💥 LEARNING TO SAY NO 💥

Hi, finally got my act together to put some stuff on Soundcloud.
By way of brief introduction, I've been making music, mainly electronic since the mid-70's. Mainly based in Melbourne Australia.
( if you want to "learn" more, check out the highly dodgy wiki entry*note to self-change it!*)
I was at the beginnings of the punk scene here as well as the techno scene, which was a joy, the latter more than the former.
I started a label, Psy Harmonics in the early days of the trance techno rave whatever... scene here in Australia, but I quit that label some years back now.
These days I make music for the same reasons I always have, that is, I want to hear it!
As far as releasing stuff goes, I did a couple of CD's for a Greek label called Creative Space a few years back, Simulated & I AM the Server.
Also released a few things digitally, but not for sometime.
The most recent activity of a commercial nature was scoring the soundtrack for the Australian Horror Film " The Loved Ones".
I think that score will be released fairly soon on cd and also digitally.
I am very pleased with the release as I really loved making a large piece out of the various cues I created for the film.
I hope some of you will check it out when its released : )
I also did a remix for Brian Burger recently that has been released via the Machine Label (A new imprint from my old partner Andrew Till)
There is a wonderful band in Ireland called The Last Sound, I was lucky enough to do a remix of them as well, which I gather will be available
soonish.
I'm planning a slew of releases in this next year, all kinds of stuff under various guises, some of which I will give you tasters of here.
I am not a fan of genres as such , let's just say I make Electronic Music.
I find genres limiting, although I do understand the need for people to have mental map, a safe place in a somewhat scary reality.
But if one opens oneself up ...ANYTHING is possible.
Rarely Dj in the "real world", however, I do play on a regular basis in virtual worlds, which is fun and the hours suit me, plus I can play
to nice people across the globe in a nice and sexy animated fashion.
I am "un-signed" as such at the moment.
If you like my music, I can do a snappy high production version...but I tend to sketch ideas out mostly, fast as possible. If there is a reason
to make it "high-end". I call in the experts as I am truly deaf in one ear ( not through music, I have been born this way) so please bear in mind
that if my mixes sound odd, its because I am "au-naturally mono" so to speak.
I'm really impressed with Soundcloud, I can't believe how long it took me to have a good look at it.
Thanks for reading and listening : )
btw, its so damn interesting to see music becoming something else all over again, not quite sure what it's place is right now, but its truly interesting.
Let's just keep chipping away and see what the zeitgeist presents us with.
I still feel it coming, I think its around about......*****here****

Laurent Veronnez aka Airwave aka many many other guises was born in Brussels in 1977, he is a naturally gifted artist and this manifested in him at the age of just 7.

Influenced by the 80’s and 90’s sounds and by greats such as Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Orbital, Oliver Lieb and BT, he honed his skills in music knowledge and technology.

Laurent would then see demos picked up by the infamous Bonzai imprint in 1996 and the stunning Airwave - I want To Believe was released. In 1998 this was picked up by many top DJ’s including Sasha and Oakenfold and later on by an up and coming DJ, Tiesto. 

Airwaves sound was and still is prominent in the UK and Dutch trance scene and this has helped a host of today’s top DJ’s be where they are now. His infectious music spread further in 1999 to Germany, Italy and the world and now Airwave is a very popular name on the EDM scene with a huge, loyal fanbase.

Versatility and great skill in the studio led to many collaborations including with his friend Jurgen Leyers with Fire & Ice and E.N.E.R.G.Y., Georges Petkidis on Planisphere and Marnik Braeckevelt with Antidote. The list continues with many other greats including Yves Deruyter, M.I.K.E., Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Tale, Marcus Schulz and John 00 Fleming, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Breaking boundaries and turning his hand to many genres of music Laurent has as many as 500+ productions and remixes under his belt. Laurent then started to develop his DJing and live performances and has played in some big venues, Slinky, Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, The Gallery, 1015, Dopler in Bratislava, and many others back in the day.

In 2000 he embarked on a new wave of performance with gigs all over the world in England, Scotland, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Canada, Netherlands, Spain, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, South Africa, with totally improvised keyboards while DJing and the Triloset was born and continues to this day.

Fast approaching 20 years in the business, Laurent can never be pigeon-holed to one genre as his impressive list of albums will attest. His first album Believe in 2002 performed very well and this was to do well again in the 2004 album I Want To Believe. Trilogique soon followed and it is now that Laurent’s passion starts to come through in a big way. Released first in 2006 this album contains three parts, bringing the audience three different tastes of electronic music into one single package, Trilogique would go on to be a huge success reaffirming Laurent’s position in EDM. Many more albums followed and each have made their mark on the world.

Time saw him finally running Bonzai Records with his long time partners and friends, and also expanding his knowledge of acoustics in order to develop his career as a producer and as a sound designer among others.

Laurent runs a monthly radio show called Progrez where he showcases a wide range of music, this is followed religiously by his army of fans the world over. Music that is full of emotion, special and unique with expressed feelings, many have claimed it has changed their lives for the better. When there are discussions on greats of EDM the name Airwave/Laurent always crops up.

He has a deep respect among his peers for his beliefs on the industry and he speaks honestly about how he feels and where he sees his musical vision take him. 

One of the most gifted artists of our time and with a passion still very strong we are sure to see a lot more from this man. Laurent’s works under many of his guises can be found at all good download stores and a comprehensive list of his various aliases can be found at Bonzai Music artist pages or Discogs.
