Ask any club music connoisseur about Laidback Luke and they would tell you he's one hell of an artist. The Philippine born producer has worked with the likes of Diplo, A-Trak, Kanye West, Tiesto and everyone in between, using his depth of knowledge and precise engineering skills to top charts worldwide. Since 2008 when he dropped in at #48 in DJ Magazines 'Top 100', Laidback Luke has done everything in his power to hit the top - proving he may very well be laid back about everything except his music.
Back in 2008, Luke Van Scheppingen DJ'ed worldwide at over 200 events, released 15 remixes and 5 originals and wow'ed the world over, all in a 12 month period many called his 'breakthrough year'. Knowing well and truly the modern DJ was more than just a music machine, Luke spent his time establishing a solid website and focusing his efforts on his now famed 'Super You&Me' club night, initially held at 3001 in Dusseldorf, Germany. The now internationally recognised event has featured everyone from John Dahlback to A-trak to Bart-B-More, with his latest night coming March 6th @ Panama in Amsterdam. The night incorporates everything Luke believes a club night should, with the superstar quoting 'plenty of kids in superhero outfits, a huge crowd and nice girls' - a combination that has clasped his vote for best club night of 2010.
Aside from knowing how to party, Luke's laid the brag-worthy role of a Pioneer DJ and spokesperson, constantly speaking on behalf of the international super manufacturer. He also holds a soft spot in Radio 1's heart, with Pete Tong constantly splattering Laidback Luke tunes on his Essential Mixes and Kissy Sellout praising the amazing producer. If that's not enough, his name has been nominated for 3 IDMA Awards, he owns a record label thats dropped hits including SonicC's 'Stickin' and has sat on the Beatport throne a number of times for his amazing production skills. After all this, you can tell just how amazing this kid is and we have proof. Enjoy some new and old bootlegs he has thrown out over time - courtesy of your friends in the Fridge!
