Laidlaw

The London bounce between house and garage

The tension between house, UK garage, and spatialized funk defines Laidlaw's territory: club-pulsing sessions, elastic bass, and a very physical reading of the dancefloor. His growth is tied to London, where he has built an identity as a new-school underground selector without detaching from the roots of warehouse sound, 4x4 grooves, and crossovers with minimal.

Beeyou as a meeting point

Beyond his work in the booth, Laidlaw is a co-founder of Beeyou, a platform that has functioned as a label, event brand, and community around a very specific idea of dance: long atmospheres, warm energy, and programming oriented toward getting lost in the sound. From there, he has established himself as a figure associated with contemporary house nights, with an aesthetic that avoids the obvious gesture and bets on transitions with swing, bouncy basslines, and cuts with a UK garage flavor.

FUSE, Infuse and the European circuit

His relationship with FUSE and Infuse has reinforced his position within the British house and minimal circuit. In recent years, he has shared lineups and booths at major spaces and brands for club culture, with activity in London, Amsterdam, Manchester, and Ibiza. His journey includes clubs like 93 Feet East, fabric, The Loft, 528 Ibiza, and Mint Warehouse, as well as environments like SlapFunk, Dimensions, Gottwood, VBX, and dates on the White Island. In video and audio, his recent phase is represented by a three-hour sunrise set at Lost Beach Club in Montañita and a Live+ recording in Room 1 of fabric during its 26th anniversary.

Dancefloor production and own catalog

As a producer, his catalog combines digital releases and vinyl on labels such as Beeyou Records, Sonder London, Gottwax Recordings, Rhythm Science, Solid Grooves Raw, On Loop, and Ancient Harmony. On Bandcamp, he has developed his own line with references like Days are cool, SUNDAY KREW, WHAT'U'GON'DO, A Touch Of Alchemy, and the album The Zodiac 'Written In The Stars', released in 2024. Added to this are cuts like Be Yourself, The Prophecy EP, The Twisted Knee EP, Flip Flop, and House of Dub, which place his production between functional house, minimal texture, and garage bounce. Currently, Laidlaw operates in a very recognizable zone of the European underground: dance music with a community vocation, with the craft of a selector, his own brand behind him, and an increasingly international agenda.
