Berlin-based electronic music maestro Luca Draccar once again demonstrates his unparalleled ability to craft immersive soundscapes with his latest EP, The Dark Side, released on March 8, 2025. Known for his innovative approach to melodic techno, Draccar’s new work is a compelling four-track journey into the depths of electronic sound, blending euphoric harmonies, raw synth power, and haunting textures to create an atmosphere that lingers long after the final note.
A Sonic Journey Through Shadows
Opening with an anthemic surge, ‘The Dark Side’ pulls listeners into a world where hypnotic beats and cinematic progressions collide. The standout track ‘Bad at Love Since Forever’ masterfully fuses nostalgic techno and house elements, peppered with short, echoing vocal samples that add an emotional weight to the driving, rhythmic pulse. In contrast, ‘Outlaws Division’ explores the darker fringes of the dancefloor, its unpredictable structure and haunting melodies reflecting the EP’s overarching theme of shadow and light.
Cutting-Edge Sound Design
What sets Draccar apart is his attention to sonic detail. The EP seamlessly balances emotional melodies with raw, distorted textures, creating a distinctive sonic palette that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. Each track builds upon the last, weaving a complex narrative of sound that challenges traditional genre boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in the dancefloor ethos.
The Artist Behind the Shadows
With a background in multimedia communication and interactive design from the Bauhaus Universität Weimar, Luca Draccar is a true digital craftsman. His journey from Italy’s underground rave scene to the avant-garde clubs of Berlin is mirrored in his music – a fusion of technological precision and raw emotional energy.
