They say you can’t keep a good man down. Similarly you can’t keep a talented producer down, nor can you keep him in a box. A figurative box that is. Italian producer an DJ Santos astounds year after year with his diverse and consistently inspiring productions, showing that if you’ve got the raw talent, you can indeed be a jack of all trades and master of all of them too. He’s one of those people whose creativity seems to know no bounds and needs to be indulged constantly. His quirky 2000 breakthrough track Camels remains an unforgettable and unique classic, and in the years that have passed since then he’s released three acclaimed solo artist albums and the huge anthem Hold Home in 2009. To date?, he’s released some 400 under a myriad of aliases (such as Maskio, Class 71, Smoke Maschine, Peter Katafalk, Bellone and Sohante), and he is executive producer for the likes of Timo Maas, Mutant Clan and Los Veteranos plus co-producer for the likes of Alex Dolby, Giorgio Roma and Trouble Soup (with Madox - now better known as Riva Starr). He’s graced the legendary Annie Nightingale’s show on Radio 1, played at Japan’s massive Fuji Rock Festival straight after the legendary Chemical Brothers, picked up remix credits for the likes of Fatboy Slim and Armand Van Helden. All this plus a co-production for a little lady called Madonna in 2008 (on a new version of her classic Like A Prayer on her Sweet & Sticky Tour). And that’s just scraping the surface. Continually evolving and refusing to stick to genre expectations and regulations, you can never predict where he’s going to crop up next - or indeed how he’s going to sound. Recent times have seen him focus once again on the house and techno formats, but creating something fresh therein on each occasion. He’s graced the likes of Nic Fanciulli’s Saved, John Digweed’s Bedrock, Matthias Tanzmann’s Moon Harbour (santos " hold home" timeless track), Get Physical, Figures, VIVa, Crosstown Rebels, Germany’s Great Stuff and many more, bringing nothing but straight heat each time to these timeless and cutting-edge labels. It’s undeniable: you play one of his records in a club, you see the reaction. He’s an expert technician of innovative dancefloor bombs. “Pictures come into my mind” he says of how he starts his creative process. “Sometimes it's the crowd on the dancefloor and sometimes it’s a personal trip, and my mission is soundtracking these pictures and emotions.” Working on several different tracks at once in order to find the right sounds and to keep his mind as fresh and open as possible, his quest to find the perfect aural accompaniment to match up to his subconscious thoughts is a wild, complex and unbounded one. With current loves including everything from alternative rock to chiptune to psychedelia to industrial music, his ears and brain form a dense musical sponge which always welcomes new ideas and tastes.You won’t find my producers who keep themselves relevant over the years in such a dynamic and exciting way, as oppose to simply following the crowd and jumping on the latest musical bandwagon. The list of supporting DJs is quite frankly ridiculous – Ricardo Villalobos, Honey Dijon,Ame,Luciano, Locodice, Raresh,Sven Väth, Carl Cox, Carl Craig, Ellen Allien, Danny Tenaglia, Jamie Jones,The Martinez Brothers,Seth Troxler,Deetron, Slam, Bushwacka!, Karotte and Till Von Sein to name just a few. What’s the secret to his myriad successes and ever-young sound then? It’s quite simple: “ignore the trends and do the opposite of what the market says”. Spoken like a true innovator..In october 2018 Santos starts a own label : Let Me Understand records,immediatly well supported from a huge names and type of djs.

LIGHTLEAK, born and raised in Laguna Beach, California, is an emerging force in the minimal deep tech and house scene. 

In 2024, he sharpened his craft while studying electronic music production in Amsterdam, immersing himself in Europe’s vibrant underground culture.

The Shelter EP on Hottrax gained widespread traction, reaching #1 on the House chart on Beatport and #1 trending across all genres on SoundCloud, where it held its position for over two weeks, while also receiving support from BBC Radio 1.

Building on this momentum, LIGHTLEAK followed with the Dance For Me EP on PIV Club, which marked a new creative and commercial peak. The EP received support from BBC Radio 1, was selected as Track of the Day on SoundCloud, and earned prominent editorial placement on Spotify via All New Dance and Deep and Minimal, further solidifying his growing international presence.

Supported by leading names such as Jamie Jones, Rossi, Solomun, Prunk, Sidney Charles, Locklead, Traumer, Carlita, Joseph Capriati, Pete Tong, and much more, LIGHTLEAK’s sound blends groove heavy drums, tight basslines, and a colorful, modern edge built for the dancefloor.

Building on this momentum, LIGHTLEAK has forthcoming releases on TSZR, Nervous Records, Factory 93, PIV, and Method 808, continuing to establish himself as one of the most exciting new names shaping the sound of modern underground house.
