🚧 bumpy los angeles tech house

Luke learned to dj at fraternity parties at the university of arizona, then moved to los angeles for a steady job and lost it to music. asked once what he listens to, he named Max Styler and Solomun, both further up this page.

Groovy, nostalgic, and impactful.

two records got him on the board in 2022, "Daka" on Bump N' Grind and "Maquina De Bailar" on Black Book, both beatport top 100. "Horny" with San Pacho on Insomniac in february 2025 is his most streamed.

but the one he points at himself is "Evil Ways", out on Helix in june 2025 and built on a cleared Willie Bobo sample.

Every time I play it, people sing to me, and it's slowly becoming everybody's favorite song.
