Interview: La Roché




Evoking pure and proper nostalgia, this is pop electro in a different light: both sophisticated and unbelievably catchy. This is the song Louis La Roche was born to remix. To download Beating Hearts (Louis La Roché Remix) - Ocelot click here.




When did you start exploring making your own music?
When i was 14/15. Messing about with 4-tracks then moving onto Garageband.
Do any other genres influence your work?
Every genre there is, i’m a big fan of bands like Holy Fuck, LCD Soundsystem, Hercules And Love Affair, but at the same time i like people like The Kings Of Convenience, Air and Caribou.
Your song structure is great, would you say its just a result of listening to a lot of music?
I guess so, but also because with dance music often songs are 6 minutes long or whatever, for DJ’s to mix in and out of. Thats all good but its not great to listen to, i get bored easy. So my songs are more like radio edits, short, simple and to the point. Most DJ’s now days use CDJ’s or Laptops anyway, so they can loop the intro and outros to mix into.
What are you currently listening to?
Plej, i love them! If you haven’t heard of them go check them out. Imagine if Daft Punk went Lounge, thats Plej. There 2nd album ‘Home Is Where Your Heart Was’ has just came out, its a really good album. Im still really loving Untrue by Burial, every track is a masterpiece.
You do a terrific job of sampling, especially of Michael Jackson in ‘Love’, how do you choose your samples?
It all depends on how i approach a track. Sometimes I’m digging through records and something in the song jumps out at me, i sample it and sometimes it takes days, sometimes it takes months before its finished. But then other times i have no idea what to sample, so i don’t go looking for it, i let it come to me. For example, when i made Love, i was listening to Off The Wall and heard Michael call out ‘Cry’, and was like ‘Thats It!’.
