Press Info:
Berlin-based new-wave and post-punk artist Luca Venezia, aka Curses, channels his long-standing passion for early underground club music through his Tutto Vetro project, an alias that allows him to dive even deeper into the late ’80s and early ’90s iconic soundscapes of Valencia, Frankfurt, and NYC. With Tutto Vetro’s new EP “Trust The Beat”, trance, post-EBM, Detroit techno, and progressive club elements are fused into a raw, emotional, and futuristic sound. With just one previous Tutto Vetro release on Spain’s Megabreakz (Oráculo), Trust the Beat is an exciting development.

This EP marks a return to familiar creative territory for Venezia, whose 2015 “So Strange” EP helped form the foundation of the Curses sound and cement his enduring relationship with the Slow Motion / Wrong Era family.

“Trust The Beat” unfolds across four hypnotizing tracks. A1. “Trust The Beat”, the title track, opens with an energetic, groovy melody and eerily distorted vocals that set its urgent tone. A2. “Wild Things” follows with an instantly dynamic, almost animalistic energy—an intense fusion of vocals and textures that feel both chaotic and harmonious, demanding the listener’s full attention. On the flip side, B1. “Wild Things (Fabrizio Mammarella Remix)” sees Slow Motion co-captain Fabrizio Mammarella deliver a fierce reimagining built on a driving rhythmic foundation. The record culminates in B2. “New Revolution,” an anthemic, ghostly journey carried by blissful pads and rolling, thunderous bass, merging emotional tension with forward momentum.

Lyrically and tonally, the EP seems to call out both the chaos and monotony of life; moments when the world feels overwhelming or uncontrollable. At the same time, this is contrasted by a hopeful invitation to trust oneself, recenter, and take agency. This balance of turbulence and optimism echoes Venezia’s ongoing exploration of the emotional core of underground club culture.

“Trust The Beat” builds on previous work released under the Tutto Vetro alias, including the January 2024 EP No Mercy (Megabreaks III), which pays homage to the revolutionary sound of late-’80s Valencia through breakbeat and electro-driven experimentation. Beyond the project, Curses has remained a consistent force, including a notable 2019 collaboration with Jennifer Cardini on a remix of “Surrender.” With over 100K monthly listeners on Spotify via Curses, Luca Venezia stands as a mainstay of the modern trance, post-EBM, darkwave, and post-punk landscape.

Press Info:
The Making of ElectroGenetic 2 – Nos Da: A Reflection on Memory, Sound, and Sonic Experimentation

Nos Da is both a personal document and an artistic gesture – an album that weaves together memory, family connection, and the creative potential of modular synthesis. At its core is my relationship with my father and the profound effect his record collection had on me. These records were never just sounds – they were portals: to feeling, to texture, to imagined places. I grew up listening to them. In fact, I like to think I started listening before I was even born.

The album’s title, Nos Da, comes from a childhood misunderstanding. Each night, as he tucked me into bed, my father would say “Nos Da” – Welsh for “Good night.” But I misheard it as “no star.” Even so, those words wrapped me in safety. Revisiting that phrase now, I understand what he was really saying. This album is my way of saying it back to him: “Good night, and thank you.”

The final track, ‘Parting’, carries that intention most clearly. After his death, I discovered a vinyl recording he had made in a booth, years before I was born. It was a spoken message for my mother before she left on a long journey. In it, he speaks of love and distance, and of being strong in parting. Hearing his voice again in that moment was deeply moving – and I knew I wanted to bring it into this album. I’ve reframed it – not to interfere with his message to her, but to honour our own relationship. In ‘Parting’, the piece becomes a quiet posthumous conversation between father and son.

Much of this album was made away from my usual studio. Four pieces were composed in a countryside hotel in England, using Eurorack modules like Maths, Mimeophon, Wogglebug, and QPAS. These weren’t being used as conventional sound sources—they were collaborators in sonic unpredictability. I let them speak, and followed where they led.

Six more pieces came to life on a hotel terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea in Greece. I was working with a tiny modular case, just enough to sketch and build. The peaceful, expansive atmosphere shaped the tone and texture of those tracks. A year later, I returned to the same place and created the final two pieces on an iPad – no cables, no patching, just immediacy and flow.

In sum, Nos Da is a record shaped by listening, by remembering, and by a desire to transmit meaning through sound. It is at once intimate and exploratory, fusing modular synthesis with archival audio, analog warmth with digital immediacy. It stands as a sonic farewell, a form of time travel, and a quietly radical act of reconnection across generations.
