The Uncharted Universe - Luijo

A year ago, I released my first Drum&Bass/Jungle mix for MixCult with some records I kept un-played since I started DJying. This subgenre was probably the most limited inside my collection because it’s not what I usually play in gigs. This shift inspired me to sit back and explore this kind of music for a whole year and make the best out of the pandemic lockdown. As months passed, I discovered more and more interesting tracks, in several formats such as vinyl, CD, cassettes, digital…which made me understand and appreciate even more how profound this music is, the quality one, of course.
.
.
I’ve always liked the mood it sets because it seems its suited to be a life soundtrack or ambient in some cases rather than dance music, and, as dance floors remain closed in most parts of the world, I believe this is the perfect time to share a series of sets I’ve recorded during the process.
.
Each Monday, every two weeks I will be releasing a mixed compilation by myself with those uncharted tracks that have passed the test of time, and that are the best of what I have incorporated to my collection. Your insights, comments, and critiques will be highly appreciated. I hope you fall in love with this music as I did myself. Welcome to The Uncharted Universe: World 01!!
.
.
This is for the ones who explore beyond.

The Uncharted Universe: World 02

The Uncharted Universe - World 02 - Luijo

One of the main drives I had for creating The Uncharted Universe series was the need of an adequate music repertoire for walking/running/hiking. Drum n Bass and Jungle are ideal for that; they keep a fine balance between the speed, mood and focus to do these activities. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts.

The Uncharted Universe - World 03

The Uncharted Universe - World 03 - Luijo

Most of the artists featured in this new episode of “The Uncharted Universe” already have a page in history.  Most of these tracks and sounds are inspired by the music listened by our grandfathers, interesting enough for us to notice the result which is this futuristic yet analogue inclined composition. During this time, this kind of music is under the radar, forgotten and underrepresented but it is for a fact that it has all the necessary elements to become a worldwide phenomenon once again. Here I present to you “The Uncharted Universe – World 04”. Have a listen and let me know your thoughts. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

The Uncharted Universe - World 04

The Uncharted Universe - World 04 - Luijo

“World 05” is actually the very first mix I recorded for the series “The Uncharted Universe”. In this path of rescuing these gems I found lots of compositions with numerous key changes and mood swings and decided to combine them with more contemporary, shorter loop-based and technically advanced tracks to create my own mélange of experimental jungle. This is my favorite mix of the whole series, so I encourage you deeply to give it a careful listen. Let me know your thoughts and comments on it. Have a nice week and big hugs to all!! 
.
.
.
Ps. For the gamers: there’s a track from “Chrono Trigger” which for me has the greatest soundtrack in a videogame ever composed.

The Uncharted Universe - World 05 - Luijo

I would like to acknowledge all the audiophiles and music enthusiasts that supported me with this experimental project since day one. I honestly never expected much support because the style of music is very unusual for the time we live in and for sure doesn’t belong to the popular trends that contemporary listeners tend to seek. Throughout the way I found many people that opened up to it and are now faithful travelers of the drum and bass/liquid jungle universe. This is the last episode of “The Uncharted Universe” or at least for this point time.
.
.
As my country remains in state of emergency and still keeps the longest curfew in the world up to this day, dance floors remain closed. It is a very uncertain and sad situation but I’ll patiently keep waiting for them to open, and for sure will be back with more determination than ever to play some proper dance inclined music. My collection of records is still full of un-played material that I would like to share with you. Let’s hope it’s soon. 
.
.
In my channels music will never stop. I invite you to follow up the next projects ahead. Stay tuned and big hugs to all!!!! Thank you!!!!

This sixth episode is for the blissful seekers of nirvana.

The Uncharted Universe - World 06

The Uncharted Universe - World 06 - Luijo

Luijo is a DJ and record curator based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He has been delivering less commercial forms of house and techno since 2002. Luijo is the emblematical Deep Techno and Dub Techno artist in his country. Currently, he performs worldwide.

He was the resident DJ of the now closed club “The Warehouse DR” the largest undeground house and techno venue in the Caribbean and home for more than 2000 dancers each weekend. 


The conceptual approach of his music concentrates on building atmospheres and creating plenty of space between sounds, constructing a very harmonious balance between sound and silence. He understands music and scenery as a whole. His insightful musical vision can drive from the most penetrating and perceptive deep techno sounds, to the warmest, soul touching house rhythms. The refined mysticism transmitted through his music is inspired from both visual and sensual aspects of nature. For him, music is the perfect linkage between the listener and his environments. He constructs a unique atmosphere that can be the perfect start off, as well as the peak time outbreak, envisioning a flawless combination between a core full of crispy dub sounds and smooth minimal touches around the edges. His powerful delivery of rare and elegant music is his well-known trademark.

Luijo passed through various styles of music since an early age, such as Classical, Jazz, Baroque, Rock and Heavy Metal, receiving guitar lessons accordingly. For several years, he studied music composition and gained acceptance to the National Conservatory of Music.

Collecting records, crate digging and learning about computer-based music became his prominent hobby. His record collection now holds more than a 3000 vinyl records, from house and techno to classical and piano solo.
In the years 2003-2004 he collaborated as a volunteer with 97.5 FM Radio “Sonido Tribal” which earlier evolved as Visionario Radio Show, with guest mixes featuring underground house and techno.

Luijo holds a residency at Mixcult, a Saint Petersburg based record label, radio channel and booking agency with a worldwide team of artists like: Kirill Matveev, Andrey Pushkarev, Anton Lanksi, Lola Palmer, Havantepe, Idealist, Vasili Borisov, Kammerton, Alex Humann, Captain Ulitka. It presents carefully selected Deep, Minimal, Dub Techno and House music on vinyl and digital. MixCult also serves as the parent label for “Spitzer Records”, an ambient/drone inclined subdivision with fresh experiments from artists from around the globe. He is also part of Sub.Spiele Records, a label from Cologne, Germany, that combines both aesthetics and deep music.

He has collaborated with several groups: Arcticgrooves, a non profit project that remains advertising free, by broadcasting sets online as well as live shows, Robotmusik, an international underground DJ collective and booking agency, Fuzion Mix Radio, Buenos Aires, an Argentinian based underground electronic music radio station, Modulate FM, London, another underground electronic music radio station, Dewtone Recordings, Canada, another deep and dub techno label that features artists from all around the globe, Deep Mix Bucharest in Romania, a radio station that features carefully selected DJ sets around Europe, Deeptakt Records, a German based label with selected dub techno music, Frisky Radio, a groundbreaking electronic music internet radio and DJ mix subscription service with the largest collection of exclusive, human-curated electronic music and Cyclic Records, owned by Mihai Popoviciu in Bucharest, Romania. 

In 2016 he joins the Northern Lights Tour by Andrey Pushkarev with some of the brightest stars of the electronic music including Dana Ruh, Varhat, Cab Drivers, Nima Gorji, tiNI, Mihai Popoviciu and many more. 

His touring has included cities like Santo Domingo, Miami, New York, Orlando, San Francisco, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Kyoto, Trakai, Barcelona and Madrid.
