Nic Fanciulli – La Luna [Saved]

GRAMMY-nominated DJ and producer Nic Fanciulli marks twenty years of his influential label Saved Records with an international headline tour and the release of his new single ‘La Luna’. Tour tickets are available now, coinciding with the release of ‘La Luna’. The single is the first from an upcoming Saved compilation, highlighting the label’s past, present, and future – true to its groove-focused philosophy.

In the months since his previous Saved release ‘Blessed’ with Black Circle, standout DJ sets from Nic Fanciulli’s summer include playing for Jamie Jones’ and Dom Dolla’s residencies in Ibiza. The powerhouse DJ and producer then teased a series of his upcoming tracks to the packed crowd at iconic discotheque Barbarella’s during Defected Croatia 2025, including this latest headsy cut ‘La Luna’; a summery house mover with undeniable groove, ‘La Luna’ spotlights playful synths and ethereal toplines to bring dancefloors together in ecstasy.

“We built Saved because no one would sign our records, and it became a home for new artists,” says Fanciulli. “Two decades on, it’s still about groove-first, dancefloor music I play myself – records I test for weeks before we sign. That’s always been the DNA.”

Road-tested across 2024 and an end-of-night highlight at Fanciulli’s sets, ‘La Luna’ arrives as an emotive, melody-rich closer. “‘La Luna’ isn’t a main-room record; it’s a connection record – an end-of-night moment that sends you home smiling,” he explains. “I’ve been closing with it for a year; it’s one of my favorite records I’ve written.”

The Saved 20 shows embrace the label’s original, stripped-back sensibility: minimal, dark lighting and a simple, immersive look-and-feel, with special guests tied to Saved’s legacy – past contributors and upcoming remixers – rotating across dates. “We’re going back to the original Saved theory – keep it minimal and about the music,” he adds. “Expect a retrospective of key Saved moments alongside brand-new material.”

Launching at London’s storied KOKO on 20^th September, the tour connects intimate, underground-leaning venues and longstanding partners across both sides of the Atlantic: Temple in San Francisco on 10^th October, and Temple in Denver on 17^th October, Gate in Milan on 30^th October, the beloved Space in Miami on 21^stNovember, Spain’s Input in Barcelona on 28th November and The Bassement Club in Madrid on 29^thNovember, followed by December shows at Serum in Chicago on 6^th December, and LA’s Avalon on 27^thDecember. The route emphasizes spaces synonymous with Saved’s DNA – darker, cooler venues where the groove drives and community takes priority.

“America has been absolutely amazing these last few years,” says Fanciulli. “We picked rooms and promoters we love and have history with.”
