Nicolas Lutz
also plays Berlin — 4 nights
Born in 1980 in Montevideo, Uruguay, and currently based in Mallorca, Nicolas Lutz has forged a solid identity, wrapped in a carefully sustained aura of mystery and shaped through thousands of hours of obsessive research, digging deep into the darkest corners of underground electronic music.
Far from noise and unnecessary exposure, his figure has been built through intuition, deep exploration, and a ritualistic relationship with music, where each record functions as a tool for profound personal work that translates into a powerful impact on the dancefloor.
Today, with nearly three decades behind the decks and a collection marked by an inexplicable DNA, he has established himself as a cult selector — a romantic of darkness and a creator of hypnotic atmospheres capable of transforming the energy of any space.
His sets carry a free-flowing poetry that is felt from the very first moment: a journey moving from darkness into light, shedding masks and allowing his emotional state to surface through sound. He plays only what he truly knows and loves, losing track of time as hours turn into entire nights where genre becomes irrelevant [techno, electro, house, breakbeat, IDM, ambient or new wave], all secondary to something more honest and mysterious. Nico lets the records almost choose themselves, guided by instinct, weaving together deep and powerful frequencies capable of transforming those open to the moment. Even for him, the outcome is never fully predictable — and that’s where part of the magic lies.
The rest of it — two more paragraphs
This intense relationship with music is grounded in impeccable technique. Thousands of hours of practice, a deep understanding of the structure and energy of each record, and absolute control of EQ grant him total freedom when mixing. The result is improbable combinations, unique transitions, and moments that feel guided by something beyond rational thought.
In 2014, he founded My Own Jupiter, a label that quickly became a key underground reference and a fundamental platform for projecting the Uruguayan sound internationally, creating deep connections between artists. After a decade of intense work, the project closed its cycle, leaving behind a solid catalogue and a community that continues to orbit around that experience.
