Peruvian-born and globally tuned, Gio Lucca knows his way around a groove.
His sound blends tech house, minimal and funk with a real sense of character. Releases on Nervous, Deeperfect and North of Neptune have put him in rotation with the likes of Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi, Pawsa and Marco Carola. Beatport Top 10 entries? Already ticked off.
Now, he’s stepping into a new chapter. His remix of Laid Back’s cult classic ‘Cocaine Cool’ is bold, charismatic and weird in the best way. It also launches his new label ISO, which looks set to be a home for left of centre late night cuts.
We asked Gio to pick out some current favourites for this edition of Hot Picks. What came back is a list full of groove, sax, stank face energy and a few nods to his friends and roots.
Marco Lys - The story continues
Marco Lys is a legend. This is an amazing track, such a dance floor bomb, love, love layering an acapella over this. The sax and groove never fails to make the crowd dance.
Jaden Thompson - Control Freak
Great energy, one of my favorite Jaden tracks, drums are simple yet so punchy, the switch up towards the end of the track is so unique as well.
Nocapz. - coming for ya
Groovy track, feel-good vocals on the dance floor. I found the original instrumental that was sampled on this track a while back and Nocapz definitely did it justice.
Gio Lucca - Pump
One of my favorite tracks of mine out with one of my favorite labels, roller with good energy.
Moontalk - Money (Thats What I Want)
Nasty track, so heavy, I always get stank faces in the crowd when I drop this. I really enjoy those chunky claps and synths on these indie house tracks, very unique style of music that not many are pioneering.
Kidoo - Hora De Joc
That playful melody of the flute makes this one a fun track, hard to not dance to it. It’s super dope that Kidoo incorporated a Romanian sample in this dance floor bomb, awesome way to pay respect to his culture.
Braydon Terzo, Julio Bravo - Get Up
Dance floor bomb by my good friends. That familiar vocal sample paired with the bass really make this a versatile record. Been getting love from the likes of Stussy and Mau P.
Tiptoes - Chip Shop Heroes (Sidney Charles remix)
This remix is insane, proper vibes, one of my favorites from Sidney Charles. I saw him live for the first time last year at Art Basel and his sets are just as incredible as his productions.
Prok & Fitch - Tiger Blood
Legendary Charlie Sheen sample, track is just a timeless groover. One of the first Prok & Fitch tracks I ever heard and it’s just been in my rotation since.
Kidoo - The - BF Mix
Kidoo again, he doesn’t miss. One of my favorite releases on Muse, the feel good vocal with that bouncy groove is unstoppable.
Whether building chunky rollers or flipping classics, Gio Lucca moves with purpose.
There’s a clear thread in what he plays and produces. Energy, personality, and that magic combo of simplicity and funk. His own track ‘Pump’ shows that off, and his remix of ‘Cocaine Cool’ gives a cult favourite a warped new edge.
With ISO now live and more music on the way, Gio’s not just following trends. He’s carving his own lane, one groove at a time.
