GET TO KNOW: Madeon

     Let's get one thing straight, 18 year old frenchie Madeon is the most promising young music talent in the world. It was one year ago that the young gun released a video (below) of him performing his live mashup "Pop Culture" sampling 39 different tracks. It was not long after the spread of this video that Madeon became a household name in the world of electronic dance music, and 12 months later, here we are. In his young life, he has released numerous HUGE tracks each demonstrating just how talented and creative this kid is. In the latest installment of Digital Dankness's GET TO KNOW series, we will take you through his young career to catch you up with a guy that has endless possibilities going forward...

Madeon who isn't old enough to enter pacha General Admission at just age 18 is going to play the well known venue July 28. Be sure to check this kid out!

The video for Madeon's hit "Pop Culture"

Damn, "Pop Culture", that's 39 tracks in 3 minutes mixed so well it sounds like one. But before I get ahead of myself, let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start:

Here is one of his very first tracks released, a remix of The Killers that was released Jan 1, 2010. "Smile Like You Mean It" does a great job foreshadowing his poppy yet electro sound that we would all grow to love.

"For You" was released shortly after, and to this day is still one of my favorite of his releases

Love this one too, but who am I kidding? they're all great!

Along with his groovy originals, his remix of "The Island" and "Raise Your Weapon" below, and most recently his remix of "The Night Out" got him some notoriety for his ability to throw his signature sound on others' well-known tracks, making them better than they already were

His first big release of 2012 was "Icarus"

His creative twist on Martin Solveig's single leaves you asking one question: "Hey baby, what's that sound?"

To finish things off, Madeon's newest track titled "Finale" proves yet again that this kid is capable of big things.


There you have it, that's it for this installment of GET TO KNOW. Can't wait to see what Madeon has in store for the rest of the year, and the rest of his hopefully very long, successful career. Let us know what you think of our GET TO KNOW's and any suggestions or whatever.
