DJ T. @ Omen, Frankfurt (09.10.98)

This old unreleased set I found on my computer and it is from Summer 2012. I recorded it for a booking on the last Kazantip Party 2012 in Krim Ukraine. I became the Visa to play a set there but he flight costs was to high for me. So I stayed at home and I was angry:)

Enjoy my classic set and if you want make some comments here:)

Daft Lucario is a Mexican/American DJ trio from New Jersey, USA & Oaxaca, MX made of American brothers, Sam & Tyler Orlick (better known as Samwell and Tydal/MultimediaLucario) as the American frontmen, and Mexican producer, Will Bautista as the Mexican frontman and producer. 

Originally a duo, At age 2 in 2005, the two brothers watched the movie, "Madagascar", which heavily featured the song, "I Like To Move It" by Reel 2 Real & The Mad Stuntman, which was the very first Electronic Dance Music track they had ever listened to. 

Many years later, at age 12 in 2015, They started listening to songs such as "One More Time," by Daft Punk which was the song that grew the brother's love for electronic music as a whole.

1 year later, At age 13, on February 16, 2016, Daft Lucario officially started to join the dance music game when they were in music class in middle school. However, because they had some technical difficulties with their sound, they originally ceased operations from 2017 until late 2018 when they were inspired by their best friend, @ZannyDuko to restart their career.

They're signed with their label Spectrum Music (a neurodiverse talent-focused dance music label/joint venture of Sam Orlick's company, "Universonality Media & Entertainment, LLC" and "Alamo Records", an imprint of Sony Music Entertainment). Right now, Daft Lucario is rising in the dance music game, improving their sound over time. They're Inspired by bigger artists like Alan Walker, NWYR, Avicii, Martin Garrix, Olly James, Daft Punk, Zanny Duko, SaberZ, W&W, Jeffrey Sutorius, Dash Berlin, KEVU, and Armin Van Buuren. One of their biggest dreams is to perform mainstage at Ultra Music Festival, EDC (Las Vegas, Mexico & Korea), Tomorrowland, Coachella, HYPERGLOW, A State Of Trance, ADE, and more. They specialize in the Mainstage Trance and Mainstage Techno subgenres of the electronic music scene.

On April 11, 2021, Daft Lucario announced that @wil-bau joined the group as Daft Lucario's producer and third member, making the duo into a trio. 

On November 1, 2021, Daft Lucario's frontmen, Sam & Tyler Orlick launched their side project / joint venture with American DJ-producer @zannyduko consisting of the Progressive Mainstage Trance (a subgenre popularized by @dashberlin) called, @dashwolfofficial. Daft Lucario is still continuing alongside Dash Wolf to this day.

On October 11, 2023, Daft Lucario did their very first public show & closing set at the "Beats Bartenders & Brushes" Open Deck Night, organized by Hoboken-based DJ group & booking agency, @Get-Down-DJ-Group marking a new era for the group. They would be a direct support act for Philadelphia-based DJ, Nico Oso during that same event 9 months later on June 11, 2024.

On July 5, 2024, Daft Lucario & Zanny Duko made their festival debut at HYPERGLOW Asbury Park at House of Independents where they played a sold-out show to 500 people which is HOI's maximum occupancy. They hope to perform again for the 2025/2026 edition of the festival.

In December 2024, Daft Lucario spun off their open format/house side into a new project called @MasterTwinsOfficial in an effort to distinguish their projects from each other. Their American frontman, Sam has also recently delved into the voice acting industry for animated characters with him auditioning for a total of 6 roles in indie animation company, Studio Zubio's upcoming series, "Bunderkin". From that audition experience, Sam met voice actors Damian Ryan & John Cav who later cast him as a recurring character named DJ Heard Ya (as well as various other characters) in the upcoming indie adult-animated cop comedy series, "Hard Evidence", the pilot episode of which is slated to release sometime in 2026. He also voices 2 characters in the upcoming indie project, "Apple Crush" as Beau & Dexter which is currently in development.

On May 19, 2025, Daft Lucario signed onto a partnership with Chilean management company and talent agency, Instinct Management for festival bookings as well as Amaru Events for club bookings.

Reports are also stating that Daft Lucario & Zanny Duko are rumored to play at Miami Music Week as a direct support B2B act for @SurfingDJs and possibly Ultra Music Festival in 2026 marking yet another new milestone in the careers of both entities.

The future ahead is looking very bright. Whether it is under Samwell, Daft Lucario, or Dash Wolf, the music isn't stopping anytime soon.

Reker war über ein Jahrzehnt ein prägender Teil der deutschen Technoszene. Als DJ, Eventmanager und Musikjournalist setzte er von 2010 bis 2020 kreative Impulse und gestaltete die Szene sowohl vor als auch hinter den Kulissen aktiv mit.

Seine redaktionelle Tätigkeit für das FAZEmag, eines der führenden Magazine für elektronische Musik in Deutschland, umfasste zahlreiche Musikrezensionen und Beiträge. Parallel dazu baute Reker die Techno-Community „Techno ist mit ohne Singen“ auf – eine der größten ihrer Art auf Facebook – und produzierte eigene Formate wie die T.I.M.O.S. Podcasts, mit denen er neue Künstler und frische Sounds präsentierte.

Als Eventorganisator und Booker war Reker für mehrere etablierte Clubs tätig, darunter das Kabelwerk in Mönchengladbach, der Butan Club in Wuppertal sowie der Tresor West Club in Dortmund. Dort verantwortete er unter anderem die Veranstaltungsreihe New Faces aus Berlin und organisierte die offizielle Mayday Afterhour 2020, eines seiner letzten großen Projekte vor der Pandemie.

Der Gewinn des FAZEmag DJ Contests im Jahr 2014 markierte einen wichtigen Meilenstein in seiner Karriere. Als Resident-DJ im Butan Club spielte er regelmäßig an der Seite namhafter Acts und überzeugte mit energetischen Sets. Festivalauftritte bei Nature One und Ruhr-in-Love sowie internationale Bookings in Wien, der Tschechischen Republik und auf Mauritius folgten.

Sein Studio, das er bis 2020 in Düsseldorf betrieb, war kreativer Mittelpunkt seiner Arbeit. Dort entstanden unter anderem inoffizielle Bootlegs wie sein gefeierter Rework von Bjarkis „I Wanna Go Bang“ (2018) und ein Re-Edit von „Your Mind“ (Adam Beyer & Bart Skils, 2019), die beide auf SoundCloud veröffentlicht wurden und für Aufmerksamkeit in der Szene sorgten.

Im Jahr 2020 beendete Reker seine Musikkarriere aus gesundheitlichen Gründen vollständig. Die Entscheidung fiel in einer Zeit großer Umbrüche – nicht nur persönlich, sondern auch global durch die Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie.

Trotz des Abschieds bleibt sein kreatives Schaffen ein fester Bestandteil der Technogeschichte – als Künstler, der nicht nur aufgelegt, sondern mit Leidenschaft gestaltet, vernetzt und inspiriert hat.

Owner of Deep Things Music

Singularidade, palavra que define o artista Thales Lima.

Fruto de uma árvore genealógica rica em musicalidade, se forma desde o nascimento em um berço da bossa nova, com laços no jazz, rock n’ roll, blues e outras vertentes que formaram a música dentro do seu alter ego.

O artista desde cedo é ativo dentro de uma cena mutável, na qual em sua região foi um dos ‘’reprogramadores’’ do movimento e-music.

Atípico como pessoa, o artista não consegue se separar disso, a singularidade na forma de viver passa para o palco um artista preparado pra estar fora da zona de conforto, fugindo dos padrões sonoros óbvios e atitude impar dentro do universo em que vivemos.
Sua maneira de mixar, produzir, ensinar, pensar e agir tornam do TL um artista único, recheado de vontade em transformar o momento de cada em um estado melhor, envolvendo-se com o groove e a inteligência musical que o cerca desde cedo.

Sua missão é ser fora do comum. Por não se fechar a uma ou duas ou tantas idéias, o uso do livre arbítrio o torna singular. Desde House & Techno, sonoridades old’schools a futuristas, passeando por mainfloors a ambientes lounges. O céu é o limite.

In today’s electronic music world there are not many artists who can lay claim to a legacy like that of DJ T. Born in Dusseldorf, DJ T. (aka Thomas Koch,) re-located to Frankfurt with his family in the late 70s. During his formative years, he fell for the hypnotic grooves of disco, inspired by his parents’ record collec-tion. At the age of nine he was already completely enraptured by music and that love affair continues until this very day. He began an obsessive quest to collect music, feeding his soul with everything from Disco and Hi-Nrg, through to early Hip-Hop and Electro, Soul, Funk and R’n’B. The groovy, infectious rhythms of all those genres continue to permeate into the music he makes and plays today, providing an intrinsic part of his sound ethic. 
He took up breakdancing, before becoming a DJ, playing at private parties ini-tially before landing his first professional gigs in the late eighties. This period proved to be a pivotal moment in his life as Acid House swept through Europe, landing in Frankfurt and taking over with the launch of Sven Väth’s legendary Omen club in 1988. The first wave of House and Techno took hold and T. was there at the forefront, absorbing all the fresh new sounds from Chicago, Detroit and the UK. He picked up a residency at the infamous Music Hall and held resi-dencies at countless clubs across the city during the next 10 years from Plastik and Dorian Gray to The Box. By the end of the nineties, he was one of Frank-furt’s best-known selectors. 
In 1989 DJ T. tapped into another side of his creative energy to set up Groove Magazine. Identifying a gap in the market and fuelled by a need to satisfy his own desire for specialised music journalism, which focused on his interests – namely underground dance music. Under his leadership the magazine was launched into the public’s consciousness and he guided Groove to become one of Europe’s premier dance music publications, which it still is today. 
DJ T.’s progression continued at a pace, as he launched his own club, Monza, using the experience gained through a decade of club events and tours under the Groove Magazine banner.
