  • It’s easy to see or hear why, with hardly any publicity and just a few releases to his name, Nicolas Lutz is one of the most admired DJs of our time. Few DJs remind us, the way he does, how finding and playing records is not just an art form, but an essential ritual; a way for himself and his audience to connect deeply to themselves and to each other. His unpredictable, extended, all-vinyl sets have earned him a sea of diehard fans across the world.

    There's a free-flowing poetry to Lutz's sets you sense right away. He plays only what he truly knows and loves, losing track of time as hours turn into entire nights. Genre feels irrelevant. Techno, Minimal, electro, house, breakbeat, IDM, ambient, new wave, whatever - it’s all secondary to something more honest and mysterious. Nico plays whatever music touches him, however it wants to be played. In a way the records choose themselves, he just puts them on the platter and lets instinct guide his hands, weaving them together with an ease and precision that feel almost unreal. Even for him, it’s never fully predictable – that’s part of the magic.
