For the next LUVCAST we've got quite a biggie in store! It's from none other than (Acid) House / Techno icon TIN MAN who is (as are we) based in our lovable city Vienna. The California born Johannes Auvinen is not only a multi instrumentalist and analog freak but also quite a visionary when it comes to musical boundaries. His seven (!) albums were released between 2004 and 2014, encompassing a sta...

Daso, a new player within the ranks of Luv Shack Records (with two tracks on LUV015) is by no means a stranger to the electronic music scene. His first appearances on Spectral, Connaiseur or My Best Friend and collabs with Florian Meindl and Franklin Da Costa have helped him amass a strong following in the house & techno community - and his recent excursions into disco territory (including an exce...

Megadon Betamax is the one man synth-disco-band of Dubai based Australian Mostyn Rieschmueller, who is also one of the three minds behind the superb undergound label Voyeurhythm. His productions keenly hover between sophisticated modern disco and eerie leftfield synthesizer boogie. As a DJ, Mostyn clearly loves to assemble music from all the different genres that shaped the house sound of today. I...

Looking back at the catalogue of Jacques Renault, it's hard to believe that his first ever solo release was in 2008. Collaborations with Marcos Cabral as Runaways, the foundation of On the Prowl / OTP party breaks, Lets Play House/ LPH White, a rich set of singles and countless remixes have since been added to his list of achievements as a producer & manager, and by the looks of it, A lot more wil...

This time Luv Shack Records' very own LeSale jumps in to present us an exclusive mix packed with a selection of rare, classic and modern disco and boogie jams - and it's his first LUVCAST for the eponymous mix series! The french-austrian producer has been on a bit of a music diet in the past year, focusing mainly on family affairs, but now we're more than happy to welcome him...

Ever since the epic space disco masterpieces of early Lindstrom, the electronic music world has looked closely at everything coming from the Nordics. We have also looked north, and found one handsome man named Jarle Brathen – a Full Pupp mate of Prins Thomas and Todd Terje – to contribute to our LUVCAST series. Although his productions are clearly cosmic synth influenced, he looks a lot into House...

For a change, here comes a LUVCAST by two bavarian youngsters that live and party (and DJ, for that matter) in one if Europe's finest cities for electronic music: Munich! Damnitsdisco are "Johannes better known as Findus and Bernie aka Acid Kayak" - alright? Their passion for non-minimal music in a somewhat narrow minded surrounding helped them emerge as bonafied party organizers and DJs after the...

Los Angeles' Calvin James, better known as Rhythm Operator, has been transcending the electronic music scene for the last few years, working with a lot of upcoming labels and artists that helped define the return of garage house music to the european scene - Ejeca, Let's Play House and Waze & Odysee`s W&O Streets Tracks just to name a few!

Another LUVCAST has just arrived, and its a good one! Italian duo extraordinaire Hard Ton have a reputation of being everything but ‘normal’. Their benevolent productions for dozens of fine elecronic labels (like Permanent Vacation, Danny Was A Drag King, Toy Tonics or Skint) are just as much a part of Hard Ton as is the amazing falsetto voice of singer Max and his drag appearances on several bril...

Our city Vienna is a breeding area for electronic music as it seems. Whilst the glorious days of most of the downbeat heroes are over, there's a large number of new talented acts entering the scene. However the next contributors to our Luvcast series aren't newcomers by any means. Constantin Zeileissen & Philipp Haffner have been producing highly acclaimed and complex electro and techno under the...

For our LUVCAST series, we've always put great attention on the contributors' taste. So LUVCAST 016 comes from Tooli, who is one of the two masterminds of Local Talk, a label that has revived and helped redefine house music in the last couple of years! Its safe to say that this man taste needs no further introduction. Tooli's exclusive selection of tracks for us is a bit "darker" and features a co...

Bringing the best of both their musical and geographical heritage to the (turn-)table (Brax Moody is from Munich, Vamparela from Thessaloniki), the duo’s Berlin based Local Suicide project became a very successful radioshow, blog and platform for electronic music from all over the globe. However the heart of Lo...

LUVCAST 013 comes from two aspiring producers, passionate DJs and true vinyl lovers in the heart of Vienna.

And because they are nice & talented chaps, our frie...

The brooding and constantly evolving city of Berlin is renowned for a high density and diversity of quality party locations. Every weekend, the great DJs gathering in this city would easily make a fine lineup for any electronic music festival. The mysterious duo Peak & Swift have put their very own stamp on this scene by helping the extravant “Salon zur wilden Renate” become one of the key locatio...

In the year 1973, electronic instrument manufacturer Roland introduced the RE-201 tape delay. This machine became a highly sought after fx unit and is still playing a substancial role in many modern studios, however it is better known by the name ‘Space Echo’. When Luv Shack’s Lee Stevens sat down with fellow Austrian producer caTekk, and – after a long dialogue about music, life and reverb effect...

When producer Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and vocalist Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba join forces in the studio or on stage, they go by the witty yet catchy name Manhooker. They have a remarkable reputation in Europe’s music capital Berlin where they performed in the fabled Berghain and successively released on Ostgut Ton’s sublabel Unterton. Luv Shack Records aquired one of their tracks for upcoming re...

The Luvcast series continues with a bit of a special mix. Radio Diffusion, a new addition to the Compost Records roster and one of the remixers of our latest release “Sum Of Luv”, have been prone to producing without genre boundaries since we first heard of them. And so it came as no surprise when they sent us this very diverse, two and a half (!!!) hour long mix. It’s a vibrant ride full of warm...
