Laidback Luke

Dutch heavyweight Laidback Luke has a two-decade track record of doing things his way, keeping versatility at the core of his every move. He rewired a worldwide passion for dance music and set a new precedent for fan interaction along the way. Add that to him being a Kung Fu World Champion making no-one match his exceptional superstar DJ status.

Under the guise of Mixmash, Luke has turned his success towards personally inspiring the next generation. With no formal musical agenda other than outright quality, the culmination of Mixmash Records, Mixmash Deep, and Mixmash Bold has unearthed stars, spotlighted next generation players and kept quality and creative energy at the forefront of this career highlight.

His popular bi-weekly vlog gives an insight into his intense life and maintains a direct connection with fans, while his healthy lifestyle sees him extol the virtues of tai chi, yoga, healthy food and his beloved kung-fu over hedonism and excessive partying. All this combined makes him a truly unique and inspirational figure in the dance music industry and one who will continue to play a vital part in it for years to come.

Being the founding father of Mixmash Records, his positive influence on the labels’ imprint and its artists is strongly felt up to this day.

"This has been a 2 year journey of DJ innovation for me. I've never before designed my own DJ unit. The Reloop Mixtour Pro is a 4 deck, standalone controller. Designed to work with Algoriddim's djay Pro app. This is my whole portable, professional club and festival setup in one unit! In this video I'll describe the features of it. A little bit of history to this whole process and you'll hear about the special Laidback Luke features that I've put in there as well. The Future of DJaying is here!"
