PREMIERE: Protect & Mayan Cxllective - Self Luv(Sleepless In St. Pete Mix)

Meow Meow Sessions 02

Sultry low-end grooves from a rising house enchantress.

"What kind of music do I actually want to play?" Every artist asks themselves this at some point in their career. What is a sound? And why do we personally identify with it? For Lea Lang, AKA dj sweet6teen, this question is the guiding force behind her RA Mix.

Born in Aachen, a German spa city close to the border with Belgium, Lang found her musical feet in the vibrant student hub of Cologne. It was while studying social work at the Technische Hochschule that she fell into the nightlife scene. 

Finding her sound wasn't an instant process. Lang cut her teeth on breaks-heavy house and prog (think Angel D'Lite), traces of which you can hear peppered across RA.1004. But as she explains in this week's Q&A, the pandemic years were, musically, a turning point. 

"High BPMs and short-lived trends became very dominant and I realised I couldn't stand the pace anymore," she writes. "That's when my sound naturally shifted into something more minimalist and timeless."

Nowadays, you'll find Lang in Berlin during the week, and on weekends… well, take your pick. A busy touring schedule means she's on the road almost constantly —this summer she's debuted at Horst Arts & Music, Butik, Dimensions and Panorama Bar (to name just a few). 

And her RA Mix? It oozes charm from the jump. Buoyant with gyrating low-end, it's hard to think her sound was ever anything else: vocals twirl around analogue basslines, material à la Eddie Richards and Terry Francis's historic Wiggle parties, as well as the kind of bongo action that wouldn't feel out of place in an Apollonia session. Call it waft, wiggle, smooch house—whatever it is, we like it.

art:cast °189 | Lucho

With an ear sharpened between Santiago and Stamford, and a record bag that bridges the warmth of Chicago House with the heady pulse of New York’s underground, Lucho has steadily carved out his place among the new generation of producers threading soul into minimal grooves. Following releases on Decatur Records, Bliss, and Nug-Net, Lucho now joins Magic Carpet for the label’s upcoming Family Trip Disc 1, contributing the playfully titled cut “Uevajam” - a track born from spontaneous creativity and a nod to friendship, embodying the label’s communal spirit.

In parallel, Lucho has prepared a textured and deeply personal journey for Torture the Artist’s art:cast series, merging fresh finds with long-cherished selections that retrace his own evolution as a DJ and digger. Ahead of his Magic Carpet return, we caught up with the Connecticut-based artist to talk about his early days between Chile and the U.S., how the New York underground shaped his sound, and why sometimes the best jams happen when no one shows up.

Interview

art:cast °189 | Lucho

Selector Fredy. captured live, raw & uncut.
A set moving like a film.
A story of tension and release.

Dark, brooding tones give way to moments of warmth and groove, a battle between shadow and light. Eerie vocals drift through textured soundscapes, acid/electro influenced breaks collide with hypnotic moody house rhythms.

It's the sound of contrast. Good and evil finding rhythm together.

With a refined taste and relentless passion for digging, his sets are filled with rare and unexpected gems—crafted to move both mind and body.
