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. 🖤

Introversion delivers a powerful five-tracker on FJAAK's CROWD with 'Ghost Rockets', pushing his signature blend of gritty textures, stripped-down rhythms and emotional weight even further.
Known for fusing 90s-rooted techno with contemporary clarity, Introversion opens the EP with 'Lights', a track that rides a relentless hardgroove rhythm before lifting off into an epic, melodic climax made for big rooms and peak-time moments. The title track 'Ghost Rockets' follows with the unmistakable CROWD signature: rolling, minimalistic grooves anchored by Detroit-inspired synth stabs and tense, driving percussion. On the B-side, 'Visitors' starts deep and atmospheric, slowly morphing into a propulsive, forward-pushing roller that balances subtlety and pressure. On 'Hessdalen' things take a darker turn: A menacing groove emerges, led by evil synth stabs that march with precision through a hypnotic, unrelenting beat. The EP closes with 'Wow-Signal', a digital-only track that begins with a long robotic intro, building tension before unfolding into a groovy, nerdy banger loaded with synthetic detail and energy.
Introversion's 'Ghost Rockets' EP is a high-impact release that balances floor power with intricate design, being a perfect fit for both deep club nights and peak festival moments. The Berliner will present the release as part of the CROWD Showcase along with label-heads FJAAK on November 29th at Gewölbe in Cologne - make sure to be there in the first row!
