New single for Luca Trevisi with his alias LTJ Xperience.
Entitled Running In Circle, the song musically follows the Nu Disco sounds that have characterized the productions of LTJ Xperience in recent years and its featuring the South American singer Black Sosa.
The single comes out in a limited edition mix on light blue vinyl and features on the B side a remastered version of the classic I Don't Want This Groove To Ever End which has long been unavailable on the vinyl market.
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 the time, 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 Groove movements. His first single release in 1988, titled First Job, together with Kekkotronics, was also the first release ever on Bologna based Irma Records. It was featured in a lot of compilations of the time and entered several playlists, rapidly reaching cult status for many 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 Bossa Nostra, still today one of Irma Records main acts. Their first album had Vicky Anderson as special guest and today is still considered one of the most important European acid jazz albums. In the following years he concentrated on developing his activity as collector and rare vinyl merchant, which gave him the chance to get in touch with djs from all over the World and to discover many forgotten gems 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 and Jazz Café in London, Giant Step in New York and Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. In 1999 saw the release of his first solo album under the LTJ Xperience moniker. The album was produced with the collaboration of fellow Irma artist and producer Ohm Guru and had Taka Boom and Jackson Sloan among the guests. Two of the main tracks on the album are brazil house classic Sombre Guitar 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 participation of the historic Spanish-American singer Joe Bataan), and the recents singles as ORGAN MIND / I LOVE YOU (favorite track by Larry Heard ) & ON THE FLOOR / SOUND MACHINE, LTJ is devoted almost exclusively to re-edit and reconstruct tracks from the past with the 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 with international labels such as Far Out Recordings, Sleazy Beats, Future Classics, E.A.R. Music For Dreams, Apersonal Music, Roam Recordings, !K7.
The latest five CDs on the Irma label “I Don’t Want This Groove To Ever End” (2012), “Ain’t Nothing But A Groove” (2013), “Don’t Let The System Get You Down” (2015), “Beggar Groove” (2017) and “Deepening Of A Groove’ (2019)show the funkiest and grooviest side of LTJ !

Nuovo singolo per Luca Trevisi con il suo alias LTJ Xperience.
Dal titolo Running In Circle, il brano segue musicalmente le sonorità Nu Disco che hanno caratterizzato le produzioni di LTJ Xperience degli ultimi anni e vedono la partecipazione del cantante sudamericano Black Sosa.
Il singolo esce in tiratura limitata mix in vinile azzurro e vede sul lato B una versione remasterizzata del classico I Don’t Want This Groove To Ever End da tempo non disponibile sul mercato del vinile.
Luca LTJ Trevisi (LTJ X-perience) si forma come dj produttore alla fine degli anni ‘80. Residente prima al Kinki Club di Bologna e poi al Cap Creus di Imola, è uno dei primi dj italiani a programmare musica House e soprattutto a riproporre tutti quei particolari brani degli anni ‘70 di black music, jazz e latinbossa che poi nel tempo hanno dato il via al genere Acid Jazz e Rare Grooves.
Dalla seconda metà degli anni '90 inizia il suo lavoro di produttore di gruppi acid jazz tra i quali il più importante è quello dei Bossa Nostra. Il primo album del gruppo, dove partecipa come ospite speciale Vicki Anderson (una delle storiche cantanti di James Brown) è da molti considerato uno dei più importanti album di acid jazz europea.
Negli anni la sua attività di dj viene affiancata a quella di collezionista e rivenditore di dischi rari il che lo porta a entrare in contatto con i dj di tutto il mondo e a scoprire perle dimenticate della musica degli anni passati.
Questa sua ricerca ha trovato sfogo nella sua fortunate serie di compilations di rare grooves Groovy e Suono Libero.
In quegli anni inizia anche la sua attività di dj internazionale che lo vede suonare in giro per il mondo. Tra i locali più importanti LTJ ha suonato al Blue Note e al Jazz Café di Londra, al Giant Steps di New York e al Jazz Festival di Montreaux.
Nel 1999 esce il primo album come solista a nome LTJ X-perience. L’album si avvale della collaborazione dell’artista e produttore Ohm Guru e vede tra gli ospiti vocali la presenza di Taka Boom e Jackson Sloan. Tra i brani più importanti dell’album la cover di Sombre Guitar, ancora oggi una hit del genere brasilhouse, e soprattutto il brano che da il titolo all’album Moon Beat che diventa una vera e propria hit del genere Chill Out entrando in decine di compilations importantissime.
Dopo aver realizzato numerevoli produzioni per l'Irma Records, tra cui il secondo album When The Rain Begun To Falls (che vede la partecipazione dello storico cantante ispanoamericano Joe Bataan), singoli come ORGAN MIND / I LOVE YOU (traccia favorita da Larry Heard) & ON THE FLOOR / SOUND MACHINE, LTJ si dedica quasi esclusivamente a rieditare e a ricostruire brani del passato con aggiunte di suoni e ritmiche in post produzione per etichette come SUPER VALUE , SMALL WORLD DISCO, HOT GROOVY RECORDS, OH CRISTO! aumentando così le produzioni di questo genere musicale che attualmente si definisce Nu Disco, collaborando anche con etichette internazionali come ad esempio Far Out Recordings, Sleazy Beats, Future Classics, E.A.R., Music For Dreams, Apersonal Music, iK7
Gli ultimi 5 CD realizzati su Irma “I Don’t Want This Groove To Ever End” (2012), “Ain’t Nothing But A Groove” (2013), “ Don’t Let The System Get You Down” (2015) e “Beggar Groove” (2017) e “Deepening Of A Groove”(2019) evidenziano il lato più funk e groove di LTJ.
Negli ultimi anni LTJ ha veramente girato il mondo portando le sue performance come deejay tra i festival più importanti del genere come: Scottish Soul Weekender (Dumfries, Scozia), Mareh Festival (Boipeba Island, Brasile), Garden Festival (Tisno, Croazia), Jazz Refound Festival (Vercelli)
e toccando città come: Tel Aviv, Skopje(Macedonia), Belfast e Derry (Irlanda), Londra, New York, Berlino, Bucarest, Amsterdam, Parigi, Marsiglia, Barcellona, Vilnius (Lituania).
