About me

Luke is laidback about everything except music. Named best producer of 2008 by such qualified house maestros as David Guetta, Martin Solveig and Roger Sanchez, and landing an impressive new entry – voted # 46 – in DJ magazine’s Top 100 DJs Poll, it’s clear that Holland’s homeboy is on the rise like never before. It’s why he’s been bustin’ up bassbins from the Americas to Ibiza. Why he was selected to ignite the Stealth Live! CD series with a near perfect club mix. Why his party, Nighttime Superheroes, is such a winner. Why he was snapped up for a weekly mix show by French station Radio FG. And why he was invited by the UK’s Pete Tong to complete an Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1. 

Luke continued to rise up in 2008, releasing five tracks, 18 remixes and spinning almost 200 DJ sets in less than 12 months. Going all out for his Essential Mix, he reworked, using his own vocals, a Daft Punk classic, resulting in a personal homage to ‘Teachers’. He sampled his vocals on ‘Break Down The House’, too. This was unleashed on Mixmash, as was Steve Angello & Luke’s ‘Be’ and Luke & Roman Salzger’s ‘Generation Noise’. Another big Mixmash smash came from Luke working with Kanye West’s tour DJ A-Trak for ‘Shake It Down’, which was earmarked as an Essential New Tune by Pete Tong. Others making the Essential New Tune grade this year included Luke’s remix of Underworld’s ‘Ring Road’ and his Chromeo ‘Fancy Footwork’ remix. This was a year that also saw Luke make an enormous impact on the party island of Ibiza. After playing at Amnesia, Pacha and Eden, he produced/remixed every track on his Ibiza Closing Party cover-mount mix for Mixmag. He then ended the year with the mash-up anthem ‘Show Me Love’/‘Be’ by Steve Angello & Luke featuring Robin S, which entered the Buzz Chart at # 1 and Cool Cuts Chart at # 2
