About this episode
Luca Lozano shares a mixtape reflecting on his formative years in Berlin's vibrant music scene.
New SPND20 Mixtape in the collection! Welcome @lucalozano 📼 Owner, A+R, artist and designer at @Klasse Wrecks, Luca Lozano has long operated where sound, visual language and attitude intersect.

Woven into a journey that feels loose, curious and alive. For those listening…
