Summary: Xan Lucero is back with his third edition in his Love Sessions series for our mixtape #101. Summer is just around the corner and to Xan that means one thing. Drums and techno, so that’s what he gave us on this one! Inside are the tracks that he is really feeling right now and has been hammering the Northwest with. He has been crazy busy DJing with his brothers in sound and Northwest legends Karl Kamakahi and Brian Lyons of the famed Flammable and De la Crème brands , and recently joined forces with Jeff Booher of the Classcadia brand to both DJ and help in the event execution area. Quite the busy chap, he is still finding time to lend a hand in the A&R department for upcoming techno label INHALE MUSIC, and is looking to set aside some serious studio time for himself over the summer to nail down a few releases of his own by fall. If you are in the Seattle area over the next few months , then you can catch him on the following dates: 5/19 @the Baltic room 5/25 @ the Woods 5/30 @ The Last Supper Club 6/7 @ the Electric Tea Garden 6/23 @ Flammable 6/30 @ Classcadia 7/7 @the Electric Tea Garden 9/8 on the Islander (boat) And keep a look out for many dates in between that are in the works. As always, the future looks bright for Xan as he gets to play alongside some of his favorite names such as Manik , Pezzner , Laura Jones, Lee Foss, Gavin Herlihy , Craig Richards , and absolute legend and innovator , Francois K , on some of his upcoming dates . With all of this on his plate Xan’s biggest hopes for the summer are to find time to get back to the Midwest to play and Disco with all of his favorite peeps, and more importantly his U:MOVE family . So keep your ear to the streets for some Control Freeks dates to be popping up shortly!
