Check out podcast no 225 by Rik Watts!

If you’ve seen Rik Watts perform in his hometown, or at other gigs throughout the Netherlands for sure you have been taken away with his warm deep solid sounds.

Via his DJ sets or his productions on labels like GEM records, Say What or Planet Rhythm records, he merges perspectives in his sense for sounds and underpinned with deep solid, soulful grooves inspired by the fact he was traveling all over the world working for the Dutch Navy at the early age of 17. Traveling all over the world got him in touch with so many different kind of cultures and styles of music which made him the artist who he is today. Taking his time to find his own style, made it his and still craving for more. He likes to bring something for those who love to dream as well for them who stay on the dancefloor all night.

This is Rik Watts, with his Dutch sober, ‘act normal than you act crazy enough’ mentality. Hard working and stay true to yourself but still loving to share his musical thoughts with others and most of all make them into an artistic reality. 

His love for music stems from hearing soul, funk and hip hop at home with some Indonesian culture provided by his girlfriend were it all falls down on being ‘senang’ (feeling good). Love for your family and find each other in food and being good to one and other.

This sense of family feeling is what he wants to share with others throughout his music so feel free to become a part of Rik’s family.

Some of the countries, places and venues where Rik Watts played at: 
Istanbul, Sint Maarten, Curaçao, India, Sisyphos Berlin, Die Kantine - Vienna, Salzburg.  Netherlands: Factory-010, Club Magistrat, Gelredome, Sugarfactory, ClubUp, Boothstock festival, Solar Weekend Festival, Duikboot, Jungle Fest, Panama and many others

LACCHESI IS A FRENCH ARTIST, PARISIAN-BASED, DJ, PRODUCER OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND LABEL OWNER.

From a young age, Lorenzo Lacchesi was immersed in music. Growing up surrounded by CDs—thanks to his parents working at Philips—he explored everything from rock to jazz and classical. As a teenager, he studied piano, played bass in various bands, and discovered electronic music at 15, drawn by the French Touch movement. After high school, Lorenzo pursued sound engineering, worked at Radio France, and co-founded his first techno label, Péché Mignon, with friends.

Becoming Lacchesi, his focus shifted to warehouse techno. His first major bookings came through the Parisian scene where he refined his industrial and rave-influenced sound. During this period, he teamed up with Jakob Saulière to launch his second label, Maison Close, a platform for emerging talent with an eclectic and hybrid musical vision. Lacchesi’s sound balances minimalist techno with trance, taking cues from artists like Regent, The Advent, Mathys Lenne, Rrose, Helena Hauff, Spekki Webu, W92. Known for his fast-paced, high-energy DJ sets, he crafts introspective journeys with jittery melodies, minimal grooves, and experimental elements. His productions, however, span a broader spectrum, from hard-hitting techno and uptempo beats to glitchy IDM and ambient soundscapes.

Lacchesi has released music on labels like Mama Told Ya, EXTRA ENERGY, Matière, BCCO, and Bipolar Disorder. His own label, Maison Close, has seen him release tracks on various compilations, as well as two LPs: P*NK (2021) and Based On A True Story (2024). He remains a prominent figure in the scene, consistently surrounded by close-knit circle of friends like Mac Declos, Kuss, and more recently, Vel. His standout remix of Baraka’s track «Half Faces» has racked up nearly 2M listens. This fall, 2024 marked a major milestone with his impactful debut at Boiler Room, further solidifying his presence in the scene. 

Fashionwise, Lacchesi’s Italian heritage shapes his fashion sense. His close relationship with the brand La Maskarade highlights his distinct style, showcasing bold and avant-garde designs that reflect his musical daringness and personal flair. 

Lacchesi’s love for loops and his relentless pursuit of harmony drive his high-octane, multigenre sets. Known for creating intense, rollercoaster-like journeys, he builds tension to the point where the body can’t take it anymore, only to offer a full, euphoric release. His performances are wild and fiery, embodying his Mediterranean energy, Italian temperament, and playful humor. Curious about everything—people, sounds, and experiences—he brings an infectious energy to the club, leaving the dance floor in a frenzy. Lacchesi thrives on resilience, laughter, and sweat, always pushing the limits to deliver unforgettable moments.
