Laces 2024

Laces

Melbourne/Naarm-based DJ and eclectic producer Laces is a mainstay across Australia’s electronic underground, negating and challenging genre boundaries.

Laces released his debut EP FIELD FALLACY XVI on Nina Las Vegas’ label NLV Records in 2021. The six tracks feature an ethereal collage of sounds that transcend your average electronic music release. Swiftly followed by his club-centric remix EP FIELD FALLACY HAPTICS, Laces spearheaded the hardstyle revival within online music communities and Naarm’s underground club scene. The same year, leading single ‘The Ridge’ was featured prominently in the iPhone 13 Pro advertising campaign across in-store billboards and social media.

Laces concluded 2021 with a nationwide tour, headlining club events such as Perth’s Pneumatic and Brisbane’s NATSTM alongside fellow producer/DJ Kenta204. Touring further solidified Laces’ place in the Australian dance scene.

Continuing to evolve his sound, Laces explored new sonic territories in 2022 with tracks like ‘Pace,’ featuring UK-based Illegal Data producer TEEN, a dreamy composition of fluttering percussion, and ‘ei09k,’ a brutish club synth opera. He also collaborated with fellow electronic artists Ninajirachi, Kenta204, Scan, and Sus1er.

As a DJ, Laces has spent countless nights commanding dance floors all over the world, from dark basements to park raves. He has previously supported the likes of Bladee, Thaiboy Digital, μ-Ziq, Mechatok, Jamesjamesjames, Iglooghost, Blood of Aza, Kavari, Nammy Wams and Mike Midnight.

In 2024, Laces returned to the forefront with his bold and experimental new single ‘BORING!’, featuring Sydney-based dark club classical figurehead Grasps, once again pushing the needle of electronic music excellence in Australia.
