Luminescu (aka Louis Kutarba) is a sophisticated electronic music project born in Montreal and influenced by the Musique Concrète and Romanian Minimal scene. Inspired by artists such as Ricardo Villalobos, Herck or Pierre Henry, his music is eclectic and borderless, having as a common denominator an energizing, psychedelic, and shamanic spirit. 
Music production also occupies a great place in this project. With more than twenty releases to his credit, he has been able to distinguish himself through several colourful remixes and V.A. (Minimadelic, Ambrosía, Solidó, Defora…), as well as through two original EPs on the labels Binaural Art (Romania) and Psicodelica (Colombia).
Accented with his best vinyls, Luminescu’s intricate set will take you into a spiral of infinite groove.

Luminescu for Advisual Records - Podcast 011

Under the dimmed moonlight, everything looked darker than expected. The heavy silence was punctured here and there by the steady breathing. Strange city sounds filled the atmosphere. Time had come to open up his soul to the darker sides of dancefloor. 
Introspections are coming back after a long hiatus, this time with Luminescu's take, built exclusively with his own productions. Enjoy it as much as we did!

Organic Minimal Sessions 020 - Luminescu

Luminescu (aka Louis Kutarba) est influencé par la scène Minimale Roumaine mais sa musique se veut éclectique et sans frontières.

Ayant eu l'occasion de s'exprimer à l'international ainsi que d’ouvrir pour des DJ de renom tels que Praslea, Triad, John Dimas, Ohm Ourani, Pheek..., Luminescu est maintenant basé à Montréal. 

Avec une vingtaine de productions sorties à son actif, il se démarque à travers plusieurs remixes et V.A. hauts en couleur (Minimadelic, Ambrosía, Solidó, Defora, etc.), ainsi que par trois EP originaux sur les labels Binaural Art (Roumanie), Psicodelica (Colombie) et Minimadelic Records (Canada).

Agrémentées de sélections secrètes et futuristes, découvrez ce nouveau Paracast à l'esprit psychédélique, chamanique et énergisant.

La Face B - Luminescu "Light Delight" Ep. 1 (2020.12.08)

Laying in an idle pit,
Composed by what is forbidden rather than what we permit. 
Stones walking through battlegrounds,
But some may break for what you did.

It's okay, it does flatten supposedly,
Next.
Real will be full, 
and deal will be plenty.

SS Mix Series - Vol. 14 w/ Luminescu

[Short biography]
Luminescu is an up-and-coming minimal DJ and producer based in Montreal. The origin of his moniker comes from the Latin root of his surname—meaning “Light”—with the characteristic Romanian suffix as a tribute to their illustrious writers and more recent rominimal wave. He shared line-ups with great inspirations like Alci, John Dimas, Praslea and Pheek, only to name a few. He recently signed two EPs on Psicodelica and Minimadelic Records, a single on Ambrosía Records and he’s now focusing on a psychoacoustics concept album.

A few words from Luminescu:

I was once asked to record a set as if it were my last on Earth. Without the claim to be the best—I imagined a selection full of love, good-natured, with knowing smiles and cries of joy. I imagined a setting where a few friends are dancing in the sand, under the shining sun, with a massive sound system and an unprecedented bonding and energy.
The set was crafted around tonal similarities and key to ensure an ever-ending story and a seamless narrative. Rominimal joints succeed one another with common characteristics: driving bass and rolling percussions, while the mood oscillates in between bouncing sunny tracks and progressive stellar atmospheres. Around half of the set, a vocal perfectly sums up the universal message I wanted to share: “All right y’all. And, by the way, you hear this morning that somebody loves you, somebody believes in you, and somebody needs you. And, somebody knows that you can do it, I know you can do it!”
The second half is marked by a short dub slowdown—a remix I made for my buddy Jack George (on Fratii.ro)—followed by a succession of powerful breaks and energetic tech tracks, including a tribute to the old school with an Underworld edit. The journey ends with a dreamy break beat piece, allowing for a smooth return to earth.
In the end, I imagined people dancing round in a circle while holding hands and sincerely hope you will feel the same!
