Career highlights…
Too much fine memories and highlights really, but there are a few I really have to mention. My gig in The Egg, London with Nils Hess, the Tomorrowland gig, Bob Sinclar lifting me up for a packed Fuse club in Brussels after the warming up, the closing of Carl Craig and a year later top of the bill together with Laurent Garnier at the legendary 10 Days Off festival, my longtime residency in Club Decadance and my first events that I organized in Club N9 in my hometown Eeklo City in Belgium.
Playing Folies Pigalle in Paris several times and the CE Festival in Milan were all memorable visits. The MuZZic residency for the Kozzmozz concept in Ghent are still some fine memories. And the day I met Synoptic, in Café d’Anvers in Antwerp, asking me to produce progressive house as a duo - that is currently still a great partnership that started back in 2004.
The future…
Well my personal vision has always been futuristic, so that means I’m looking forward to the future. Meaning more releases on the El Futuro Recordings label and so much events I want to play and invite visitors to the world of futuristic music.
About that, I also launched the term ‘progressive chill out’, as since day one we are producing chill out music having that special futuristic feel in it. We also add progressive (house) elements to those tracks and therefore we decided to use the term progressive chill out. Or just listen to the tracks Coral Dreams (Chill Out Mix), When The Lights Go Out, Meeting The Mermaids and Love The Future.
Event preview…
The 25 Years Josh Lasden concept will be held for over 1 year with different events and also a special compilation release that will be available on portals such as iTunes, Beatport, Juno Download, Spotify and many more.
A first event will take place in my hometown, Eeklo City, during the Eeklo Beach concept. This night is a co-operation with Horeca Markt Eeklo and the City Of Eeklo, bringing you futuristic music ranging from chill out, lounge, progressive chill out towards beach house music. This will be held on the 7th August and will have a free entrance and I invited Sven Van Hees - the biggest international lounge artist of Belgium. Next to this event, there’s also a special release planned or the 25 Years Josh Lasden compilation that will be released on my El Futuro Recordings label.
I’m also looking forward to the M.M.A.D. Festival, this is brand new and organized at the historical Castle Of Laarne which is gorgeous. This festival will take place on the 11th August and I will be playing a 25 Years Josh Lasden DJ set there.
