About Me
Dj. Luca Montecchi, birth name Vladimir Miro Pausic, born on 13th, February 1970 in Zadar (Croatia). Lives in Opatija, a very well known tourist destination on the Croatian northern Adriatic coast.
At the age of five he received his first turntable, and enough records to satisfy his needs at the time, from his parents. Spending a lot of time with his mother and grandmother builds his musical foundations. His first steps in d.j.-ing came as he worked at the school party's, and later starting a band with some friends. After ..The Beatles.. and similar musical extracurricular phases he turns his attention to dance rhythms.
..Fearfully I approached the discotheque entrances hoping to get in.., and once in his eyes would be right away on the d.j. Console. Interestingly enough, right on that d.j. Console, in ex discotheque ..Madonna.. he had his first 15 minute performance, arranged by the resident d.j. and later on his friend and colleague for years to come. The year was 1987.
The first resident job happened in 1988, in the ..M&M.. discotheque and lasted until the departure for the army service. The return from the army was as he would find out a great crossroad: university, d.j.-ing, ..normal.. job!? But old love towards turntables wouldn't fade away, and a break came in 1989, a chance to work in the legendary ..Milde Sorte.. disco. Two years on he moves to ..Madonna..and reaches the peak of his career as a amateur d.j.
In years to come he worked as resident and guest d.j., radio d.j., music director and host.
Since y2k he is resident in a very popular discotheque ..Crossroad.. situated in Malinska on the island Krk, were he successfully organises party's, and happenings. .. I love this job, and I'll keep doing it until it gives me satisfaction.. he'll tell if asked. Musically his views are very broad, and likes to say: ..What I see pleases the crowd I´ll play...
These days he travels a lot and performs in various clubs in Croatia and abroad, and gets much more involved with production of electronic music. His latest singles, ..Summer with my d.j... featuring guest vocal by Diana Kay and ..Night city.. featuring a young singer Sabrina, can be frequently heard on radio program and d.j. sets. Luca owns the label and booking agency ..Nota.., with headquarters in Opatija
In his long career he played with the likes of Eddie Amador, Jamie Lewis, Layo & Bushwacka, Prezioso and Marvin, Umek, Marc Spoon, Valentino Kanzyani, dj Chus, dr Kucho, dj Rush, Sarah Main, Marshal Jefferson, Ian Pooley, Unconditional, Bily Moore, Stefano Noferini, Silvano Delgado and many other.
The style is mostly ..Happy House.., funky, groove d.j. with frequent vocals, orientated towards Italy it has Italian flavour, with time and various influences transformed in relaxed personal.
