Unflagging in his mission to champion new music, Laidback Luke has announced the launch of the new Mixmash Records radio show. The fresh weekly show will launch on 1st June and is a re-incarnation of the widely respected Super You&Me show, and will kick off with a new podcast and will be aired on a host of stations internationally with more to be announced soon. Connecting fans across the globe, the show will provide a platform for the most upfront, exclusive and exciting music with Luke at the helm.
"I’m super excited that we are starting the podcast version of my radio show now and to be adding so many stations to the network. It's the best of both worlds and means that the Mixmash Show is always available to my fans wherever they are whenever they want to listen to it." – Laidback Luke
Each week will bring a new mix show, with the first week of the month being formatted as a fully presented radio show and made available as a podcast via iTunes. The last mix show of the month will be a Mixmash Exclusive version, allowing Luke to bring the focus solely on his brainchild. A vast selection of radio stations are already signed up to broadcast the show including Ministry of Sound (UK), NRJ (Germany), NRJ (Belgium), Capital FM (Cyprus), Evolution Radio (USA), Dance Paradise Network (Brazil), Radio FG (Mexico), One FM (Switzerland), Raw FM (Australia), Metro FM (Australia) and Radio FG (France) with more to be announced in the coming weeks. The weekly podcast will be available from Monday 3rd June and then every Monday following that.
Founded in 2004 by Laidback Luke, Mixmash has grown to become the go-to label for standout dance floor fillers. As it continues to grow at an accelerated pace, it has become an internationally renowned dance music titan. Priding itself on not allowing a single genre to define it, the first quarter of 2013 has already seen an eclectic array of releases from the likes of GTA, Rene Amesz, Henrix and Laidback Luke himself to name just a few.
Fresh from a hectic week of shows in Miami and with his last single ‘Pogo’ continuing to cause serious damage in his sets, Laidback Luke isn’t wasting any time in returning to the fray with his next single for Mixmash, and this time he has teamed up with fellow Dutchman and dance titan Hardwell. Having wowed crowds at Ultra Music Festival with the new collaboration, which racked up over 5,000 plays within an hour of a clip going online and has since amassed over 100,000 within a week, they are now ready to unleash ‘Dynamo’.
‘Dynamo’ is every bit as explosive as the name suggests and proves that two heads really are better than one. A deadly combination of big, anthemic synth riffs, pounding bass and driving percussion, this is destined to be causing chaos on dance floors for months to come.
About Hardwell:
Music maturity came swiftly for the now seasoned-veteran Robbert van de Corput, better known as Hardwell. At the age of 25, the ripened heavyweight has created a legacy that would put most of his counterparts to shame. An award-winning DJ, producer, musician, label manager, lover of all things music, and #6 ranked in the DJ Mag Top 100, Hardwell has not only helped shape the current state of EDM, but has left an everlasting imprint.
About Laidback Luke:
There is no denying that Dutch turbine Laidback Luke has truly established a name for himself. His dynamic fusion of hyper-drive-house-step & ghetto-jack-trance-bass is the sound of now and has been for the past decade – and there is no sign of it slowing down! Blasting your speakers with blockbuster beats, stirring things up with his hybrid house styles and his unlimited energy, brightly results in both stunning live sets and on-going anticipated studio hits. The Dutch heavy weight house master is loved all over the globe: his Super You&Me events sell out wherever it goes to and he keeps being ranked in the Top echelons of the (in)famous and by-all-means-wanted TOP 100 DJ lists.
Major Lazer's highly anticipated album "Free The Universe" is out now. Laidback Luke co-produced one of the tracks on the album, called "Sweat", a collab with Major Lazer and Ms. Dynamite.
Free The Universe features the worlds biggest artists like Bruno Mars, Wyclef Jean, Shaggy and many more.
This is what Major Lazer has to say:
THIS ALBUM IS FOR THE MOVEMENT
THE MOVEMENT IS THE ARTISTS & WRITERS WHO LEND THEIR WORDS & VOICES, THE PRODUCERS WHO PUT THEIR IMAGINATION INTO A SOUND, THE MIXER WHO LENDS AN EAR, THE INSPIRATION OF JAMAICA, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU.
TAKE CARE OF ONE ANOTHER ALWAYS.
THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING YEAR.
Free The Universe is available on iTunes
Ahead of the full release of ‘Pogo’, Laidback Luke has unveiled the ‘Dub Mix’, in order to get it into the hands of fans as quickly as possible. In inimitable style, ‘Pogo’ is a high-octane thrill ride of pounding kicks, elasticated synths and heavy bass that bounces along full of pent up energy. Racking up thousands of plays in a matter of hours when Laidback Luke uploaded a clip of it to his soundcloud, ‘Pogo’ is already spreading like wildfire and is guaranteed to be filling dance floors across the globe. Get your copy of 'Pogo' - here -
Just one week since going on sale, phenomenal demand has meant that all tickets to Laidback Luke’s Super You&Me event on Friday 1st March have already completely sold out! Luke has responded to the monumental interest by adding another date and as a result has formed the FIRST EVER Super You&Me Weekender! Coming to life on Saturday 2nd March again at Brixton’s stunning auditorium Electric, these events promise to be Luke’s biggest London showcase to date. Get your tickets here!
Joining Luke for part two of this enthralling double header will be the mighty Congorock. Boasting an unmistakeable flair, and powerful productions, Congorock has developed his own unique bass heavy sound that has gained support from names such as Afrojack, David Guetta and Diplo to name a few. Combining underground soul with big room chords and basslines, the Italian producer creates a sound that is entirely unique. Since his first release of ‘Babylon’, Congorock has fast tracked to the top and has now become one of dance music’s most popular acts. With regular slots on Cream’s Amnesia terrace in Ibiza, as well as countless worldwide shows and festival performances, the addition of Congorock will add a whole new dimension to Super You&Me, making this a must for any electronic music fan.
In addition, Oliver Twizt will also be joining us at the Super You&Me Weekender. Hailing from The Netherlands, this exciting, forward thinking DJ can be regularly found as Laidback Luke’s trusted sidekick. As a recognised member of the Super You&Me family, Oliver Twizt featured on several of their 2012 worldwide takeovers, playing in Ibiza, Miami, New York, Tomorrowlands and Electric Daisy Carnival. Furthermore, Twizt also keeps himself busy in the studio with releases and remixes on Laidback Luke’s Mixmash Records, Spinnin’ and Mad Decent. Forever surprising the planet with his out-of-this-world DJ sets, expect the unexpected when Oliver Twizt comes in to land and takes over the controls at Super You&Me.
It’s time to get wild, as you find yourself lost in a world of fantasy on an adventure that will illustrate why Laidback Luke is recognised as one of house music’s most thrilling figureheads. The Super You & Me Weekender has already been earmarked as two of 2013’s most anticipated club shows and will set the bench-mark for London’s clubbing calendar.

Spellbound by an extraordinary level of world class production, traditional club rules will be left behind when Laidback Luke’s Super You&Me debuts at Electric.
The result of this collaboration: ‘Strobelight’ a huge electro track filled with some of Lee’s greatest homemade samples and a good dose of Luke’s magic. They messed around with the samples and created a major bass-line, which is key in this track. Laidback Luke’s experience with a piano surely came to hand as the piano lead sets a great atmosphere in the build-up of the track. The strobe light vocal came from Lee, he wanted to use this for ages. For the crowd and sound-technicians it’s a call to get wild!
Laidback Luke and Lee Mortimer really hit the spot with this one. The track is already supported by the likes of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hardwell, Diplo and David Guetta. It’s a sure thing this track will get the attention from clubbers and music lovers worldwide.

Strobelight Mixtapes:
Through the years Mixmash Records has showcased the talents of some of the biggest names in todays dance music. It was Avicii’s ‘Ryu’ that garnered him a first glimpse of the successes that he is now turning out by the dozen. And it was on Mixmash where he released his first ever compilation CD. It was Steve Angello’s and Laidback Luke’s own – Show Me Love that catapulted both old friends into a mainstream in a manner which at that time was unheard off for the dance music scene. That type of success was later emulated by Laidback Luke and Steve Aoki’s (feat Lil John) – Turbulence but also applied to the cases of Afrojack, Sandro Silva, Hardwell, Anger Dimas, Dyro and Swanky Tunes. It was Mixmash Records that played an intricate part in the shaping of their early careers.
So much has Mixmash become known for setting the trend musically that the scene as a whole looks towards the label to identify key artists and releases. An aspect that has attracted more established artists to earn this ultimate stamp of coolness. Cue releases, remixes and features from the likes of Diplo, Tiesto, A Trak, Sander van Doorn, Martin Solveig, Chuckie, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and more. But naturally at the core Mixmash will always embrace the ‘new kids’, some of which will be especially highlighted as part of the “Ones to Watch” - series – for the near future expect releases from Tom Staar, Moska, Koele Vaten, Mickey Fortune, Saintz Liz and Uberjakd. You heard it here first!
This all to the credit of course of one man – Laidback Luke – and his team. The visionary that Luke is, always wanted to create a platform for artists still finding their way to success and lend them a hand. It is what Luke has become known for – spotting and guiding undiscovered talent and without regard for selfishness or ego help them along. And so he did, with Mixmash Records, his (in)famous Super You&Me events and the publishing subsidiary Next Era that gives a new dimension to the next generation of dance artists to undoubtedly break through in the scene. Watch out for more from Sandro Silva, GTA, Revero, Sven Kirchhof, Nicolas Strands and many many more.
For the near future you may expect even more focus and push on the releases of the sounds that are yet to come.
It is with special pride and gratitude that Laidback Luke and the whole Mixmash team would like to thank all its fans for their continued support over the years.
Want to win an exclusive edition of the first EP on vinyl signed by Laidback Luke himself? Check facebook.com/mixmashrecords to find out how to participate!
Master himself picked Austin Leeds to feature his latest "Close Your Eyes" with the vocals of Jason Caesar on Mixmash Records.
The tune is so beautifully made and reminded Luke of the old Axwell's works. Especially the vocals blew Luke away. Now he is making his step towards somewhat funky, ravy and big-room feeling in his remix for "Close Your Eyes". Cutting synths, burning electro lines and scratching sounds - they take the original way beyond imagination. Get ready to jump hard when the drop comes! Just like you always do when Luke's music is on!

We are proud to present Laidback Luke & Angger Dimas feat. Polina - Night Like This (Official Hashtag video)
Laidback Luke is unstoppable when it comes to delivering hit after hit. Right after his chart-breaking "1234" and EURO2012 anthem "We Are The Stars" Luke brings us yet another incredible tune "Night Like This". But this time he teamed up with a young and happening Angger Dimas whose portfolio keeps on growing with a speed of light. To turn it all into magic the team is joined by the silky vocals from the New York based extraordinary singer/songwriter Polina.
Expect nothing but the best of Luke's giant drops mixed with the fresh Asian electro synths wrapped into the sweetly sang nightlife story. "I could die for a night like this" - chants Polina and you vividly imagine thousands of EDM lovers echoing these lines.
Laidback Luke needs no further introduction. Only the fact this Dutch trend master is touring the world faster than the day changes the night speaks for itself. From Ultra to Tomorrowland, from the tops of the charts to the top clubs in the world…our label honcho knows no limits to his music. Restlessly remixing the likes of Madonna and happening Rita Ora, producing his addictive singles like "Speak Up", "Who's Wearing The Cap" and "Natural Disaster", Luke keeps his heavy-weight scene authority unbreakable. "Night Like This" is just another brilliant collaboration we've been all waiting for to complete this summer.
As Angger Dimas has taken the industry with a storm, his name has firmly settled on the EDM radar. Just think of his latest sensationally succesful tunes like "Ria" (in collaboration with Bassjackers) and "Madagascar" (with Dimitry Vegas, Like Mike and Yves V). Angger has been lately busy touring with Steve Aoki, playing at Nocturnal Festival and EDC (Las Vegas). Now aiming at Tomorrowland, this tough Asian wonder-boy is ready to tear up the crowd especially with "Night Like This" on his set.
Polina's smooth yet powerful vocal has earned her a strong name of "the voice of EDM" (as mentioned by Elektro Magazine). This charming lady has collaborated and shared stage with the likes of Tiesto, Avicii, Deadmau5 and Kascade to name the few. She also co-wrote the lyrics for Sean Kingston's "Sleep All Day" (Party all Night) that hanged as #1 on the UK R&B Singles chart and was featured as a soundtrack to "The Inbetweeners Movie". Polina's latest work on "Night Like This" makes you surrender and trust this night is just about to become the best one of your life.

His latest massive production 1234 ,with Chuckie and Martin Solveig on vocals, has all the chances to blow up charts and dance grounds in no time!
As Luke says, "…To me 1234 is the epic-ness of the epic tracks, but I wasn't even ready for such a huge success of this tune in such a short time". As for the inspiration, Luke mentioned that a little kid saying 1234 in one of his samplepacks made Luke think of having some fun and asking his fellows, Chuckie and Martin to do the vocals in the similar chant style.
And that made it complete: track is not even about dancing but jumping non-stop to it! Get ready for the ground to shake and for your own safety, make sure you don't stand close to the speakers!

With Laidback Luke's sick drops and Wynter Gordons chart topping credentials this track is ready to explode and make you #speakupabout anything you have ever been afraid to say -- like the 2000 people on Twitter!

Trilogy is a mixture of bounciness, hardcore vibrancy and progressive house chords like never heard before. Through the winning combination of Laidback Luke, Arno Cost and Norman Doray, each of them is able to bring their own signature sound to Trilogy. For the brilliant trio 2011 was one busy year. Luke launched his trendsetting Turbulence, Natural Disaster, Who's Wearing The Cap. Arno exploded the dancefloors with his own "The Days To come" and remixed the likes of Martin Solveig (Ready To Go), Moby (Lie Down In Darkness), David Guetta (Titanium). In between his heavily scheduled gigs, Norman Doray has managed to co-produce the huge summer anthem "Chase The Sun", mind-blowing "Kalifornia" and remixed David Guetta (Little Bad Girl).
The new collaboration "Trilogy", formerly known as ‘Yummie’, now shows a lot more depth due to the fusion of different elements and styles of its authors. It’s as if it was given a sexy and fresh transformation to become a new rave-monster kindly adopted by Mixmash Records.
The Trilogy remixes package is coming soon! Hot and happening Swanky Tunes will give it even more progressive twist, Sebjak will spice it with a bit of tech house, GTA will smash it all with the heavy dubstep beats and Sam o Neall & C6 will bring it to the stylish electro sound.
Recently Luke has been widely honored as ‘The Hardest Working Man in the Dutch Showbusiness.’ With 149 performances Luke is on top of the list of artists with the most ‘gigs’ abroad. Since he is constantly travelling abroad was partly due to the real Super You&Me winning streaks with multiple editions in Ibiza, Miami, New York and Los Angeles. Now, a few weeks before the infamous Miami Music Week, Luke is approaching Amsterdam with his companions. That the choice fell on AIR is not surprising! As Super You&Me, AIR is fresh and musically innovative and both guarantee quality.
Super You&Me is known for its progressive line ups – Superheroes stood here before such as Afrojack, Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Wolfgang Gartner, Fakeblood, Martin Solveig and DJ Mehdi. The next generation of superheroes is preparing their attack for this years edition; alongside Laidback Luke Congorock, Sandro Silva and La Fuente will ensure that the Amsterdam is a must-see event.
Congorock – a musical trendsetter from Italy, as one of the first who could bring fidget house to a larger audience. He gained a lot of respect in the underground scene with releases on Fool’s Gold but for now it does well on the commercial based Ultra Records. His reputation mainly was established due to his performances with unique energetic 130 bpm ghetto, fidget and electro house.
Sandro Silva – His hit “Epic” (with Quintino) reached became a NR1 hit record in The Netherlands and was even awarded with a Golden Plaque. Get Lower (with Bizzey) showed that this young contender is not afraid of experimenting with dance. Sandro just returned from a tour in Australia, and just before his tour in the U.S., the return to Amsterdam will show why this guy has made a remarkable impact on the dance scene in such a short time.
La Fuente – the friendly-looking blonde afro haired DJ from Amsterdam is known for his huge catchy ‘high energy’ way of turning. He will make sure that Super You&Me will keep you dancing throughout the night.
This Super You&Me is THE perfect opportunity to show who your favorite superhero is – nothing is too crazy and (almost) anything goes!
Have you ever wanted to save the night and be as powerful as Superman? Here is your chance to be recognized for your inner Superhero because Super You&Me is back!
As in the previous years, Laidback Luke’s Super You&Me parties continue to get the attention of countless house music lovers.

Laidback Luke and Sander van Doorn teamed up for the next stellar release on Mixmash Records. The track, with a rather intriguing name "Who's' Wearing The Cap", brings the best of both worlds.
The banging track where trance meets progressive and blends into electro has its own story. "People sometimes mix me up with Luke," says Sander van Doorn in his interview with DJ Mag, "so in the studio, he was wearing a cap, we took a picture for Twitter asking, 'Who's Wearing The Cap?' and that became the name of the track!"
Epic piano chords, smashed with crazy build-ups and pushing the famous Dutch sound to the limit!
Since the words "piano" and "Dutch" became the driving force of the track, the original "Dutchano" name was born.
"Dutchano" has this powerful festival anthem sound, and that was a reason none other than Laidback Luke picked up the tune for his own edit. We guarantee you falling in love with this one and begging for more of "Dutchano". Thank God there's a replay!
Now it's all up to you who's taking the "survival kit" home! Give your "Like" to the best cover and don't forget to check the rest of the covers on our Wall!
