#004 — LUCKY LUBE
Lucky Lube is the pseudonym of Carlo Molino — an Italian-born, Copenhagen-based DJ committed to nursing dance-floor fetishes for hedonism and euphoria. Whether he's burning through trance, breaks or fast-paced diva house, you can always count on Lucky Lube for melodic, bouncy catharsis.
He's also the co-founder of Group Therapy, a series of safer-space-oriented raves, and half of the duo Carlo and Selma. Lucky Lube has as many vibes as he does aliases, but one thing's for sure: he'll kick-start a slippery, rapturous dance-floor — no matter what.
The intention is to give people a taste of what’s been spinning in my head and ears lately. It’s also an homage to the many talented friends and producers I respect and look up to (such as LUXE, Eoin DJ, 131bpm, Bashkka & more), where I’ve mixed their tracks with some classic floor tear-jerkers.
The mood is spiritual mysticism on a hot dance floor when the moon is in Scorpio.
I’ve constructed this mix to recreate the journey of a sweaty dancefloor from start to close in just over an hour.
My style is like my ADHD: cheeky, unpredictable and quick to adapt to a room’s energy.
Genre-wise, it’s rooted in house music with a touch of prog, breaks and 90s infused with gay anthems and a bit of diva & pop.
I started DJing as a means of self-expression and a testament to my love for house music. I am driven by the desire to create spaces truly free from daily societal norms. This is what I strive to do as co-founder of Group Therapy: I’m happiest when at closing hour, someone comes around to tell me, “thank you, this was the first party in town where I felt comfortable dancing naked.” I live for that!
