Luca Testa has built his career on energy and precision. The Turin-born producer and trained sound engineer has released on Spinnin' Records, Armada and Revealed, played Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival and has been listed in the DJ Mag Top 150 four years in a row. More than one million monthly listeners follow him on Spotify, and with Meritocracy Records he runs his own label. On "New York" he steps into territory few would expect from him.

The record trades the hard edges of the festival stage for the swing of UK garage. Shuffled drums, a rolling bassline and the restless pulse of a city that never switches off. "New York" is built for the moment the lights drop and nobody in the room is ready to go home yet.

At his side stands a name better known from the racetrack. Marco Melandri became 250cc World Champion in 2002, collected 22 Grand Prix wins and finished runner-up to Valentino Rossi in the 2005 MotoGP season. Since the late nineties he has been playing records after the race to let the pressure go, and when he says he is a real DJ and not a famous name on a flyer, "New York" is his answer. Together, Luca Testa and Marco Melandri make their debut on Bootshaus Music.
