LB aka LABAT
Between house, hip‑hop and breakbeat sounds, LB aka LABAT shapes club music nourished by sample culture and record digging. From Lyon, France, the producer and DJ attracted attention in the mid‑2010s with a series of maxis that blended fast house rhythms, lo‑fi textures and nods to American rap. He then developed a steady catalog of releases on French and international labels, ranging from dancefloor‑oriented EPs to longer formats that allow more narrative constructions. In his productions, loops of soul, jazz or funk are sliced and reconstructed around thick basslines and nervous drum patterns, creating an intentional bridge between boom‑bap heritage and European club aesthetics. On stage, LB aka LABAT alternates DJ sets and hybrid performances, playing both intimate clubs and festivals, with particular attention to groove and tempo changes. Active on many stages across France and Europe, he belongs to a generation of producers who blur the boundaries between house, techno, breakbeat and hip‑hop culture while maintaining a strong link to DJ tradition and crate‑digging.
