Piezo

Scaling the liminal nexus of UK club futurism with tempoless inhibitions and adventurous textures in sound, Piezo explores the kinetic infinites of dance music’s vast permutations. Cast from the embers of dubstep’s heyday experienced from his native home of Milan, Piezo (real name Luca Mucci) temporary relocated to Bristol enjoying an immersive spell in the city’s legendary sound system culture and vibrant alternative music community. Releases on British labels Idle Hands, Swamp81 and Facta & K-Lone's Wisdom Teeth followed. Ansia was founded by Piezo in the midst of this, a label acting as his creative appendage for wild dancefloor tools by himself and fellow club deviants, characterised by a mischievous attitude to both composition and sound design. It is currently 8 releases deep, featuring a mix of various artist compilations and solo turns from Luca himself, including 2023’s ‘Odd Hooks’. 2024 sees an exciting evolution after the release of the remix of Objekt’s legendary track ‘Ganzfeld’ on its 10-year anniversary, and a solo EP on Dekmantel’s UFO series: this 4-tracker reflects a growing interest in hi-energy hi-bpm percussive rollers, combining the artist’s natural tendency to futuristic rhythms with nostalgic reminiscences of old-school atmospheres.
