His taste is eclectic and diverse, and the mix he made for us showcases just that in well balanced fashion. Summer vibes fresh out of Vienna! www.soundcloud.com/fabiano_jose...

For the next instalment of our LUVCAST series we have some more fresh Austrian blood by the name of Peter.le. He's a young crate digger from the idyllic town of Gmunden (apparently a good brooding ground for House loving DJs, also being the home town of Luv Shack`s Jakobin & Domino)! Peter.le is all about injecting Vienna`s club scene with a good dose of vinyl obsession and carefully selected Hous...

A message reached Luv Shack headquarters, presumably from one of the Balearic Islands: 'One day when sky was green and grass was blue we walked along the sand holding our hands at some point we heard unexplained flute sounds - that was a sign.
