DJ profile: MADEON
In my mind, French kid house producer Hugo Pierre Leclercq, known by stage name Madeon, is 100% the best new artist of the last year. He recently landed gigs at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Ultra, and has played at renowned night clubs across the world. But he's only 17 years old... it's craaaazy! This kid brings such an original sound to the scene as well. I would describe it as a mix of Daft Punk, Porter Robinson, and Calvin Harris. It's funky yet it slaps, and very original, if that makes any sense. Almost all of songs are available for free download. Keep an eye out for this Bro. I can promise you right now that he will be world famous in a few years tops. I don't know a single person who hasn't liked his music. I've posted some of his best tracks but honestly, they are all sooo good. Check all of them out.
All songs listed below have download buttons attached to the media player.
P.S. does he not look like he's at a Bar-Mitzvah in that picture? Kid looks younger than my 11 year old brother.
"Icarus" peaked at #22 on the UK billboard charts. This is probably his most famous song.
Madeon's "Raise Your Weapon" remix is flawless. It was featured on Pete Tong's Radio One a couple months ago. It puts a great funky/dancy spin on the original by Deadmau5.
"DJ (Madeon Remix)" is INCREDIBLE. It doesn't have any huge drops, but it will definitely get people dancing. It's such a feel good song.
Lastly, I've got one of Madeon's true masterpieces. He remixed Yelle's "Que Veux Tu" beautifully. This song honestly just brings me happiness through my speakers. I don't know how Madeon does it. He is gonna be Huge. Mark my word.
