FEATURED RELEASE
Luca Draccar’s upcoming EP, The Dark Side, is an exploration of sound, philosophy, and instinct. “Human life itself begins in darkness.” Luca reflects, a sentiment that courses through the very foundation of this project. “I base all my decisions on intuition. I roll a die in the darkness. That is intuition.”
“It is very likely that if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you.”
“The EP is stylistically between cultured sound and trance distortion with a neo-romantic flavor.” Luca describes the melodies as deeply emotional, elevating the listener through layered soundscapes. The production embraces clarity and chaos, creating an unpredictable listening experience. “There a passages distorted to hell, which give some feels of supernatural.” This contrast fuels an irreverent creative approach. “It is stylistic irreverent so it doesn't take anything seriously, it plays with the concept of true and false.”
Luca likens the EP’s sound to a sensory experience. “A uniquely seductive fragrance for a heady impression of attraction, menace, and power.” He continues by saying that it carries an unrestrained trance energy, channeling a Dionysian spirit of liberation. The sonic textures range from aggressive and raw to hypnotic and surreal. “Do you remember the feeling of the flash of a strobe burning an image of a crowded dance floor into your eyes?”
“Overdriven kicks and jagged synths bounce off concrete walls.” The reflections of emotions coming out are imbued with a profound lucidity and aversion to metaphysics. “There is a strong critical charge in the all arrangement of the EP, always on the edge of irony and parody.”
The EP’s production evokes a complex fusion of sensations. “A powerful scent of sounds with an explosive blend featuring hyper pop stimulating visions.” Luca likens it to a perfume-like structure. “Mandarine orange top notes which play with a warm spicy herbaceous heart. Ending on a powerful deep bass smoked and sweat mix together.” It is, as Luca describes, “An intoxicating cocktail of aromas.”
The Dark Side is an invitation to embrace unpredictability. “Breathe in deep. Are you ready?”
