Released on 7 February, Luciano Esse makes his Beard Man debut with his ‘Still Moving’ EP, which features four new tracks plus a remix by label head, Mark Broom. Luciano embarked on his career in the Italian club scene during the early 1990s. His first professional involvement came through his work with The Flame, where he was introduced to the technical aspects of DJing, with turntables and vinyl. In 2000, he relocated to London for a decade to further refine his musical expertise, apparently garnering attention from several key promoters in the city.
This exposure allowed him to perform regularly at London venues including fabric, The End, The Cross, Ministry Of Sound and The Egg.
In 2005 he co-founded ZUM, an itinerant event series, alongside Antonio De Angelis. The event became a fixture in the underground scene with line-ups that featured techno and electronic acts. A year later he was invited by John Digweed to appear on his Transitions radio show, a milestone in his journey to international recognition.
By the mid-2000s, he secured a DJ residency at The Flame Music Department in Milan, based at the Amnesia club. During the summers of 2006 and 2007, he also became a resident DJ for We Love Sundays at Space Ibiza, further cementing his reputation within the clubbing community.
After gaining a strong foothold in the Italian and European circuit, he took on regular DJ roles at Italian venues like Clorophilla, Cromie and Guendalina. In 2010, he became a resident DJ at Sound Department in Taranto, apparently one of Italy's most influential nightclubs, where he performed for nearly a decade every Saturday night.
Luciano's sound is rooted in techno but incorporates a broad spectrum of electronic influences that aims to demonstrate a versatile approach that bridges various subgenres and experimental forms.
His musical output has been released on record labels such as Life & Death, Sleaze, Affekt Recordings, District66, Safari Electronique, Leftroom, Material Series, Tenax, Trapez, Out-Er, Sound Department Ascolti, and now Beard Man.
