Laidback Luke is responsible for a string of original productions, most of which carry similar charisma, indistinguishable by his signature sound - from “ Pogo ” to " Dynamo ." This week, Luke is bringing something new (or old) to the table, with his latest remix away from his MixMash imprint. Taking on Wallpaper's "Good 4 It," LBL drifts away from the bulky electro bleeps that he has been sticking to of late to summon the Dutch house that shaped his earliest material. Ironically, Luke "Goes Melbourne" for his throwback stylings this time around. Purchase: Beatport [...]

As the latest European superstar to set-up shop at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino’s recently completed nightclub, LBL's Revolt is set to showcase the Mixmash Records head honcho in a darker light than we have come to expect from his peak time sensibilities.

"Dynamo" is certainly a clash of dance music titans - when Hardwell and Laidback Luke put their heads together, there's no way the result could be anything short of destructive. Mixmash previewed the track a few weeks back, but now only days before its release (April 22nd), they've also released the official music video. As the forceful electro beats stab on and trancey synth pads take control, watch a full display of machinery and mechanisms - it's almost like reading a copy of The Way Things Work. [...]

King Tubby, the father of dub music, once famously stated: “Roots music is creative music… It’s original. It comes from the heart. If you want to create a different sound, you create that different sound.” Using his custom mixing deck, Tubby became one of Jamaica's biggest celebrities during the 1970s based on the success of his larger soundsystem and the progressive production work he had done with the country's popular artists. Fast-forward four decades and Major Lazer , the fictional Jamaican commando made famous by Diplo and current partners Jillionaire and Walshy Fire, is following a similar trajectory unbeknownst to his devout [...]
