Laurence Matte

Laurence is a believer and a creator, a wild thing and a chameleon. She is a badass and she is a cutie pie. She is contradictory, exploratory and new. And she loves making music.

Raised in her bohemian grandparents' house, filled with treasures collected from world travels and vinyl from across the continents she is a melting pot of influences. Playing with these Laurence creates dynamic, emotional soundscapes. Her music is responsive and fluid: it moves with the feeling of the crowd. A natural autodidact and perfectionist, she is always tinkering with new formulas and technologies. Freely selecting sounds from different cultures, time periods and genres, her sets tells a story of voyage and adventure. She is audacious and artistic, equally inspired by the music of Lhasa de Sela as by the poetry of Boris Vian. Laurence loves all kinds of art and music but there's a special place in her heart for chanson, house and the music of the orient. With a practice that resembles collage, she builds harmony out of chaos and creates something both poetic and accessible. Always danceable, her sound often leans towards deep sets with exotic touches. A soundtrack to get lost to.
