When its Sunday night and you coming off a long weekend of music its the ringing from Luca Musto‘s ‘Calling Columbus’ you would want to hear start growing in volume to sooth your mind. The Italian’s Moodfamily release brings us his take on soul, jazz and blues from the dungeons of Berlin.
Opening with a lush ‘Missing Ya’, Luca closes the EP with ‘OG Flex’ that showcases Luca’s ability to create a seemingly formless jazz beat and pull it in tight to keep the dance floor invested. The dark atmospheres allow this release to live during late hours at the club or on introspective Sundays.

In this EP Luca is stepping out of his comfort zone, ripping through the seams of downtempo safety nets and into the uncharted waters of a career’s next level. It’s bold. It’s raw. It’s the sound of an artist refusing to stand still.
“I worked on these tracks early in 2024,” Luca says, “and spent the summer road-testing them across Europe—clubs, festivals, wherever the music could speak. The feedback shaped the final version of each song, turning good ideas into great ones.” You can hear it in the details. Each beat is a story. Each melody, a confession.
Luca has been diligent during recent performances at Fusion Festival and Poland’s Summer Contrast Festival alongside Christian Löffler, Oliver Koletzki, Out of Orbit, and Dubfire. While he has also grow a reputation for being dialed in at clubs such as Kater and Beate Uwe.
Luca is not the type to sit back and ride on yesterday’s successes. He’s ditching the comfort of slow-house, shaking off the safety net, and diving headfirst into the unknown. It’s raw, it’s risky, and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed. Luca Musto isn’t just making music; he’s turning the page on himself, one track at a time.
The Moodfamily is made up of a bunch of sonic misfits, tuning freaks and head-bopping adventurers. Their label and the Moodcast has become a gathering place for friends to bond over their selection of well produced soft, deep, organic and progressive house records that bring elegant energy and authentic sonic explorations. Here is Luca Musto’s Moodcast to send you on your way.
