Born in France, established in Switzerland, and now, via a detour in Montreal, Maxime Laffon lands on Culprit with his debut for the Los Angeles label. On the ‘Escapade’ EP the classic meets contemporary, as Laffon taps into the legacy of legendary dance music he grew up with and the recent experience as the resident for the famed D Club in Lausanne, where he affiliated with none other than Luciano and the Vagabundos crew.

‘Escapade’ and ‘Everybody’ are two slabs of crackling Electronic House, percolating with dancefloor energy and bouncy mischief. ‘Escapade’ is the lighter, more melodic of the pair, while ‘Everybody’ sports the chunky groove and the catchy vocal hook.

The remix arrives courtesy Tiefschwarz ‘ long friends of the label who are finally lassoed into a contribution. And what a contribution it is! With Ali Schwarz at the helm, this rework adds the gorgeous late night Deep Techno sheen to ‘Everybody.’
