When he first came in contact with dance music, some twelve years ago, Lucien had no idea how big it was going to be. Lucien: "Where I had hopes to see it evolve more melodically, it shifted towards the use of dry hard sounds and aggressive beats. In my productions I've always tried to make adrenaline and melody collaborate, trying to create layer after layer of sounds that interact, while the groove train takes off. I've always liked English bands like Leftfield, Dust Brothers (now Chemical Brothers), Fluke and Underworld because of their tight productions and high sound-quality level. Apart from that, they've inspired me to dig deeper into my Funk Function productions without having to hold back".
"In 1994 I visited the Ministry Of Sound Club in London, where I first heard Sasha and John Digweed play. Now, six years later, I see my DJ-ing expand internationally. And thanks to the success of the Funk Function tracks I find myself being asked to do remixes for John's Bedrock label, have Sasha, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman compiling my tunes on their compilations, guys I have respected for a long time.
Apart from the UK, America has got a strong scene with DJ's like Chris Fortier and Jimmy van Malleghem strongly supporting the Deeper Dance Vibe. In Holland it's starting to surface. Because of my strong affiliation with the deeper musical side of dance music I was very happy when I got the opportunity to shape the compilation series Singularity. It contains strong quality tunes that last and make you feel as if you've reached a point at which space-time has taken an infinite value.....and for the first time experienced dance".
