The talented up and coming Italian DJ/Producer, was born and raised on a small island named Ischia in the Gulf of Naples.

When asked to explain his favourite type of music, Luca responds, "any music that gives me emotions and feelings, for me, music is an art-form". In addition to producing under his name, Luca has also released works under different project names: When is dark, Aenaria, Vibe junction, Eugenie, Vesdino and Against the grain on Labels such as: Sony, Universal, Edel, Renaissance, Bedrock, Stereo, Kaos.

Every artist knows how difficult it is to get someone to listen to their work when your name is not established yet. The main goal of Aenaria Recordings is to help new talent on their quest to get their work heard and establish that name for themselves. Luca travels all over the world as a dj and he knows there is a lot of talent out there, eagerly searching for an open door in the music industry.
Aenaria Recordings aims to be a stepping stone for young talent and a positive outlet for people that share the same passion: music!

All releases of Aenaria Recordings will be distributed world wide and will be available on digital downloads at several platforms.
MORE INFO
The interior of the old booking office at Seer Green & Jordans which was demolished in 2003. Note the original lockable drawers for Edmondson tickets (bottom left). The building was subsiding quite badly. The large black cabinet (top right) may look as if it is leaning to the left but it is actually perfectly level - it is the building that is not straight. 12th March 2003.
Aladin Commend exposed his drawings and paintings at Gallerie Contrecontre in St. Maurice, Switzerland, from April 19th to May 12, 2018.
We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

LOS MEJORES FESTIVALES GASTRONÓMICOS QUE SE CELEBRAN ESTE VERANO EN EUROPA
¿Eres de los que busca satisfacer a su paladar dándole a probar sabrosos platos? Entonces puede que te interesen estos festivales gastronómicos que te harán disfrutar al máximo de los meses de verano. Puede que los festivales musicales sean los que atraen a más personas, pero los hay de muchos tipos diferentes. Culturales, artísticos, de la cerveza y por supuesto, gastronómicos. Es de estos últimos de los que vamos a hablar en los próximos párrafos, porque también son muchos los interesados en ellos. La cosa es que estos festivales gastronómicos son una gran forma de invertir las vacaciones, sobre todo para los amantes de la comida. Hay quienes se mueven por el rugir de su estómago, quienes disfrutan deleitando a su paladar con platos sabrosos y otros que simplemente creen que ésta es una buena forma de descubrir culturas. Así es, la comida sirve para descubrir culturas y conocer mejor a otros pueblos lejanos al nuestro. Y eso se puede hacer en los festivales gastronómicos, donde se pueden degustar platos típicos del lugar en el que se celebren, hechos con productos propios en muchos casos. Por supuesto, son muchos los festivales gastronómicos entre los que elegir, aunque no tantos los que tienen lugar en verano. Pese a eso, hemos recopilado unos cuántos, para que puedas buscar en la lista cuál es el más apropiado a tu gustos y tiempo. ¿Preparados? Comenzamos.
FESTIVAL DEL MARISCO DE DORSET, WEYMOUTH. Los días 14 y 15 de julio tendrá lugar en esta ciudad que se sitúa en una bahía del Canal de la Macha el Festival del marisco de Dorset. Durante estos días, se pueden probar muchísimos platos diferentes hechos todos con marisco y a buen precio. En total, casi 100 puestos nos ofrecerán sus mejores recetas.
FESTIVAL DE LA SARDINA, PORTIMÃO. En este rincón de Portugal dará comienzo el día 1 de agosto de 2018 el Festival Anual de la Sardina. Este pescado es abundante en la zona y durante unos días, los portugueses preparan platos ricos para que sean probados por los asistentes. La sardina a la parrilla suele ir acompañada de patatas, pimientos y vino tinto. Pero, además, se puede disfrutar de música, un castillo de fuegos artificiales y productos artesanales.
FESTIVAL DE LA GASTRONOMÍA SUIZA, ZERMATT. Aunque en casi todas las ciudades suizas se celebran festivales gastronómicos callejeros, éste de Zermatt es uno de los más importantes celebrados en verano. Este 2018 será el día 17 de agosto cuando dé comienzo este festival que dura tres días. Será entonces cuando los mejores chefs de la zona, incluidos algunos que poseen estrellas Michelin en sus restaurantes, cocinarán con esmero para los asistentes platos autóctonos.
FESTIVAL DE COCINA Y GASTRONOMÍA DE COPENHAGUE, COPENHAGUE. Entre los días 24 de agosto y 2 de septiembre se celebrará uno de los mayores festivales gastronómicos europeos en la capital danesa. Y es que ésta está considerada la Capital Mundial de la Cocina, dada la categoría de sus chefs. Durante toda una semana, todos quienes quieran podrán asistir y probar la mejor comida danesa que tendrán el gusto de comer. Toda una delicia para el paladar y para la memoria.
Te llevamos a conocer Suiza y Portugal, reservando ya en booking.mamutrip.com o a través de mamutrip.com.ar/

Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.
Froghall Station booking office | 27th June 2015

We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.

The Rebirth of Kings Cross Station to sit alongside the masterpiece that is the new St Pancras Station next door reached a milestone this week. The new booking office opened to the public with it's spectacular lattice roof. Built on the side to enable the mish mash of postwar additions at the front to be finally swept away to reveal the original frontage it's impressive indeed. The refurbishing of the main station itself is also coming along with resurfaced platforms, cleaned ironwork and brickwork, a new footbridge and new glazing in the cleaned overall roofs (complete with Solar Panels!) making the station look almost new.
