Lapalux Introducing

Often shapeless and lost in mire of light-headedness, Lapalux's music is hard to describe. It's a constantly disintegrating composition of different elements as indebted to hip hop as it is RnB, Dubstep as it is IDM, and Mount Kimbie as it is Flying Lotus. However that, as I don't have to tell you but will anyway, is not necessarily a bad thing. You can decide yourself with Many Faces Out of Focus, his debut EP, out on Pictures Music on April 18th.

When did you start making music?
Way back in the day when I used to play Music the PS1 game. That thing got me started and ever since then I've been making music.

High points so far you as a producer / DJ?
Probably playing a live set at Boiler Room the other night. that was pretty dope.

What is your set up at the moment in terms of software and hardware?
A cassette recorder, Ableton, KRK 5's, couple of microphones, portable recorder and some sick synth toys. I like to keep it simple.

How hard / easy has it been for you getting your tunes noticed by people /other DJs?
It's not been too bad recently. Been on Xfm and Ministry Of Sound and Red Bull radio I think. People seem to dig it quite a bit. I was up on XLR8R the other day and Platform Magazine and Mint Mag amongst other sick sites /blogs. I think it's because it's quite a fresh sound and people are latching onto it at the moment.

Artists that influence you?
I bang on about this guy far too much but Dorine Muraille was a big influence when I was younger. Four Tet, Prefuse 73, Aphex Twin. Staple diet kind of stuff.

Plans for the rest of this year?
Well, at the moment I've got the Many Faces Out of Focus EP coming out April 18th on Pictures. Doing more gigs etc etc... and just generally fucking shit up!
