Lucy

Luca Mortellaro alias "Lucy" was born in Palermo (Italy) in 1983. At 16, he embarked on his journey of musical creation by experimenting with sounds on his first analog synths. From these early experimentations he launched his career as a DJ at 18, whilst still living in his native Italy. However, it was only once he moved to Paris in 2006 that he decided to fully dedicate his life to electronic music. In 2007, he released his first EP, "Open House" (Qoki Records), which immediately drew the attention of renowned artists, such as, James Holden. Later Holden introduced Lucy's work to Raphael Ripperton, founder of Perspectiv Records, who immediately decided to release a second maxi "Glass Computer" on his label. "Glass Computer" is the result of collaboration with Rone (a creative partnership that also led to "Continuity Theory (for Adri)" on Curle). Lucy has recently been warmly welcomed aboard the label Meerestief, a relationship that has allowed him to continue to pursue his musical interests, and build on his commercial success with several releases currently in the pipeline. Constantly searching for innovative sounds, Lucy's dj sets and live acts combine techno, minimal, neo-trance and electro, to create a vibe that is simultaneously energetic and gliding.
