Hi, my name is Laust Foged, and I'm a DJ and music producer from Aalborg, Denmark.
I have always had a huge passion for music. It started back home in my birth city, Holstebro, at my parents place. We always listened to music from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Here I learned a lot about music and a lot of where todays samples come from. My mother was a pianist and had her own choir, my dad played the guitar and my grandfather was a violinist in a symphony orchestra. I started playing the piano, when I was six years old and the electric guitar, when I was twelve. I listened (and still do) to a lot of hip hop and r'n'b music by myself, and that inspired me to be a DJ. Later on I came hooked on house music, and back in 2010 I started producing.
I had my first official release in March 2017, which was a an EP with two tracks "Sunset" a Ibiza-lounge inspired deep house track and "Low", which is a UK house track:
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Well, as I said earlier, a lot of my influence come from 50's, 60's and 70's music, but it's combined with my love for hip hop and r'n'b. My love for house music came from people/songs like: Yoshimoto's "Do What U Du (Trentemøller Remix)", Sidekick's "DeepFear (Phobia Club Mix)", John Dahlbäck's "Everywhere (D.O.N.S. Meets DBN In The Nox Remix)", Style of Eye's "Girls", Nadia Ali's "Rapture (Avicii New Generation Mix)", Reflect feat. Delline Bass "Need To Feel Loved (Adam K and Soha Remix)" and so on. They made awesome tracks, and todays house music has just evolved to something further amazing from what they did just a few years ago. Today I keep getting inspired all the time. There are so many great producers out there, so the inspiration will not stop soon at all.
What´s new right now?
At the moment I'm quite busy being a dad. I had my first child, a little girl, back in January, so she needs all my attention. BUT I am working om something new and I can't wait for that track to get released. I have put a lot of energy in that track, so I hope that it will get well received. That was a little teaser ?
But WAIT? Is there also something happening very soon? Yeeees. On Monday on Feb. the 26. I have two new releases out on the same day, a BASS-banger, called "Play" and a remix I did of my own track from August 2017 "Free".
