About

Lucas Stiglich is a Peruvian composer, producer, researcher and curator working across experimental club music, sound and digital culture.

Their work moves between the dancefloor, the studio, the archive and the research process. Through their solo project DJ Latinchat, Lucas develops a music practice rooted in polyrhythmic percussion, ambient textures and contemporary club forms, often approaching rhythm as a site where memory, displacement, pleasure and cultural translation meet. Their productions draw from South American and Caribbean rhythmic traditions, experimental electronics and club music, while resisting fixed ideas of genre, identity and authenticity. DJ Latinchat has released music on labels like Traaampaaa, NAAFI, Basy Tropikalne and others, collaborated with artists like Entrañas, Lila Tirando a Violeta, 3Phaz and El PLVYBXY, and plays regularly in venues throughout Berlin and the EU.

Alongside their solo work, Lucas is co-curator and producer of Radical Sounds Latin America, a Berlin-based platform and festival for experimental music and sound art, and co-founder of Delírio, a queer Latinx club culture collective organising club nights, workshops and community-oriented cultural programming. Across these contexts, their curatorial work is concerned with diasporic sound practices, experimental scenes, collective infrastructures and the politics of visibility within global music circulation.

Their artistic work has been supported by Musicboard Berlin through the Berlin Stipendium PLUS, as well as Karrieresprungbrett Berlin. Earlier projects in Peru received support from Peru’s Ministry of Culture, Ibermúsicas and PromPerú, including funding connected to record production and international mobility.

Lucas also researches and writes about technology in society, AI and labour, platforms and the social and cultural dimensions of technology.

Across music, research and curatorial practice, Lucas’s work asks how sound, technology and cultural value circulate across borders and contexts, and how experimental practices can open other ways of listening, gathering and producing meaning.
