Berlin-based producer and DJ Lars Huismann has been carving out his own sonic niche within the techno landscape since 2011. Early explorations on his own LHR imprint laid the foundation for a sound deeply rooted in dub techno influences, blending old-school aesthetics of early 2000s styles with modern production techniques. This approach crystallized in his celebrated “Sounds From The Past” trilogy on Mutual Rytm.Throughout subsequent releases like “Catharsis,” (Mutual Rytm) Huismann continued to evolve, drawing on harder, darker sonic palettes without losing his characteristic depth and complexity. 

In his latest offering, the “Mechanized” EP (Monnom Black), Huismann fully embraces the often-overlooked realm of Tribal Techno, establishing it as a dynamic link between various strands of the genre and its darker territories. While Hardgroove has seen a notable resurgence and garnered renewed attention, Huismann’s intent here is not to align himself as a Hardgroove producer. Instead, he draws from Tribal Techno’s storied past—from Jeff Mills’ Purpose Maker series to Oliver Ho’s groundbreaking experiments—breathing new life into its legacy. With fierce 909-driven percussion, syncopated hand drums, and that late-’90s tension-building interplay of rides and claps, Huismann provshows es he can channel tradition without tethering himself to a single sub-style, guiding listeners towards a future informed by, but never confined to, the past.

“Mechanized” EP evoking a classic feel while injecting novel ideas into the mix. Just as “Sounds From The Past” reintroduced and recontextualized early-2000s tropes, “Mechanized” nods to the past while pushing forward. Each track—take “Dominion” with its filtered echoes, or “Orbital” with its hypnotising, resonant synth lines—hides an innovative twist amid the familiar rhythmic bedrock. Huismann employs these well-worn frameworks not as a nostalgic crutch, but as a means to slip in new sonic ideas under the listener’s radar, ultimately evolving the culture rather than merely replicating it.

It’s a ride through high-intensity club moments, featuring unreleased gems from artists I admire, alongside some of my own productions. Raw, driving, and built for movement, this one’s for the floor".

"With this mix I wanted to bring quintessential Lacchesi, so you know who I am: minimal grooves as a base, multi-genres in the body, layers of melodies and textures to keep the energy shifting, and a balance between tension and release"

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.
