Luke Hess
[Beretta Grey / FXHE / Kontra-Musik / Modelisme / Echocord Colour / Gravid Digital]
Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement.
His background in mathematics and engineering have given him a scientific approach to the dance floor. His music production has landed him a seat with Beretta Music and FXHE in Detroit, Kontra-Musik in Sweden, Modelisme Records in France, and Echocord Colour in Denmark. His first release on FXHE made it into the top 50 releases of the year in 2007 in Groove Magazine.
With 8 years of DJ experience, he is regarded as a perfectionist behind the decks, layering records in a very detailed and hypnotic manner.
Luke has notable mixes online and in 2003 recorded a promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge.
Luke's involvement in a project called Reference (Luke Hess & Brian Kage) is one of Detroit's best kept collaborative secrets. Look out for their limited Reference EP on Beretta Grey with Tadeo remix and their upcoming VS LP in September 2008.
You'll also find upcoming joint releases and collaborations with partner in dub Marko Furstenberg, including "Campfire Dialogue" on Echocord Colour 02.
Luke’s continued hard work behind the decks and in the studio combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.
