>> Lucien-n-Luciano
bio: Born in 1978, Lucien Nicolet AKA Lucien-N-Luciano has been a DJ since 1993 and a producer since 1997. In the mid-90's, he was promoting Sense Club and Encuentros con la Technocultura in Santiago de Chile in the company of many initiators of the Latin American electronic music scene including Senor Coconut AKA Atom Heart, Ricardo Villalobos, Argenix Brito, & Microman. Luciano's mixed Swiss & Chilean identity shows in his music, a somewhat mystical blend of deep techno & electro that integrates southern elements in rhythms and colourful patterns in sound. He has had a string of well-received releases on some of the world?s finest electronic labels including Transmat, Perlon, Klang Elektronik, Lo-Fi Stereo, Cadenza & Bruchstuecke. He is also a regular collaborator with Ricardo Villalobos (Playhouse, Perlon, Warp, Force Inc etc.) as Sense Club & Pier Bucci and Argenix Brito as Monne Automne.
?Blind Behaviour? Luciano?s debut album on Peacefrog is a genre defying musical treat. Coming in somewhere between house, electronica, techno & dub - you can hear touches of Autechre, Carl Craig, Kraftwerk & Manuel Gottsching in Lucien?s original production technique, making this album perfect for both the coffee table & the club. Stand out tracks include the gorgeous album opener ?Alain Brito? - a dubby soulful electro style track, with beautiful spaced out vocals from the man himself. ?Madre, Mother & Mere? retains the same dub sensibilities, while managing to combine late eighties electronic pop with some classic Balearic touches. ?La Ondita? is a more down tempo affair with the beautiful haunting vocals of Cassy Britton adding a very Zero 7esque feel to the proceedings. The album concludes with the title track ?Blind Behaviour? a homage to the early sounds of Detroit ? think Inertia, Open House & the classic sounds of Retroactive.
