Grammy-nominated DJ/producer Nic Fanciulli marks two decades of his influential label Saved Records with an international headline tour and the release of his new single, “La Luna.” Tour tickets go on sale Friday, September 5, and the single is now available to pre-save. “La Luna” is the first track from an upcoming Saved Records compilation, spotlighting the label’s past, present, and future, all rooted in its groove-focused philosophy.
“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 throughout 2024 and a highlight of Fanciulli’s sets, “La Luna” is 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. I’ve been closing with it for a year; it’s one of my favorite records I’ve written,” he explains.
The Saved 20 shows embrace the label’s original, stripped-back sensibility: minimal, dark lighting and a simple, immersive atmosphere. Special guests tied to Saved Records’ legacy—past contributors and upcoming remixers—will rotate across dates. “We’re going back to the original Saved theory—keep it minimal and about the music. Expect a retrospective of key Saved moments alongside brand-new material,” adds Fanciulli.
The tour launches at London’s KOKO on September 20, connecting intimate, underground-leaning venues and longtime partners across both sides of the Atlantic: Temple in San Francisco on October 10 and in Denver on October 17, Gate in Milan on October 30, Space in Miami on November 21, Input in Barcelona on November 28, Bassement in Madrid on November 29, followed by December shows at Serum in Chicago on December 6, and Avalon in Los Angeles on December 27. The route emphasizes venues synonymous with Saved Records’ DNA—darker, cooler spaces where 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.”
Launched as a home for music overlooked by other labels, Saved Records evolved into an incubator for emerging talent while remaining steadfastly dancefloor-focused. Over twenty years, the imprint has championed future-defining artists and remixes, always ensuring that every release passes the ultimate test: does it move the floor?
