France has been feeding influence to their young generations quite well, as recently proven by 16 year-old electro-pop producer Madeon. This kid debuted his skills back in February after winning David Latour’s “One Day†remix contest. Then more recently in October, Madeon took first place again in Pendelum’s The Island remix competition, which was a more serious breakthrough for him entering the electronic music producing world.
“..twelve months ago my work was quite bad. The biggest change in my musical life was talking to a friend of mine who shifted my perspective on music production.â€
While most of us were busy crafting macaroni necklaces at his age, Madeon is innovating a unique direction of disco with both his original tracks and remixes that have had my iPod stuck on repeat this past week. I’d like to share an original of his called “Shuriken”, but I recommend checking out all of his work on SoundCloud and, if you dig, you can download them for free.
