About Luciano
Luciano is the alias of Lucien Nicolet, born in Switzerland in 1978 to a Swiss father and a Chilean mother. He moved to Santiago as a child, started DJing in his mid-teens, and helped build the city's minimal techno scene in the late 1990s before leaving for Europe.
He co-founded the label Cadenza with Philippe Quenum, and albums including 'No Model No Tool' and 'Tribute to the Sun' came out there. His sets moved from minimal into house and tech house with a strong pull from Latin American music, and Ibiza became his base through Cocoon's Monday nights at Amnesia and a residency at DC10. He has won Best Tech House DJ at the DJ Awards five times.
