I don't think it;s quite fair to bash Laurent for doing more gigs and maybe distancing himself on social media.
Anyone that was involved in conversations here with him (and he used to post a lot) knows he went through some really difficult stuff with his family, and I don't blame the guy for trying to put bread on the table, especially when he's one of the few guys that's truly earned his place. It may require a bit of selling out, but he's not going to go full trance-step and EDM on us, and at least he's still rooted in the classics. Just look at the age of crowds in some of those videos; a lot of people in their 30's and even 40's, people who grew up with that music first time around. I hope he does cash in on the name he's built, couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
i do think he should perform his own music but having said that it becomes a cost efficiency thing; it's bloody expensive to put on a live tour, whereas just DJing requires you to turn up with a couple of USB sticks these days. Not to mention, when it's your own tour, all the liability is on you. Have a slow gig? Oh well the club will make it back next night/week. Have a slow live gig? Suddenly you're out tens of thousands.

Laurent however doesn't mention the release of this great remix at his FB page. I wonder why, as it is an awesome remix.
Edit: on the day of the release, which is today 19th January Laurent finally did mention this:
quote: | Among all the tracks of the early era of trance music, Odyssey to Anyoona is probably one of the most iconic tracks in its category for me. I personally was hunting into all record stores to get my hands on the vinyl release of this incredible “underground” version of a dance track by Jam & Spoon called “Find Me”, not knowing exactly what it was. Every time I heard it at clubs I was crying. Even Today it remains as remarkable. Mid 2012, I had the idea of remixing this track, just so that it stood the proof of time a little bit more, all I wanted was to add my touch to this beauty. No intention to release it at all. Getting that original Bulgarian voice off the original record was very painful to isolate from the rest of the elements (as I had no samples), but after lots of sweating, the rest came very quickly, in pure Airwave style of that time, as I was finishing my album Dark Lines within the same period. I never imagined that so many people today would support the release of my remix on an official record. It got plays from so many people and saw so much demand… Now, almost 6 years after, the reward is here for you my friends. My friend Jam El Mar has just released it on Markus Schulz ’s imprint, Coldharbour Recordings with a bunch of other great mixes. I hope you’re now as happy as I am! |

Sounds like bullshit, what label rejected his album? JOOF, Bonzai? |
Couldn't he just release it on his own label or bandcamp. There needs to be more consulting betweens labels and producers
