Luke Mandala's fascination with cutting edge sound began at the early age of 13 in the underground electronic scene's of San Francisco and Sacramento, California. After realizing the healing powers of this progressive scene Luke has since devoted the majority of his energy in this portion of this lifetime to intentionally awaken positive possibilities for our universe with mainly audio frequencies.
The global electronic scene's have seen few that have achieved what Luke has at the very early age of 24. Luke owned and teched a 20,000 watt Turbosound sound system from early 2005 until Summer 2008 for the North West United States electronic scene he fell deep in love with. With over 10 years experience with DJing, Organizing events, and running large sound systems, Luke has gained experience with a large variety of dance floors. Luke's favorite dance floors are those of the underground scene, however Luke's style varies to activate many different crowds. Utilizing his unique sensitivity to emotional atmosphere and groove, Luke's sets are a journey carefully guided through many genres and mindsets depending on the crowd yet focused to flow very smoothly with harmonic compatibility, and the groove. Luke has played clubs in Guatemala and has been flown to perform at sacred festivals in Mexico multiple times, he has played at small and large events just about every weekend since he started DJing back in 1998. He has organized intimate bi-monthly dance events of anywhere from 100-400 people almost constantly since 2003 all around the North West of the United States. Since 2008, he has decided to focus more energy towards releasing music and the global electronic scene.
In early 2008 Luke started sharing his original tracks with the world. He has since released tracks on labels such as Definitive (upcoming release), Kindred Sounds Label Group, Cubic Digital, Tarantic, Shiva, Slanted House, Telepathy Digital, Progress, Ambiosphere, etc. With frequent releases Luke is becoming known at an acceptionally fast rate. Well known artists have remixed his tracks such as Kriece (Kindred Sounds Label Group), Tony Thomas (Cubic Records, Shiva Records, Telepathy Digital) Jan Van Lier (Definitive, Teggno) Dj Hal, and the Z-Listers to name a few. The Z-Listers remix of Luke Mandala and Jan Van Lier's track "Sasquatch" reached 54 on the Beatport Electro House Charts. The original track was the second track that Luke Mandala ever released!
Luke has moved forward with his career to launch his first label, Activated Recordings (November 2008) which so far includes artists such as Kriece, Tony Thomas, Jan Van Lier, himself, and others. Check it out here at MySpace.com/ActivatedRecordings

This is what John Acquaviva says about the release:
"West coast meets East coast on Definitive and Beatport this week. Jan van Lier, our main man in California reaches all the way out east to Taurus & Vaggeli from Philly for a top-notch tech house EP with Kid Dub making it truly international by rounding it out with a killer remix . North America has some great producers rising up and as far as I am concerned, these are some of the people you gotta watch and listen out for. Check out their tunes - I am a fan; Perhaps you will become one too? And, as always, show your support for the tracks you like by clicking that buy button!" - John Acquaviva
