Laurent & Lewis is a musical duo composed of Laurent Chambon and Lewis de Janeiro. The first is French, the other is American-Portuguese. They live in The Netherlands.
Their music is a mix of Pop, House Music, Techno and ethnic music. They worked with different underground artists like the Butch Bitches (collective with Aaron-Carl, La Chocha and DJ Bærtran), the American artists Aaron-Carl Ragland (Detroit) and Snax (Berlin).
At the Amsterdam Dance Event 2007, during the Demolition 2007 contest, 'Motion' was voted best song by DJs Kevin Saunderson and Dave Clarke.[1][2]
The official release of their first album, 'Überlove', was set in April–May 2008, even if copies circulated since March. It is already considered a masterpiece by some people (Didier Lestrade, Geneviève Gauckler...). Mixed in Amsterdam, in Paris, in Detroit et in Norway, it was mastered in Lappeenranta (Finland), the Mecca of Nordic and Russian Hard rock. The sleeve was created by Pierre Marly, the Reykjavik-based Graphic designer of French origin.[3][4]
Laurent is also known DJ Laurent Outang and released records under the name of Tournedisk in collaboration with Fusée Dorée, Monsieur B. or Toomoo.
