Ltj XperienceDEEPENING OF A GROOVE LP 2x12"

Luca LTJ Trevisi (LTJ Xperience) began his dj/producer career in the 80s. As resident dj in two of the most famous Italian clubs of thetime, Kinky in Bologna and Cap Creus in Imola, he was one of the first Italian jocks to spin House and to re-propose those black music,jazz and latin-bossa classics from the 70s that at the end of the same decade would have given birth to the Acid Jazz and Rare Groovemovements. His first single release in 1988, titled First Job, together with Kekkotronics, was also the first release ever on Bolognabased Irma Records. It was featured in a lot of compilations of the time and entered several playlists, rapidly reaching cult status formany UK and US djs. During the early 90s LTJ delivered a couple of singles in a kind of pre-breakbeat style: Dont Stop The Sax, released all over Europe, and Funky Superfly. He also produced US singer Tameka Starrs single Going In Circles, always for Irma Records, still a classic in the downtempo/r&b field. In the second half of the nineties Luca began to produce acid jazz bands like BossaNostra, still today one of Irma Records main acts. Their first album had Vicky Anderson as special guest and today is still consideredone of the most important European acid jazz albums. In the following years he concentrated on developing his activity as collectorand rare vinyl merchant, which gave him the chance to get in touch with djs from all over the World and to discover many forgottengems from the past years. Thanks to this experience he was able to create two extremely successful rarities series on Irma Records:Groovy and Suono Libero. In the meanwhile LTJ started to dj outside Italy too, performing in important venues like the Blue Note andJazz Café in London, Giant Step in New York and Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. In 1999 saw the release of his first soloalbum under the LTJ Xperience moniker. The album was produced with the collaboration of fellow Irma artist and producer Ohm Guruand had Taka Boom and Jackson Sloan among the guests. Two of the main tracks on the album are brazil house classic SombreGuitar and title track Moon Beat, which became a true hit of the Chill Out genre, featured in dozens of important compilations.After making countless productions for Irma Records, including their second album When The Rain Begins To Fall (with the participationof the historic Spanish-American singer Joe Bataan), and the recents singles as ORGAN MIND / I LOVE YOU (favorite track by LarryHeard ) & ON THE FLOOR / SOUND MACHINE, LTJ is devoted almost exclusively to re-edit and reconstruct tracks from the past withthe addition of sounds and rhythms in post production for labels like SUPER VALUE, SMALL WORLD DISCO, HOT GROOVY RECORDS, OH CRISTO! increasing the production of this new musical genre that is currently defined as beatdown/slo-mo, working withinternational labels such as Far Out Recordings, Sleazy Beats, Future Classics, E.A.R.
