LUKE ALESSI

"A fine balance between ruthless functionality and experimentalism," is how Luke Alessi describes his current creative output. Drawing influence from a wide range of styles, Luke's music defies conventional genre boundaries. By blending elements of house, disco, afro, and electro, he crafts a unique soundscape with bending synth lines, earworm hooks, and an irresistible underlying groove that keeps dancers locked on the floor.

Luke’s productions have reached global audiences, finding homes on the world’s most renowned dance floors. His releases with labels like Rose Avenue Records, Life & Death, Watergate, and Buttress have solidified his reputation, earning collaborations and support from icons such as Chloé Caillet, DJ Tennis, and RÜFÜS DU SOL.

In 2024, Luke Alessi debuted in new cities across North America, Canada, Mexico, Asia, and Europe, performing at iconic venues such as Space Miami, The Brooklyn Mirage NYC, Sound Los Angeles, Factory Town Miami, Else Klub Berlin, and more.

The latter half of the year saw Luke take on major festivals, including Portola Festival San Francisco, CRSSD Festival San Diego, and Pacha Ibiza, before returning home to headline at Strawberry Fields and support Solomun at the legendary Wool Store. He capped the year with an electrifying performance at the Beyond The Valley dance dome.

Late 2024 marked the release of Luke's highly anticipated track, "After Five," on Life & Death. Quickly becoming a global dancefloor staple, the track was championed by top-tier DJs and introduced Luke’s music to a fresh wave of fans. This success was followed by a Pablo Bozzi remix and a vinyl release.

Another standout moment was "Feel At Home," his second collaboration with longtime friend Chloé Caillet. Already generating massive buzz online, the track gained momentum thanks to Chris Stussy’s early support. Upcoming remixes for Emma B, LP Giobbi, and Kino Todo are set to keep Luke at the forefront of the dance music scene.

In 2024, Luke launched notwithoutfriends, a side project with collaborators William Kiss and Jordan Brando. This project released two EP volumes on Rose Avenue and hosted the first of many pop-up events. More than just a musical endeavor, notwithoutfriends serves as a creative hub for open collaboration—musically and artistically—with an extended circle of friends.

The collective’s energy is palpable, resonating in every element of the project and bringing a unique vibrancy to the dancefloor.

Luke Alessi’s relentless drive and genre-defying creativity continue to push boundaries, ensuring his music remains a staple on dancefloors worldwide.
