Madeon

Leclercq started composing music at the age of 11, producing trance under the name of "DJ Deamon" and hands-up under the name of "Wayne Mont" until 2010 when he began producing house music under his current name, Madeon, which is an anagram of his previous nickname. He won a remix competition for "The Island" by Pendulum the same year. He went on to remix other electronic artists' tracks the following year. A clip of him performing his mash-up "Pop Culture", uploaded to YouTube on 7 July 2011, propelled him to international fame. It featured samples from thirty-nine songs mixed together on-the-fly using a Novation Launchpad.

More recently, Madeon has collaborated with Ellie Goulding on ‘Stay Awake’, a pop/rock track with a drum & bass spin which was an exclusive to Beatport but has now been added to to the forthcoming repackaged re-release of Ellie’s current Halcyon album of Ellie as well as producing an alternative radio mix for Muse’s “Panic Station” single release which Zane Lowe chose as his hottest record in the World on his Radio 1 show. Madeon has also been extremely busy touring over the past couple of years performing at festivals such as Coachella (US), Lollapalooza (US), Transmusicale (France), Sonar (Spain), Wireless Festival (UK), Ultra (US), SonicMania (Japan) etc.. He then embarked on his first headline tour around Europe back in December 2012 before heading to the States to join Lady Gaga on her Born This Way Ball early 2013, coupled with main stage appearances at a plethora of festivals around the Globe including EDC (US), Rockness (Scotland), Ultra (US) Electric Forest (US), Creamfields (UK), Global Gathering (UK), Benecassim (Spain), Summerburst (Sweden) 7th Sunday Festival, (Holland), Main Stage Festival (France), EDC (UK), Electric Zoo (US) etc...
