Laidback Luke returns to Dim Mak Records after a seven-year hiatus with the single ‘One On One’, melding together synths and tech house drums. Ushering in the new generation, this track marks his first collaboration with his son, Marlonbeats.
Laidback Luke: “This song is my birthday gift to my son Marlonbeats for his 21st Birthday. He is what you would call a ‘daddy's boy’, but because of my intense career and abundant travelling, he has missed me most of his childhood. I've always tried to balance being a good dad with my DJ career, and it's always been a juggling act. Interestingly, he started producing a few years ago and while figuring this out by himself, he soon realised his dad is a real producer. Furthermore, he also started to DJ recently and is only grasping now why I was always gone.
“This song embodies our time together—us having quality time, doing what we love most while reconnecting as father and son. The least I could do for his coming of age is to make a track together, and we are proud to present it to the world.”
To celebrate its release, Dim Mak Presents is throwing a release party on 9 August at Marquee in NYC.
This release kickstarts a flurry of activity between Laidback Luke and Dim Mak in the coming months.
‘One On One’ is out 9 August on Dim Mak.
