If you had any doubts as to Laidback Luke’s potential as a next-level superstar DJ and producer, look no further than his list of collaborators. The man born Lucas Cornelis van Scheppingen (pictured) has worked with David Guetta, Lil Jon, Swedish House Mafia, Example, Dizzee Rascal, Calvin Harris and dozens of others. The former graffiti writer has become the go-to guy when you want turbo- charged kick-ass acceleration for your track or club.
Since he moved from hip-hop to more electronic sounds, Laidback Luke’s ability to rock the big rooms is what has set him on his current trajectory and ensures he’s a choice booking worldwide. Seeing as the market for his brand of hyper-house and trance is still a growing one, expect to see Laidback Luke on many more bills like this in the future.
