Piezo

Piezo is a Milan-based electronic music producer, DJ and sound artist working at the intersection of UK techno, sound-system culture and mutant dance music. Luca Mucci adopted the Piezo alias in 2013, initially gaining attention within the UK bass and deep dubstep scenes. After relocating to Bristol for a spell and becoming inspired by the vibrant music community there, Piezo further broadened his horizons with releases on well-regarded British labels including Idle Hands and Swamp81, but also Orson's Version, as well as Facta & K-Lone's Wisdom Teeth. Before moving back to Milan he decided to start his own label, Ansia (currently on its 5th release), which would see his focus shift to releasing energetic dancefloor tools set apart by a distinctly humorous approach to composition and sound design. The label has become a cult favourite amongst some of the worlds most exciting DJs, with fans including Batu, Laurel Halo and Low Jack. In August 2020 Piezo releases his first full-length, “Perdu”, on Milanese cult experimental label Hundebiss (run by PAN affiliate STILL), an album which reflects the myriad of influences and the versatility of the producer, moving between technoid UK bass, hypnotic 4th-world textures and heavy sound-design. In 2020 he was also included in the SHAPE platform roster, the Creative Europe-supported platform for innovative music and audiovisual art. He is also active in the sound art / interactive installations field, having been commissioned to work on several projects for private collectors and arts institutions, and collaborating with Milanese artist duo Invernomuto on their BlackMed multimedia project (supported by the Italian Council program to promote Italian contemporary art) 2022 sees his return on Wisdom Teeth with 'LSD Superhero', a 5-tracker EP bringing together the goofy, club-ready aspects of his output on Ansia with the meticulously crafted cybernetic sonics of 'Perdu', but with the addition of gaseous pads and lush melodies. 2023 will see Piezo release new music on his own Ansia, as well as on TSVI and Wallwork’s label Nervous Horizon.
