Max HeyraudThis week’s Mix of the Week features the rising Dublin techno selector DJ Get Luc(y), who delivers an eclectic mix that subtly blends various influences. While the mix primarily falls under the techno umbrella, it incorporates elements of new-school hardgroove, sinister gabber-kissed full-throttle bangers, and psy-leaning big-room tracks, creating a zig-zagging journey through her diverse library.
DJ Get Luc(y) is the latest artist to feature in Dissolve‘s guest-mix series, Night Nectar, following the talented footsteps of polyp, cable.percussion, OneCanChan, and more. Lucy’s diverse and wide-ranging approach to mixing has become an intrinsic part of her identity as a DJ, aptly captured in her Instagram bio: “Locked to no genre.” Her latest mix is a testament to her desire to push boundaries, showcasing her ability to pair tracks that are typically not associated with one another.
DJ Get Luc(y) delivers a jarring hour-long mix that shifts from upbeat, disco-infused samba techno to dystopian industrial soundscapes, echoing the relentless techno era of artists like Dax J and I Hate Models from 2016 to 2018. She seamlessly transitions into galloping techno influenced by psytrance, infusing the mix with the French twist championed by artists like Anetha. The journey culminates in nosebleed-inducing hard techno, resulting in a concoction of contrasting sounds, feelings, and rhythms.
DJ Get Luc(y)’s latest mix fearlessly explores the diverse corners of the dancefloor, showcasing her ever-expanding love for the faster side of techno-leaning club music. Spanning trance euphoria, dizzying psytrance, and relentless hammering techno, this mix exemplifies her dynamic range. Her contribution to the Night Nectar series not only highlights her versatility as a DJ but also reinforces her commitment to pushing the boundaries of expectation.
