Nicolas Lutz

Vinyl marathons by the Spree

At Club der Visionaere, Nicolas Lutz's nights stretch until the clock stops mattering: two turntables, a deep crate, and the patience of someone searching for the track no one has heard. The Uruguayan selector turned that cabin by the Spree into a laboratory for a style that prioritizes vinyl, long hours, and unearthing rarities of nineties electro, house, and techno. Alongside booth companions like Binh, he positioned himself at the center of a circle of European diggers—also linked to Toi.Toi.Musik in London—who understand DJing as a hypnotic journey, not a catalog of new releases.

From Montevideo to the circuit of cult booths

He was born in Montevideo and left Uruguay in the late nineties. In São Paulo, he was a resident at Lov.e, Hell's Club, and D-Edge, and worked in record stores; after six years and his return to Europe, a summer in 2008 in Ibiza made him a resident at Monza at Space and led him to dates like Zoo Project. Berlin offered him the freedom of endless sessions; fabric anchored him to London—a set in Room 3 even delayed the closing—and Panorama Bar, Concrete, Hoppetosse, and Phonotheque, in his hometown, completed the map, with mixes lasting up to eleven hours. In recent years, he has closed the Pavilion at Houghton Festival, played all night at WOMB (Tokyo) and Nitsa alongside John Talabot, and has shared long sessions with Craig Richards. Today he lives in Mallorca, with nearly three decades behind the decks and worldwide booking through Ekipa Agency.

My Own Jupiter and the luxury of the unfindable

In 2014, he founded My Own Jupiter with Edurne, a multidisciplinary artistic platform and short-run vinyl label. In 2020, Lutzifer was born, with editions of barely ninety copies, no represses, and no digital version. As a producer, he released Sentimental Stab with Tunik—including a remix by Barnt—and, under the alias Draculas Lutz, the EP Auf Wiedersehen with Omar. His RA.473, the XLR8R Podcast 450 representing South America, and the Dekmantel Mix 513 established a cult of DJ for DJs: exclusive vinyl, tech house, forgotten electro and techno, and an aesthetic that prefers mystery over overexposure.
