Luca Curcio is an Italian-born bassist, composer, producer, and improviser based between Berlin and Copenhagen, performing and producing across Europe. His music merges improvisation, sampling, and deep rhythmic exploration, inspired by the groove and improvisational traditions that shaped contemporary music, from Charles Mingus and Charlie Haden to A Tribe Called Quest, Gnawa trance musicians, and experimental producers like Flying Lotus — shaping a raw, rhythm-forward sound that transcends genre boundaries.

Curcio leads La BOMBA, a project that channels high-energy, groove-driven improvisation through rhythmically focused compositions, sample-based textures, and raw, physical interplay. His solo project B.I.A.S (The Bass Is A Spaceship) pushes the sonic and rhythmic limits of the electric bass using circular sampling, micro-rhythmic transformations, and electronics. Beyond his own bands, Curcio is a key member of several European cutting edge projects such Mané Fernandes’ Enter the Squigg and in Igor Osypov’s Hyper Oz among others.
