The buzz so far Electronic music is flooded with the latest laptop prodigies and Essex-bred Lapalux (aka Stuart Howard) is one of these, but his poly-genre pilfering and distinctive voice is defined through his emphasis on textures, subtlety and surprises.
Where Skrillex is intent on hacking your ears to shreds with his wub-wub assault, Lapalux wants to hypnotise them into a dream-like trance. He’ll be a summer fest feature, has fans in Diplo and SBTRKT, and the debut Nostalchic announces his arrival.
