      From his formative years in Sheffield to co- founding Manchester's much- fabled Electric Chair with Justin Crawford, through to helming the iconic LGBTQ institutions of Homoelectric/Homobloc, Luke has spent 40 years immersed in dance music.

      His latest outlet, E Soul Cultura, has grown from a label to a globe-spanning events series with Luke holding residencies and embarking on tours across the world from Japan and Australia to America and Europe. "For me, the dancefloor was never about a onedimensional, thudding, 130 BPM beat only. It's a much more dynamic, broader vision than that. I cut my teeth in an era where a 100 BPM record had as much impact, excitement, and energy as a 134 BPM dancefloor jazz funk or techno record", Luke mentions.

      E Soul Cultura Volume 3 is the perfect embodiment of that notion: "It's about four decades in the trenches playing dance music, the late- night afters, the shebeens, the basements, warehouse parties, the eight-hour journeys in East London, through to festival sets at Houghton and We Out Here. It's music unconstrained by genre or tempo and more about making your body move".
