Intrvder on SoundBetter

I provide efficient house and techno music production for full tracks, as well as mixing and mastering. When it comes to my production, I always strive to keep it simple, the simpler the better. However, I remain focused on the details and quality of the track as a whole.

My name is Lukas Valencia and I have been in the music industry for the past 10 years and have been working as a dance music producer for 5. I fell in love with the world of dance music in 2019 when I attended my first EDC Las Vegas and I was enthralled with the music and culture that was in front of me. It was at this moment that I knew I wanted dedicate my creative self to becoming a part of this world.
Growing up with music and influences from all different genres, music is embedded in my DNA and has always been a part of my life. I then found my love for the drums and also learned to play different instruments. Played in multiple bands throughout my adolescence and finally attended Audio engineering school after high school.
It was then in 2019, once I graduated, that I was introduced to the world of House and Techno. My creative focused shifted from recording to production, I dove deep into; production, techniques, software, synthesizers, mixing and mastering. So, that leads me to where I am now, actively producing house music and releasing some original music of my own.
Now, I find myself wanting to join in creative collaboration with fellow producers and or vocalists. All I want is to make more of the music that gives others the feeling that I felt back in 2019. Being creative is the one thing that gives my heart and soul purpose and that will never change.
