French minimal house up-and-comer Lukea demonstrates his full potential with upcoming vinyl-only EP, ‘Zirconiu’.
Lukea is a rising star in the French minimal/micro-house scene. Racking up millions of streams for some of his most acclaimed edits and remixes on services like YouTube, SoundCloud and Spotify. The young producer has garnered much respect and recognition in the minimal-house community within an exceptionally short period of time. Even the mass hiatus of 2020 hasn’t slowed down his momentum. In a recent Facebook post, Lukea announced an upcoming project that has been the amalgamation of over a year’s work, and in mid-April of this year, minimal house music fans will get acquainted with ‘Zirconiu’.
The first track on his forthcoming ‘Zirconiu EP’, a vinyl only release from the brand new Madrid based label Bohrium Records, titled ‘A Pierdut Noaptea’, is truly a breath of fresh air. The luscious ‘Café del Mar’ inspired guitar licks and groovy bass line are sure to transport you to a climactic moment of transcendence, the perfect soundtrack for a magical sunset in Ibiza with your closest friends. Dreamy and delicious.
Each track that follows on the 4-track EP gradually takes you on a deep dive inward, with glimmering, radiant color and shine. Mesmerizing is an understatement. This style of minimal house music is all the rage in places like Romania, the UK, and France and is sure to infiltrate and dominate the house music scene for years to come. And speaking of Romania, the fourth and final track on this stellar release is a remix by Romanian up and comer “Macarie’ (or “Macarie Alex’ as presented on his SoundCloud page). True to form, the intense and disorienting “ro-minimal” sound, loosely defined by its obscenely rich polyrhythms and trippy vocal chops, is on full display in the works of this artist.
One can’t help but be excited for what’s to come of these great producers and the niche subgenre they represent. Poignant and tasteful, this EP is a true testament to Lukea’s unyielding potential. Be sure to grab one of only 300 copies when the EP is released on April 15th, 2021.
