THEMMIX012: PLEASURE VOYAGE
Atilla and Szilard came together at a rooftop party in Budapest with a shared passion for exploring diverse music genres, and thus, Pleasure Voyage was born in 2018. Their music selections aim to uncover hidden gems, ranging from Balearic House to Afro-Funk, Deep Disco to Italo, and back.
Recently, they released their latest album, AZZURRO, through the renowned Italian record label Quattro Bambole Music. The album is conceptualized as a week-long vacation in Italy, taking listeners on a harmonious journey from jazzy, slower sessions to an italo-jazzy-house oner, 'Summer Voyage' featuring Done.
Their podcast exudes a dynamic beach-clubby atmosphere that perfectly captures their shared passion and energy for music. The beauty of their output is a testament to the power of connection and collaboration, reminding us that great things can happen when we come together with a shared purpose.
Who is Pleasure Voyage?
Pleasure Voyage consists of Attila Lukacs Jr. and Szilard Prech. Prior to this project, we were involved in various music ventures. With Pleasure Voyage, we embarked on a fresh start, drawing from our collective knowledge and experiences, and we hope that people will appreciate our creative direction with this project.
Where does Pleasure Voyage originate from?
We call Budapest our home. We have a deep affection for the city, especially during summer days, and we enjoy showcasing it through open-air daytime events and sunset parties.
What defines Pleasure Voyage's community?
Our mission is to share captivating music spanning various genres, ranging from balearic and disco to house, all infused with exotic sounds. Our music catalog is exceptionally diverse.
We aspire to have a global reach rather than focusing solely on the local scene. Our music and DJ sets are known for their vibrant and eclectic nature. This approach has resonated with audiences worldwide, as we receive messages from fans and DJs who play our music in places like Indonesia, New York, and Ibiza. It's an incredible feeling, and we hope to visit these locations in the near future and deliver a memorable DJ set for the wonderful people there.
How does your work reflect your identities and backgrounds?
Our music is primarily influenced by our travels and other hobbies. We draw inspiration from our experiences by the seaside, but Szilard enjoys hiking in places like the Dolomites, Alps, and Nepal, as well as soaking up the sun in destinations like Dubai, Brazil, or Miami Beach. Attila, on the other hand, is passionate about surf-skating and road cycling in his local area. He also captures captivating moments while surfing in the Canary Islands and admiring the enchanting ocean. These adventures and memories serve as a wellspring of inspiration for creating new Pleasure Voyage tunes.
