Lucas Cornelis van Scheppingen (born 22 October 1976), better known under his stage name Laidback Luke, is a DJ and music producer from Hoofddorp, North Holland. He also is a martial artist.
House music has always been about peace, love and unity - and I'm bringing the 2012 version of it.
My name came from me wanting a 'double-letter' artist name. In search of the ultimate L-word to put in front of my real name Luke, I heard Snoop Dogg rapping in Gin and Juice 'Laaaaiiidbackk. . . ' and I was sold!
A very important thing about DJing that’s missed nowadays is the trendsetting and the taste-making.
I started producing in 1992 at the age of 15, when I found out music could be made with the help of a computer. I come from a musical family, but was always the family member not as good as the others. So once I found out I could release the music that was stuck inside my head through a computer, I knew I found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
