You know that old saying: A butthole is like a studio apartment, a pussy is like a topiary-garden maze. Oh, you aren’t familiar with it?  Well, it's an apt descriptor for the fourth mix in our series where DJ Lisa Frank guides us into the deepest recesses of the DS Sound Baths.  This mix is filled with plot twists and sharp left turns and an unexpected musique concréte element that will have your towels falling off.  Whatever position you’re in now, you’re going to be flipped upside down five minutes later.  Don’t try to guess the next move, just surrender.

Luca Marino
“Purveyor of deep, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.”

That’s how Luca describes himself as a DJ.  Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy.  Having grown up on on funk music (George Clinton, Morris Day), European electronica (Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream), synth-infused 80s music (Depeche Mode, Gary Numan)… all which became infused with his own love for both hip-hop and video game music, Luca ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence.  Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.

Luca loves playing in nightclubs, bars and special events plying strictly vinyl, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes. Since 2002 Luca has played in some of Australia’s biggest venues including residencies in Melbourne at the Lounge, The Laundry, Two Floors up, Room, CMoog (Byron Bay), Platinum (Gold Coast). Supported touring DJs including Aphrodite, Nick Warren.   

“For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove… playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. “
