Crosstalk

Crosstalk is the hard-to-pin and impossible-to-ignore electronic project of São Paulo-based artist and visual effects specialist Luca Rassi. Since emerging in 2023, Crosstalk has rapidly become one of Brazil’s most compelling exports, forging a distinct sonic language that blends UK garage, baile funk, dubstep, and ambient textures. Rassi’s roots in film production and CG design inform Crosstalk’s audiovisual world, but it’s the music that speaks loudest. Early tracks like “MAMADA DUB” and “5am” (with Chediak) caught fire, with “5am” surpassing one million streams and “MAMADA DUB” landing #14 on KEYMAG’s Top 100 Garage Tracks of 2023. Across 2024–2025, Crosstalk released two defining EPs — CT-2 on The Tabula Rasa Record Company and URL;;irl via Daisy Chain Recordings — while parallel club-focused edits and remixes gained heavy international DJ rotation, backed by support from artists such as Skrillex, Bicep and Machinedrum. In late 2025, the collaborative EP “Cheditalk” was recognized by Resident Advisor, ranking #64 in its list of ‘The Best Electronic Records of 2000–25’. By the end of 2025, Crosstalk had completed two European tours, appearing across clubs and radio platforms throughout the continent. The run reinforced the project’s position as a conduit between Brazil’s hyperlocal rave culture and the wider global underground.
