New SPND20 Mixtape in the collection! Welcome @lucalozano 📼
Owner, A+R, artist and designer at @Klasse Wrecks, Luca Lozano has long operated where sound, visual language and attitude intersect. With releases on his own label, Sex Tags UFO, Phantasy Sound, Hypercolour, Running Back and beyond, plus his visual universe as planetluke.com, his work has always resisted neat categories, favoring character over convention.
For this SPND20 Mixtape, Luca looks back to formative years in Berlin. New Year’s nights at Arena Berlin in 2004/05, musically the city was a melting pop of minimal, tech house and electro. Genres were undefined and there was a playfulness to the music, a wonky glacial cleanness to the funky grooves. It was an exciting and uncynical time and things felt undiscovered and exciting. It’s also where early connections with FJAAK took shape: studio visits in Neukölln, laptops full of sketches, ideas still embryonic.✨
That spirit runs through the mix. Luca revisits sounds and labels that once shaped him - acid lines, playful grooves, found again in the neglected corners of his own record bag. Woven into a journey that feels loose, curious and alive. For those listening closely, the closing moments hold a special nod to the shared history between FJAAK and Klasse Wrecks.
A mix rooted in memory, made for movement. 🖤

With the Scratch EP, Scottish techno powerhouse Gary Beck delivers four razor-sharp cuts that bring raw energy and dancefloor pressure to FJAAK’s label CROWD. Known for his unmistakable grooves and stripped-down power, Beck presents a no-frills EP that bridges classic techno aesthetics with forward momentum.
Opening with the single ‘French System’, the EP kicks off in full throttle. It’s a propulsive roller built around tough drums, catchy synths, a female vocal leading the way and Beck’s signature percussive tension. Title track ‘Scratch’ follows with a twitchy, angular rhythm that spirals around a fragmented vocal motif and bold machine-funk energy with tense breaks leading to ecstatic drops.
On the record’s flip side, ‘How Do You Feel’ keeps the level high, fusing jacking rhythms with a funky vocal and a Beck’s heavy signature kicks. Finally, ‘Eclipse’ closes the EP pushing the energy into darker territories with relentless drive, its distorted pulse and industrial edge.
This release marks a fierce debut on CROWD for Gary Beck – four no-nonsense weapons crafted for peak-time moments and the rawer corners of the club. A heavy-hitting addition to the label’s catalog and a must-have for techno selectors with a taste for precision and punch.
