Tonight: Laidback Luke


Despite this years DJ MAG Top 100 dropping Laidback Luke to 31st overall, in my opinion, he is one of the top 10 DJs in the world. What has he been up to lately? Oh only coming off of a summer jam-packed with dates at the world's most popular dance music festivals, followed up by a grueling bus tour across North America. He wouldn't have it any other way. Luke loves to perform and is very humble, choosing to travel via bus instead of flying. He is also a closet Martial Arts champion and is internationally recognized for that as well as DJing.

Tonight he will perform at Rendezvous Nightclub inside Statler City. General admission tickets are still available for $26.00 before 5pm today HERE and will also available at the door for an increased price. Doors are at 8pm. Dress to impress. Event is 21 and over.

Expect an expert set of House and Dance music from this well seasoned and respected performer. In support will be Moska, a member of LL's record label, Mixmash Records, and also local House DJ Brother Bear. Check out Laidback Luke's latest single below, titled "Blow," a collaboration with Martin Solveig.

Tonight: Laidback Luke


When I hear the name Laidback Luke, a vivid memory comes to mind: a summer night spent in the sticky underground of Soundlab.  His remix of "Out of the Blue" was a consistently played track on my iPod and could often be heard blasting from my dorm room window weaving around the religious statues and unpleasantly fragrant trees of the Canisius quad.  But this moment was particularly special: I stepped out of the dingy bathroom and as if I walked through a vortex into the enveloping sounds of progressive-house, I entered a new world.  The room was lit with light blue and I'll never forget the feeling of that ecstatic contentment when the local DJs on stage played this song out.

Philippine born and Holland raised Luke Van Scheppingen, known to the world as Laidback Luke, overtime has become one of the most highly regarded names in the DJ world.  His productions, predominantly house, and performances across the world has built him a fan base of hundreds of thousands.  Performances this year include the Electric Daisy Carnival, Electric Zoo, Tomorrowland and Ultra.  In 2010 not only did he place #17 on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ list, he also won the International Dance Music Award for "Leave the World Behind." 

In 2004 he developed his own label, Mixmash Records with a mission to be "adament in it's pursuit for good music."  Names on the roster include Steve Aoki, Wynter Gordon, A-Trak, Angger Dimas, Avicii and Oliver Twizt.  Buffalo's very own DJ Dstar was recently signed to the label as well.

During an interview at DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ list release in 2010, the interviewer asked Laidback Luke about whether his success has inflated his ego. "Maybe this keeps me grounded as well, I just want to have a really good fucking party, together with the crowd.  It's not about me.  Like, yes I do bring the music but we should just have a great time..." he said.

The show is tonight June 14.
10 pm - 4 am
at Lux Nightclub (75 W. Chippewa)
$20 - 18+

Factory Nightlife has also put some wonderful local talent on the bill.  DJ Dstar and McNasty will be opening for Laidback Luke on the main stage while Mario Bee, Miosi and SwaggleRock are on the patio.

Check out the event Facebook page for more information.

The Drum Machine Report


Well the cats out of the bag. Avicii at the First Niagara Center is canceled. Everyone is chiming in with their opinions; why it was wrong to begin with. The idea was flawed, yes. But the effort was there. Buffalo is not Miami. Enough people to “fill” an arena are not going to pay a ton of money up-front to see a guy push play on his own songs. We have a difficult enough task sometimes going out to support the local DJs. Alas, this fodder is inconsequential to Buffalo’s greater attraction to dance music. It quickly becomes an argument involving the ‘big market’ vs. ‘small market,’ which if you’re a fan of local sports, you know all too well.
In other news, Girl Talk got announced to play at a venue that doesn't exist, yet. The Outer Harbor, not to be confused with the Buffalo Place Rocks the Harbor concert series at the Erie Canal site. Remember where that cheesy yet cool outdoor slosh bar ‘The Pier’ was? Well, where it used to be? There's a flat slab of land right there jutting out into the water this side of the break wall that is the intended landing zone for some pretty large happenings, including Girl Talk and Drop Kick Murphys. Seems pretty ambitious to do shows of that magnitude in a space that has yet to be tested.
This weekend’s got some pretty cool stuff going on, so let’s get right into it.

Weekly Remix: Steve Angello & Laidback Luke ft. Robin. S - Show Me Love (DSKOTEK Remix)


Alright, today for the Weekly Remix, we are going to get down and dirty.  "Show Me Love" by Steve Angelo(Swedish House Mafia) and Laidback Luke was already a banger and concert staple for most Dj's but DSKOTEK(electro/house/thrash,) out of L.A., has taken this track to a whole new level.  DSKOTEK puts their own spin of baseline and dskotek to give the original some serious spice.  For a really dreary and gloomy Tuesday, this track really can turn your whole day around, if this is your kind of thing of course.
