Luke is live in the studio and will chat with Timmy before his set which will be video streamed live.
One of Australia’s budding new exports, Luke Alessi, is a relative newcomer to the moodier Australian house & techno scene, but no stranger to creating music that moves dance floors. As he finds his groove Luke Alessi is quickly making a name for himself at home and overseas with his unique approach that beholds an enchanting storytelling nature. Transitioning from a darker melodic-techno background, Luke has been developing his sound pallet that sits in between house & techno, with warm melodies and afro grooves which bring more life than darkness to his records.
Since the projects inception in 2018 Luke Alessi has received nods of praise from leading producers both locally and internationally, initially sparked by his remix of Lastlings ‘Déjà Vu’ that gained support from the likes of Black Coffee and RÜFÜS DU SOL and carried through to prominent releases on Oliver Koletzki’s A Tribe Called Kotori imprint, and Sabb’s label RADIANT.
Despite the uncertainty of 2020 a consistent run of releases became the norm for Luke Alessi, starting with his ‘I Just Wanted To Tell You’/’Moving’ 2-tracker on Swiss label RADIANT (Sabb, Black Circle and OXIA), and followed by debut releases on A Tribe Called Kotori and California’s Desert Heart Black. Luke Alessi remixes came for Made in Paris, GNTN, Zola Blood and Squire, with the latter seeing his first release on respected German label Mobilee and opening the door for more to come with them in 2021.
Pre-COVID lockdown, Luke was booked for debut shows in South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia, as well as taking on support duties with Eelkie Kleijn, Maya Jane Coles, Pan Pot, Serge Devant and Made in Paris. In between club sets at Melbourne’s XE54 and Revolver, and Sydney’s Oxford Arts Factory, Civic Underground and Good Bar.
Striving to create music that’s designed to take you somewhere else, even if just momentarily, there’s a lot in store for this young Melbourne producer. Stay tuned.
Luke Alessi rounds out 2020 joining Stil vor Talent for his debut release, playing a part in the 9th installment of the “Stil vor Talent Berlin” compilation series. The December 11 release of ‘Adumu’ places Luke in pristine company for his first touch on one of Germany’s esteemed house & techno labels. The compilation brings forth a group of old and new faces including Andhim, Colyn, Tim Engelhardt and label boss Oliver Koletzki exclusively contributing tracks, gathered under the umbrella of one of Berlin’s few remaining autonomous housing projects.
Luke Alessi will follow up the original release with a remix for Spanish producer Squire, giving his own touch to ‘Hundred Falls’ that comes out on Dec 18 with tastemaker German label, Mobilee. Luke’s rework draws the listeners attention to the vocal story in a deeply driving club production that takes “Hundred Falls” into the late night, receiving strong support from the likes of Themba, Blond:Ish, Rodriguez Jnr, Animal Trainer and more. Expect to hear more from Luke Alessi on Mobilee in 2021 as he works towards his own EP on the label.
