LA native Le Youth<\/a> has ploughed his way through the blogosphere and is finally gaining the recognition he deserves on this side of the water.<\/p>\n

Le Youth’s hazy take on tattered remnants of 90s R&B tracks, juxtaposed with a Italo-retro style, still feels completely contemporary. In fact, his velvety summer anthems have catapulted his debut EP, C O O L, into the UK top 10. So suffice to say, C O O L, his spin on the original Cassie classic ‘Me &U’, feels like it was destined to do great things in 1993 – or 2013, whatever.<\/p>\n

What sorts of music were you listening too growing up and how has that influenced the sounds that you create?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I grew up listening to a lot of pop music and whatever was on the radio. That’s probably where my love for catchy music came from. I used to spend hours and hours in my room listening to the radio. <\/p>\n

When did realise you had such a passion for music production?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been in other projects before Le Youth but the writing process was still the same. Making music has always been a solo thing for me. I guess I probably don’t work well with others. My interest in DJ’ing came out of the necessity for Le Youth to play live. I had dabbled in DJing in the past but didn’t discover my love for it until more recently. <\/p>\n
