Lucy - Biography
Lucy aka Luca Mortellaro was born in Palermo, Italy, in 1983. At 16, he embarked on his journey of musical creation, experimenting firstly with analog synths. From these humble beginnings he started performing as a DJ, creating a name for himself as an underground artist in Italy. Once he moved to Paris in 2006 he decided to fully dedicate his life to electronic music. Lucy attracted interest from several labels and in 2007 had his first releases. These early tracks drew the attention of renowned artists including James Holden. It was Holden who introduced Lucy's work to Raphael Ripperton, prompting Ripperton to immediately release "Glass Computer" on his influential label, Perspectiv Records. Through invitations to remix tracks for leading artists such as Gui Boratto, labels like Tic Tac Toe Records and featuring on Fabric 38 mixed by M.A.N.D.Y, Lucy garnered his international reputation. In 2007 he was warmly welcomed aboard Meerestief Records, a relationship that has allowed him to continually develop his musical identity with several EPs. Significantly, Meerestief also invited Lucy to compile and mix the Submerge CD, released in February 2009. Collaborations with cutting-edge labels such as Curle Recordings, ProgCity Deep Trax and the aforementioned Meerestief has led to hotly anticipated forthcoming work on Ware and Time Has Changed Records to name but a few. Lucy, supported by giants of electronic music such as Steve Lawler, Derrick May, Laurent Garnier, Agoria, James Holden, John Digweed and more, is confirmed as one of the most interesting newcomers in the underground scene.
