionwise, Lacchesi’s Italian heritage shapes his fashion sense. His close relationship with the brand La Maskarade highlights his distinct style, showcasing bold and avant-garde designs that reflect his musical daringness and personal flair. 

Lacchesi’s love for loops and his relentless pursuit of harmony drive his high-octane, multigenre sets. Known for creating intense, rollercoaster-like journeys, he builds tension to the point where the body can’t take it anymore, only to offer a full, euphoric release. His performances are wild and fiery, embodying his Mediterranean energy, Italian temperament, and playful humor. Curious about everything—people, sounds, and experiences—he brings an infectious energy to the club, leaving the dance floor in a frenzy. Lacchesi thrives on resilience, laughter, and sweat, always pushing the limits to deliver unforgettable moments.

MAUER (@mauerdj) – DJ, music producer, and the creative force behind SENSOR Records (@sensorrecords). He began his musical journey as a music producer, composer, and songwriter. From an early age, he explored a wide range of musical styles, but it was the pulsating allure of techno that ultimately captured his heart.
MAUER’s passion for techno was born during his first pilgrimage to the legendary Berghain many years ago. In each of his sets, one can hear echoes of Berlin’s electrifying club culture.
MAUER’s selection is defined by atmospheric, hypnotic melodies that draw the listener into a deep musical trance. This is complemented by a distinct, pulsating bassline that gives his sets energy and a solid rhythmic foundation.

MAURER is the 452nd guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

This mix captures the essence of MAURER’s sound — a vision of techno built on percussive drive and fluid motion, shifting between hypnotic cuts and melodic contrasts. Layered with textures, twisted synths and pulsating sequences, the set unfolds as an energetic journey crafted for the dancefloor yet rich in detail for deep listeners.

At its core, it’s about balance: the tension of hypnotic repetition against the release of melody, the raw pulse of percussion intertwined with moments of introspection. A narrative where every track contributes to a story of motion, intensity and connection with the underground.
