Laidback Luke is turning back time—sonically, at least with his latest single, “It Clicked”. This new track marks a return to the raw, rebellious energy that first put him on the map. Out now on Dim Mak, the track channels the bold, high-energy sound of early Dutch house and Bloghouse, a style that fueled his rise in the underground electronic scene.
Laidback Luke Returns to Unapologetic Energy
For years, Laidback Luke experimented with streaming-friendly production, adapting to the industry’s evolving demands. Now, he’s breaking free. “I want to return to being me—unapologetically me, which I haven’t felt since 2012,” Luke says. “I’m bringing back that big, crazy energy—early Dutch house meets Bloghouse. I want to sound loud, harsh, and funky again.”
The new single pulses with gritty beats, funky rhythms, and electrifying tension, reminiscent of the underground pioneers he once stood alongside—Crookers, Switch, and The Bloody Beetroots. “It Clicked” isn’t just another Laidback Luke track; it’s independence, a celebration of the raw, unfiltered dance music that built his legacy.
Finding a New Home at Dim Mak
For Laidback Luke, joining Dim Mak is more than a label signing—it’s a homecoming. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation as a boundary-pushing artist, one who continuously reinvents his sound while staying true to the underground culture that shaped him. Dim Mak, known for its rebellious, genre-defying ethos, is the perfect platform for his latest sonic evolution.
Founded by Steve Aoki, Dim Mak has long been a haven for artists who thrive on bold experimentation. The label has housed some of dance music’s most explosive names, including The Chainsmokers, Bloody Beetroots, and Deorro. For Luke, the partnership feels deeply personal. “I saw Steve Aoki at Tomorrowland and pulled him aside to tell him, ‘Dude, I’m about to be signed to Dim Mak!’” he recalls. “Steve was like, ‘That’s an honor. Welcome to the family.’”
The connection between Luke and Aoki runs deeper than music. Both artists share an underground mindset, a love for chaotic energy, and a desire to create unfiltered dancefloor moments. By signing with Dim Mak, Luke is embracing his origins while forging a bold new path, one that prioritizes artistic freedom over algorithm-driven hits.
