Drop the Lime, (born Luca Venezia) in New York City is an electronic producer and DJ who also runs the dance label Trouble and Bass. Drop the Lime's new material and DJ sets also feature live vocals on original compositions. He occasionally performs under the pseudonym Curses! on Institubes, a French electro label.

Until 2005, Venezia composed mainly breakcore music. He has remained a significant figure in the scene, but in 2005 he moved to a more house-influenced sound. Moreover, in 2008 he changed his focus to more mainstream dance music, remixing tracks for Armand Van Helden, Little Boots, Robyn, Blaqstarr, Moby, Rex the Dog, Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip and Buraka Som Sistema.

His next album will be released early 2010.

Vivian Host describes Venazia's sound as comprising "chopped-up breaks making hairpin turns, breakdowns coming out of nowhere, a foundation of wobbling goblin bass often cut in with tropical, clacking snares", with "enigmatic lyrics in his singularly scratchy, bluesy notes.
