LORAN joins the Spotlight Mix Series

LORAN, is a native from the south of France, yet has also lived in Tunisia and Paris before finally moving to London where he is currently based.

LORAN has forged his musical identity by travelling and experimenting with different styles of music and in particular with House Music. He has been playing in many big clubs Ibiza, Paris, London… and today this Dj performs with maturity and experience and his talent keeps growing.

The French DJ/producer teams up with Daniel Orpi for a brand-new collaboration for Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label, and British juggernaut Skream is on hand with a belter of a remix. LORAN & Daniel Orpi’s ‘Gaia’ EP is released on digital download & streaming from 18th February 2022.

A punchy breakbeat sets up the hypnotizing ‘Gaia’, as shiny melodic keys filter into earshot, and a big and bold sub-bass growls satisfyingly, punctured by micro vocal hits, all set to a groove inducing arrangement. 

Skream needs little introduction, suffice to say that the early dubstep exponent has blossomed into one of the UK’s most dependable producers, via an army of house, disco and techno leaning productions and remixes over the last two decades. His remix of ‘Gaia’ is a pure roller, playfully mashing up the synth tones of the original mix into a rave-esque banger of the highest order.

The electro direction of ‘Bloc’ grandly seals off this heavyweight release for Four Thirty Two, as a chugging acidic bassline gurgles intently over a driving rhythm and atmospheric sweeping pads.
