Mixes / Podcasts

Luz and Jacopo have been playing together and sharing their own musical background since they met, early 2012, in Berlin. Both open-minded artists, their style has deep roots into Detroit Techno & Chicago House and has expanded through the years to a wider range of musical genres. Alternating always one record each, the duo build up an intimate feeling with the audience and deliver interesting exchanges between old and new grooves: a melodic journey driven by restless rhythms for adventurous ears.

Their « Early Intuition « mix shows the same energetic feeling they would deliver during a club set, and includes tracks from some of their favorite producers. Most of them are definitely emblems of the current New Jersey sound, artists like Joey Anderson, Dj Qu and Nicuri.

Our ‘Streaming From Isolation’ series is fundraising for The Global FoodBanking Network - whose work providing emergency support to people locked in poverty is crucial at this time.

As part of the series, our long standing partner Ballantine's has committed a fund in the form of 20 grants to be distributed to community-driven collectives around the world. These grants will be given to each collective to distribute as they feel best to support under threat artists and those most in need within their immediate community. This support is critical over the coming months whilst COVID-19 restrictions are in place and impacting many artists’ ability to do what they love and to make a living.

Weekly takeover days of Boiler Room’s channels will feature performances and sets programmed by these collectives from isolation. Broadcast to the world from artists’ homes and private spaces, these transmissions are a way to stay connected while apart.

luz (they / them) is a neuroqueer DJ, curator, community organizer and nightlife disruptor. Co-founder of Berlin-based queer collective Room 4 Resistance, they’re also a member of Ecology of Care and Unsound’s Mutual Respect team. 

Their practice of nightlife is deeply anchored in queer feminist spaces, grassroots organizing, community care and harm reduction. As a DJ, their ever-evolving sound is at the crossroads of different styles and influences: bass, breaks, experimental, leftfield, D’n’B, deep techno, electro, IDM and more. They enjoy building narratives across genres and eras that resonate with their present moods and feelings. Their favorite dancefloors are intimate, sweaty, healing, filled with queer joy, cute weirdos and misfits from all paths of life.

Over the years, luz has performed at countless international venues and festivals, highlights include Panorama Bar and Tresor (Berlin), De School (Amsterdam), Et Andet Sted (Copenhagen), Hot Mass (Pittsburgh), Movement’s Industry Brunch (Detroit), La Station Gare Des mines (Paris), and more recently 5 Miles (London) as well as festivals such as Nyege Nyege (Uganda), Unsound (Poland) and Horst (Belgium).
