Aleksandr Lukashevich aka Lucarelli was born and grew up in Minsk, Republic of Belarus. It is not a case where a person grew up in a musical family or something like that. Even the first steps in DJing he did quite late when he was 27 years old. However, music is always of particular importance to Lucarelli. It all started with small bars and a commercial deep house.But very quickly, Lucarelli found the style that completely devoured him. At that moment when he first heard the hypnotic sounds of minimal music something turned upside down in his soul and he gave up in this pleasant captivity and no longer imagines another tandem. Year after year, the skills were getting better and the musical taste was more perfect. At the moment, all Lucarelli are thrown on the unification and development of the domestic electronic scene, a special place in its plans is reserved for Minimal.

Those who know Erik Vehmeyer, Orange County native and Like.Minded regular, often refer to him as a bit of a jack of all trades. Whether he spends his weekends rock climbing in Joshua Tree, diving into the LA underground, or curating renegade desert parties, he is driven to push his love for music to the outreaches of society. Still a very new selector to the scene, Erik learned to mix with just two turntables and a crate of 90s house and breakbeat records in the spring of 2016. While he currently has begun to pull from both digital and analog formats, the (Tangible) tag is used to mark his vinyl-only sets. Though you may find his other sets span a wide variety of styles within the realms of underground house and techno, this set of groovy minimal cuts caters perfectly to the Like.Minded vibe.
