Daisychain 357 – LAU

Crying on the dancefloor electro.

Name: Laura
Alias: LAU (@laumusikk)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Budapest/Hungary

Influences: Avalon Emerson, Shanti Celeste, Helena Hauff and learning to love and be loved.

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: i regularly release on Dalmata Daniel records. But have released on Exiles, and Aller Ende Anfang.

I do live performances too, thanks to my boiler room, i did a live set in Subclub, Kazakhstan and AFO Olomouc. Since then my style has softened and evolved towards a less angry, more soulful journey which i am about to pinpoint with a self release EP that is being finished as we speak.

I have been involved with Dj and producer workshops. I am a passionate community member and i believe in sharing the knowledge both social or technical aspects. Thats why my favorite previous performance was for sure Fusion Festival’s Cloud cuckoo stage. It felt like a home coming, but in terms of the hungarian scene i am super happy to be able to perform live or dj sets for my friends’ queer event Persephone.

Favorite Quote:

“Only one thing is sure; the rest is merely extension: the earth below you, the sky above you, the ladder within you.”

– Sándor Weöres, Inverted Mirrors

Keep doing what you do with love and passion. Find likeminded people around you. Beautifully deep friendships and love can spring out of the affection for music.
Try to follow your heart, play what makes you excited. Music is the best tool to express what you feel, what goes on in your daily life.

About the mix: I created the mix after a long procrastination to finally record a mix at home. I wanted to convey my emotional journey over the past year. From sad to anxious, then to be embraced in euphoria and love. I wanted to be in touch with most of my sides, from the melodic ambient bliss, impatient electro, dreamy breaks to queer grooves and bouncy techno.
