Simon Lahure, also known as DJ Startup, creates dance music that is at once joyful, spellbinding and eclectic, blending breakbeat rhythms with elements of big beat, IDM and UK garage, alongside influences from folk music and video game soundtracks. Inspired as much by the contemporary traditional music scene as by the conventions of film music, DJ Startup crafts sets where the energy of the rave is infused with the imagination of fairy tales.
Since 2022, Simon has been developing an immersive live performance in quadraphonic sound, designed to bring the music as close as possible to the audience. Thanks to MIDI racks he has built himself, each performance becomes a sensory and celebratory experience, where the soundscape is experienced collectively.
