Hi everybody, we are very happy to invite for the new TIME IS NOW Luca Mortello aka Lucy. Lucy aka Luca Mortellaro was born in Palermo, Italy, creating a name for himself as an underground artist in Italy. These early tracks drew the attention of renowned artists including James Holden. Luca is a king of genious musician, far from the fashion rules, far from the loopy rules of the moment. It's not that the new fashion is so bad, but the luca's music is just magic. For this opus, Luca gave uf two awesome tracks. "Bomblin", a true poem, with its floating guitar and synths. All in a strong beat. "i need you" is a pure techno track like Lucy perfectly knows how to do it. We call three remixers for this great package.
