Lemaitre are Ketil Jansen and Ulrik Denizou, a young Norwegian duo with the electronic universe at their feet. Their stunning new EP ‘Relativity 3’ is set for release on 4th March through Substellar Records and marks the start of what promises to be a remarkable year for the dynamic pair.
Taking inspiration from an assimilation of influences ranging from Daft Punk, Röyksopp, Justice, Ratatat, Phoenix and Noisia, Lemaitre’s sound is an eclectic mix of dreamy electro-pop with constantly evolving sonic layers and soundscapes, disco beats and catchy melodies. From the sublime opener ‘Continuum’ right through to the buoyant keys and playful house beats of closing track ‘Cut to Black,’ ‘Relativity 3’ is the product of two supremely talented and ambitious 20 year olds. On 5th February, Zane Lowe featured the pair as his ‘Next Hype,’ previewing ‘Continuum’ on his Radio 1 show.
Since forming, Lemaitre have reached number 1 in the iTunes dance chart in the US and Canada and number 9 in the UK. They count the likes of Madeon, Netsky and Porter Robinson as fans and have written a track for Camo & Krooked’s next album. Their live shows are more of a multi media event as they play with light, visuals and sounds to create an entertaining, visceral and thought provoking experience. The duo are involved in every step of the process from conception to performance.
With a promising year ahead of them and exciting tours on the horizon, Lemaitre are ready to kick-start 2013 with a ‘big bang.’ Live dates will be announced very soon.
