His time is right around the corner and soon you will be hearing the music of Lucius.
Luke Harrison, known as Lucius “Loopy Luke” in the world of electronic downbeat music, has a innovative new CD out titled The Five Ages of Humanity. The title is very prolific and the music, sound loops, and voice tracks you will hear tie in with the title in a most definitive way.
While Lucius has made a name for himself in the U.K., the time could not be better to breakthrough in the U.S. With the release of The Five Ages of Humanity, this becomes more of a reality with each passing day. Lucius says, “I really believe that quality infectious sounds reach into us and provokes the most humane parts of our distinction. When I find something really good and special the first thing I want to do is share it with those ready to listen.” This motif and vital form of expressionism through music and sound has endeared him to people seeking something different for entertainment, a sound that is on the cutting edge of today’s mindset. He has come a long way from being a DJ and his destiny awaits him with a new audience primed and ready for discovery.
You will find many things to relate to on The Five Ages of Humanity, John F. Kennedy giving a speech, voice tracks from science fiction movies, and much more. This comes at you in between rhythmic and pulsating beats and ambient keyboard excursions. Electronic music is no different than other genres, it has to prove it itself over and over again and artists like Lucius do just that with a high level of ingenuity and creativity manipulating sounds, instruments and voices to create a beautiful and consistently exciting soundtrack to life.
His time is right around the corner and soon you will be hearing the music of Lucius in not only your hottest nightspots but also pouring out from car speakers, music stores, and home stereos. Its not music for just anyone it is for everyone. Call it music for today or the new millennium, whatever fits for you, the bottom line is that this chill out groove is something you not will be able to resist.

OneMusic said: "Darker and deeper. That's what Luke's new direction seems to be and it's very good indeed. Verging on the deep techno side of dance currently favoured by Layo & Bushwacka, it would be good to see them get their hands on some of this."

definately another step in the right direction for this life time free party and Psychadelic scene member. Given music another edge to be judged by - well ahead of its time!!!

Bio
First hit the music scene with events, DJ’ing & supporting parties back in the grand old days of University around 1994. This all took place in Portsmouth which turned into one good place to party with regular events like Vurt, Geushky, Sunday Sessions, Nocturnal Emmisions to name a few and the occasional slot on PURE FM that broadcast from Portsmouth. This and a few top out door parties all around UK topped with a blessing of house parties made the recipe for a way of life for Loopy Luke. “My interests in music seem to embrace a widening spectrum of the industry as I played my first hand working with the Binary Finery team,
Shortly after that Luke began a separate journey further into sound engineering, digital audio production and writing.
”My commitments in life had changed at this point I had become a father and was engaged with programming during the day and most evenings which left little time for anything else, this was when I worked and researched on what the next projects would be during this ever changing journey through life".
To this day I have been developing sound scape and lashing beats in the digital domain, which is a real release for me artistically. Luke has been developing projects with Peshay the Drum & Bass Prodigy which has influenced the direction of several breaks projects. In working with these characters you generally establish something new and some times some thing very special, which is at the essence of anything recieved as a gift.
