As the third release from my new label LMLTD, I present "Dilemma," a mini-album of five tracks I've been keeping to myself for several months, which I've now revised and "updated" to what I call "my current sound" (though it's constantly evolving). Many thanks to Richie Hawtin for testing them out at various events around the world recently. They seem to be great for the liveliest dance floors: Hard enough, raw, and fast (all five tracks play at 140 BPM), but that doesn't mean they don't include my hypnotic side. Regardless of how "danceable" a track may be, and even though Techno is often mistakenly considered a type of "dance music", I strongly believe that every production must convey a mood, creating an evocative atmosphere. I do believe I did it this time too!

Electronic music artist and @mindgamesrec founder.

Luca Maniaci is a young artist from Palermo (Italy), born in 1990 in a small town near the Sicilian sea. Thanks to his mother, Luca grew up listening to quality music of various genres. It was during his adolescence that he discovered electronic music and started DJing, producing and releasing music, even on well established record labels. Over the years, his music has been played and supported by dozens of well known DJs of the electronic music scene. Luca is a very eclectic artist, year after year he produced different styles of electronic music, until he found his path in techno music, but he has a 360° musical culture: Apart from many different electronic music genres, he loves 60/70s Psychedelic Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical music, Old School Rap and Hip Hop and so on. The older, the better! Luca is a huge fan of Pink Floyd and The Doors, just to name a few. In 2017 Luca launched his own record label Mind Games Recordings, where he releases his own music alongside well known names from the scene as well as new undiscovered talents that fit with Luca's concept of techno music. Over the years, Luca has also released his music on esteemed labels such as Ovum Recordings (for which he also remixed the legendary Josh Wink), Planet Rhythm, FLASH Recordings and several others. In the summer of 2025 he started his new label Luca Maniaci LTD, where he releases only and exclusively his own music, collaborations or remixes. As of 2025, Luca has more than a decade of musical productions behind him.
