Laurent a huge welcome back to DMCWORLD, where on planet earth are you today?

Thanks a lot, pleasure to be back. At the moment I’m at home , in Hossegor, France.

The best piece of new music you have heard today since rolling out of bed?

Not brand new, but I’ve listened to Busy P feat Mayer Hawthorne’s “Genie”

The summer is around the corner and you are warming up the dancefloor nicely thanks to your brand new tune ‘Won’t Stop’ featuring Kelli-Leigh. Please talk us through the sound and history of the tune…

The funny thing with this track is that I started it in an airport, after missing my flight. I’ve done the organic part of the music there, and the synths back at my studio couple of days after. I had a studio session planned in London some weeks after with Kelli Leigh, so I brought the instrumental and we did the vocal in a couple of hours.

We were in the crowd at your recent FAUST show in Paris, a proper rave up! What is the club and music scene like in Paris at the moment?

I don’t live in Paris anymore, but I really love to play there. I think the scene is going well at the moment, with lots of great venues. It still feels like my home.

We hear you have been swimming with dolphins recently? What’s all that about?

Yes, I was in Dubai and I got offered a private swimming session with two dolphins. I wanted to do this for such a long time, it was amazing.

It’s all about the break and the build-up…

You were over in the States a few week back, your fans adore you over there. How are things progressing musically in the US right now, the scene seems to be heading in lots of great directions?

Seems like electronic music is doing good in the US. Love to play there! And looking forward for my next tour in July.
