Lucius first began his journey into sound much the same as everyone, allowing the ear of intuition to guide him through the incredible tapestry of music available to us, playing piano classics at 6 to listening to first wave of electro boogaloo on 7 inch vinyl by age 7, Lucius soon developed a keen ear covering a broad range of music. The infatuation with music never stopped. Also many years of Lucius father bashing away on the piano served as inspiration for building great piano skills which he took on in the form of classical titles at the age of 7. The year was 1990 when Lucius was invigorated by pirate radio stations & huge underground events that heaved with the cosmic onslaught of strange shamanic awakenings that took the world by storm. There was something significant about this period, where the possibilities had opened up to allow something raw, tribal, edgy & infectious to come back into the lives of so many souls. At this time Lucius was on the other side of the fence looking in & soaking up the vibe. It's wasn't till 1994 when Lucius moved across the south coast to embark on higher education that he once again became the performer. After witnessing some of the greatest turntable talents & comparing this with the time spent deeply unimpressed by commercial clubs offerings Lucius decided it was time to go for gold with a set technics 1210's & armed with a collection of vinyl that unbeknown to Lucius would be the start of a trip like fear & loathing in LA & human traffic rolled into one. As time went by more & more parties, gigs & events took place as everyone experienced a big appetite for the bold new sounds that were emerging. Lucius enjoyed many incredible day's & nights smashing up dance floors with cutting edge sounds to keep the best crowds deeply involved in the process of letting go of accepted reality. Many great specialist events grew out of this work such as The VURT, Geushky, Sunday Sessions, Nocturnal Emissions to name a few & spotting a few radio slots at that time. Lucius played his first hand at developing & providing input to projects with the Binary Finery team before things got complicated and shortly after Binary Finery experienced their first great success with the renowned 1998 Trance smasher of a tune that went down as 16th biggest dance tune of all time in Mix Mag. In 1997 lucius moved on the Brighton with the new family & continued to concentrate on productions & DJ'ing as well as holding down a software engineering job during the day. The daily grind made Lucius keen to keep focused on the production & creative process where possible. At this point he found him self DJ'ing with the high energy productions & writing across all genre with artistic freedom. Over the next 10 years Lucius broke several new technologies onto the business communications market, delivered guidance & specialist consultancy to key government & Internet service providers across the globe, built the next generation media delivery platforms such BBC iPlayer, built next generation digital production suite, using next generation cloud delivery & broadcast services & produced the two epic sounding downbeat albums. With both the Five Ages of Humanity & Downbeat Mysteries albums released on key dates to celebrate the majesty of the world through provocative sound scape & emotive textures combined with rolling beats. Lucius is true to the name & you feel a light from great depths in his music as well as his presence. It is clear that Lucius has something special to bring to the table when it comes to both his productions & DJ performances & it is only a matter of time before wide scale consumption of Lucius pioneering art is acknowledged by the masses. |
