Laidback Luke

Lucas Cornelis van Scheppingen — Laidback Luke — began his career in electronic music in 1992, a starting point that places his professional history alongside the founding generation of house and techno DJs who built the European club scene. Born in Manila to a Dutch father and Filipina mother, he relocated to the Netherlands as a child and grew up in Hoofddorp, where he secured his first record deal at 18 through the mentorship of fellow Dutch DJ Gaston Steenkist (Dobre). He founded Mixmash Records as an independent imprint to release music outside major label constraints, and over three decades has built a catalog of collaborations with Swedish House Mafia, Steve Aoki, David Guetta, and James Brown, alongside remixes of recordings by Madonna, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Daft Punk, and Depeche Mode. His role in the rise of Dutch house and electro house music in the late 2000s is documented: within the cohort that includes Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, and Afrojack, Laidback Luke occupied a position defined by technical mixing precision and the ability to bridge underground credibility with commercial accessibility. In 2026, he re-signed with Pioneer DJ as a brand ambassador — reuniting with the company he originally represented during the CDJ-1000 era — and continues his CODE/RED World Tour. His Las Vegas residency brings that career-long technical discipline to Marquee Nightclub, Hakkasan, and Tao Beach, with a confirmed 2026 appearance at Hakkasan Nightclub on May 7, 2026.
