returning to elsewhere for his 2nd visit now, one of melbourne's budding new exports, Luke Alessi.

Luke is a relative newcomer to the moodier Australian house & techno scene, but no stranger to creating music that moves dance floors. As he finds his groove Luke Alessi is quickly making a name for himself at home and overseas with his unique approach that beholds an enchanting storytelling nature. Transitioning from a darker melodic-techno background, Luke has been developing his sound pallet that sits in between house & techno, with warm melodies and afro grooves which bring more life than darkness to his records.
Since the projects inception in 2018 Luke Alessi has received nods of praise from leading producers both locally and internationally, initially sparked by his remix of Lastlings ‘Déjà Vu’ that gained support from the likes of Black Coffee and RÜFÜS DU SOL and carried through to prominent releases on Oliver Koletzki’s A Tribe Called Kotori imprint, and Sabb’s label RADIANT.
Despite the uncertainty of 2020 a consistent run of releases became the norm for Luke Alessi, starting with his ‘I Just Wanted To Tell You’/’Moving’ 2-tracker on Swiss label RADIANT (Sabb,
Black Circle and OXIA), and followed by debut releases on A Tribe Called Kotori and California’s Desert Heart Black. Luke Alessi remixes came for Made in Paris, GNTN, Zola Blood and Squire, with the latter seeing his first release on respected German label Mobilee and
opening the door for more to come with them in 2021.
Pre-COVID lockdown, Luke was booked for debut shows in South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia, as well as taking on support duties with Eelkie Kleijn, Maya Jane Coles, Pan
Pot, Serge Devant and Made in Paris. In between club sets at Melbourne’s XE54 and Revolver, and Sydney’s Oxford Arts Factory, Civic Underground and Good Bar.
Striving to create music that’s designed to take you somewhere else, even if just momentarily, there’s a lot in store for this young Melbourne producer.
