LB aka LABAT

LB aka LABAT brings a tactile, physical energy to electronic music that feels increasingly rare in the digital age. His sound is defined by the swing of the MPC and the grit of analog circuitry, blending the soulful sampling traditions of hip-hop with the high-octane drive of modern techno and house. It is music that feels alive, breathing with the slight imperfections and heavy saturation of hardware gear.

What truly sets him apart is the sense of playfulness and 'groove' he injects into high-tempo tracks. While many of his peers lean into cold, industrial textures, LABAT maintains a sunny, often euphoric disposition. He uses vocal chops not just as rhythmic elements, but as emotional anchors that give his tracks a human heart amidst the squelching 303 basslines and thumping kicks.

Start with 'Feel So Good Around U' to hear his ability to craft a peak-time anthem that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. It captures the essence of his 'Poumpet' sound: fast, soulful, and undeniably fun. From there, explore his live sets to understand how he manipulates three MPCs simultaneously to create a wall of sound that never loses its swing.
