Lost Frequencies wants a Bollywood collab: ‘I’d love to do some Bollywood-style sessions!

Belgian DJ and music producer Felix De Laet, better known by his stage name Lost Frequencies, is keen to explore Bollywood music and collaborate with Indian artists. Having performed in India several times over the years, the artiste says he is fascinated by the way Indian music is finding its way into electronic music sets and productions.“I think it’s super interesting and I’m always intrigued to see how other artists interpret Bollywood and native Indian music into their sets or tracks. I do want to work with more Indian artists and would really like to do some Bollywood-style sessions! I recently did a Kesariya remix and worked on some edits that I played at the show,” he says.The DJ, who performed at Casa Bacardi Mountain Edition in Dehradun, says India's vibrant culture and audiences continue to draw him back. “I love playing in India, the culture over in this part of the world is so bright, colourful and I always feel a real natural kinship and bright energy when I perform. As my visits have grown across India over the years, I am always so proud to be supported by such a beautiful country and its people; the Indian music scene is also very diverse when listeners or fellow artists scratch beneath the surface and that is exciting to me,” he says.On performing against a mountain backdrop, he adds, “I feel like I can really tap into another side of energy in such a beautiful setting and audiences want music to match that, something I hope to bring to them with a mixture of classics and feel-good vibes — and lots of new music to make the show special!”Known for blending emotive melodies with dance-floor-friendly beats, Lost Frequencies says his creative process can begin with anything from a lyric to a melody or rhythm. “For me it can come from a range of places, sometimes a lyric when working with a songwriter or vocalist and then I will build a certain production around that, sometimes it is the other way around, focusing in on a specific vibe through a melody or rhythm. Sometimes that is more upbeat in the electronic world, sometimes it is more melancholy or pop-leaning, but I always want to bring a signature Lost Frequencies sound to everything I make. Feel-good and from the heart!”While technology and social media continue to change the electronic music landscape, he is optimistic about what younger artistes will bring to the genre. “I’m always excited to see new developments in the industry. Of course, many people share the passion of music as fans, artists, producers and people behind the scenes in all making this crazy industry tick along! But I think the fact that technology is constantly evolving and fresh ideas are being explored, that will always be a positive aspect to look forward to with what will come next and newer generations,” he says.Despite spending much of the year travelling for performances, the DJ reveals that he enjoys the quieter side of life, too. “That really I am a homebody! I travel so much with hundreds of shows a year, and for that I am so thankful for all my fans at my shows and festival appearances, there really is no feeling like that and being able to create and perform my music is still my dream come true. I appreciate the fun and travelling of being on tour which in turn also makes me appreciate the little things back in Belgium more, it’s a nice mix to have.”Get the latest Bollywood & Entertainment News, and more.
