LAPALUX

Event information

Stuart Howard aka Lapalux has came up with something special for his first release with Cali’s finest, Brainfeeder. Having made his name with his Many Faces Out Of Focus EP released on Pictures Music and acclaimed bootlegs and remixes he returns with a seven track EP of such poise and beauty, one listen is enough to know you’re onto something special.
Lapalux bathes your brain in lush textures, surprising and explosive atmospheres set in unencountered, unearthly spaces, all somehow perfectly set against catchy rolling choruses informed by pop and commercial R&B. On the When You’re Gone EP he channels and refines his sound and shapes it into hazy, woozy emotion. Whether working with a singer like Py (on “Moments”), or deconstructing found samples and his own voice, Howard stretches, bends and warps sound to make soul – not plastic posturing but real emotion made of synthetic sound.
2012 is sure to be Lapalux’s break-through year. As well as his forthcoming releases for Brainfeeder, Howard is increasingly in demand as a remix artist (Lianne La Havas, Fink, Mirrors, Bonobo, TEED Speech Debelle). XLR8R included 2 Lapalux tracks in their top 100 of the year 2011 and international touring .
