With so many great DJ's in the world, it seems like there's never enough time to discover them all. This week I'll be introducing an Artist of the Week feature to try to remedy that problem. Every week I'll spotlight one of my favorite DJ's by giving a little background info and listing some of my favorite tracks in the hopes of providing a bit of an Electro-ducation.
Note: this feature is going to be comprised entirely of my opinion and not a definitive list of hits or ranking system. Disagree with me? Make your case in the comments section.
On to the first Artist of the Week profile:
Luke van Scheppingen, aka Laidback Luke, is a Dutch Electro House DJ and Producer. Known for his big, bold sound, Luke is a frequent collaborator with some of the biggest names of electronica, including David Guetta, Steve Angello, Axwell, and Roger Sanchez. LBL has also remixed everyone from Britney Spears to Jay-Z to Coldplay.
In 2009, Luke came in at #27 on DJMag's Top 100 DJ's list, climbing from the #46 position on the previous year's list. After seeing him this year at LIV in Miami during Winter Music Conference, I am confident that 2010 will represent another jump in the rankings for Laidback Luke.
Favorite Productions: Rocking with the Best, Breaking Down the House, Be (with Steve Angello), Show Me Love (with Steve Angello, Ft. Robin S), Leave The World Behind (with Swedish House Mafia, ft. Deborah Cox)
Favorite Remixes: Get Get Down 2008 (by Paul Johnson), I Want You (by Martin Solveig), You Used to Hold Me (by Calvin Harris), Delirious (by David Guetta), Again (by Roger Sanchez)
Studio Albums: Psyched Up (1998), Electronic Satisfaction (2002)
