More on Horatio Luna…
“What happens when you apply the sprawling, human energy of live jazz to the mechanical, rhythmic structures of house music?…To listen is to feel Hicks and his trio working it out in real-time, improvising house beats the way they would jazz rhythms. The approach is so intimate that, at times, you feel like you’re in the room, close enough to hear the musicians breathing and shuffling around each other…” - Pitchfork
“Translating the sounds of the dance floor, which was his club rat playground, from house music to drum and bass and mostly broken beat – oh, and just some funky, funky kick drum shit…Using complex and tender bass lines (that seem wild and fantastical) get hooked down in a rhythm section that punches you onto the d’floor. Why would you stand around when the beat is that sweet? Every single person in the room was dancing.” - Chris Gill (RRR)
“…His ever increasing creative output is bold, experimental, jazz fused & fluid in motion. His genius and outright passion highly contagious & inspiring! Melbourne, Australia, the World….. here is an 'absolute musical legend' in the making, & this opportunity to experience his wonder in such an intimate setting, simply cannot be missed!…” DJ JNETT
