Laure Croft

Dutch-born, Berlin-based DJ Laure Croft lives by the mantra ‘keep it sexy’. When behindthe decks she takes approach for the moment of release in the most powerful dancefloorexperiences, when clothes come off and the energy reaches fever pitch.This sensual attitude manifests in the way she plays – a constant rush of high-intensitytechno with little respite as she rips through a collection which spans the mid 90s to themid 00s. She’s no vinyl elitist, but in touching a pair of Technics she found an internalexcitement which was lacking from CDJs, where the tension around the mix and the storyembedded in the grooves of a record feed into the energy of the party. She glides throughher record bag after ceaseless hours of digging and selecting with an instinctive codewhich defines her unique sound.As her identity as a DJ takes an upwards curve, Laure views her path as a quest tocontinually find the tracks which fit her particular creative vision, pulling together the piecesof the puzzle from decades of techno culture carved into a near-infinite pool of uptempo,forward-facing machine music. As a woman in a male-dominated scene, she also pushesfor a more inclusive climate on all regards, and considers her ever-increasing visibility anopportunity to inspire and enact positive change.With her husky Roxy (named after one of the first queer underground music clubs inAmsterdam) by her side, she holds true to techno’s inherent futurism by creatingsomething new and ever-evolving from the already existing music she discovers andblends. The end result is a sound which celebrates honesty and integrity in the face ofmodern life’s rampant, paper-thin perfectionism.
