Based between Glasgow and their hometown Berlin, Luca Eck is one of the most promising talents rising from a new generation of artists. They aim to create a blend between experimental pop music and the dark sounds of industrial techno that Numéro Magazine characterises as “brimming with emotion”. Heralded as a “rising star by DJ Mag and Dance Wax, Luca has been invited to play some of the most renowned streaming formats, such as ARTE Concert’s United We Stream, HÖR Berlin and Rinse France. Offline, they have shared stages with Brutalismus 3000, Wallis, Regal and Anetha – who recently invited them to contribute to her renowned Label Mama Told Ya in 2022. They are a resident of the internationally acclaimed queer party DURCH and Edinburgh techno staple Nightvision (Terminal V Festival).
Being classically trained since their early childhood, they started writing and producing electronic pop music at the age of 11, later transitioning into techno in 2017. Luca Eck’s track selections and productions feature a sound that is uncompromisingly hard, yet deeply emotional: Bright melodies hover above dystopian soundscapes and warping digital textures, a style rooted as much in nostalgia as it is futuristic. With their hit single “Walking The Edge” currently sitting at over one million streams on Spotify, Luca Eck have already built an impressive discography featuring releases on Anetha’s Mama Told Ya, as well as a collaborative EP with Berghain regular Nur Jaber coming up soon. Luca’s productions have previously been featured on BBC Radio 1, Radio 6 Music, Czech Radio 1, Radio Eins RBB and Spotify playlists such as Off Pop, Club Resistance, Ethereal and Amelie Lens‘ Track IDs.
