PICKS OF THE WEEK:

E.S.T. 083 • LUCE CLANDESTINA

Member of the independent label Details Sound as well as Mutaforma project, Italian DJ, sonic explorer and spatial researcher based in Turin, Luce Clandestina aspires to create unconventional sound imageries fluctuating between light and darkness. Exploring immersive labyrinths of hypnotic, dark and often psychedelic slow-mo, downtempo rhythms, her sets are eclectic and spontaneous paths that develop intertwining in an unexpected narrative, reflecting the interest towards a more internal dance and listening experience, as well as mental and emotional.
