Madeon Proves DJing is Art Mixed with Mad Skills

In his most recent live DJ demo, up-and-coming 17-year-old French DJ, Madeon, takes samples from 39 different songs and layers them into a masterpiece of it’s own. Through most of the track, I recognized which song the sound sample originated from. However, Madeon uses these small sound bytes as musical notes that are layered and rewritten into something complex and original.

There’s no question that I absolutely love the song, but what really blows me away is being able to see the thought and talent behind it. Had I just been sent a link to this track on sound cloud, I would have still deemed it amazing and listened to it on repeat. But actually watching Madeon scan his grid of sounds and select the perfect one at just the right time is awe-inspiring.
