Madeon – Finale
One of the most tagged tracks of the past week has been Madeon’s massive synth whoomper of a track, ‘Finale’. If you’re looking for a pre-going out hype tune, a just-back-from-the-club-dancing-on-the-kitchen-table-at-a-house it’s the perfect blend of dubstep and stadium rock with electro undertones, featuring vocals from Walk The Moon’s Nicholas Petricca.
The French producer (real name Hugo Pierre Leclercq) has been making music since the tender age of 11, just 7 years ago, as it happens. Are you jealous of his talent much? If not, then read on for tales of just how accomplished his talent is. when he was 16, Leclerq entered a remix competition with his version of Pendulum’s ‘The Island’. He described that track as featuring “synth micro-cuts, chip raps a vocal morphing into a dubstep wobble and other weird stuff.” Pendulum obviously liked it, as Madeon won the competition…
For someone so young, Madeon is a formidable talent. And just to show how much faith he has in pursuing music – he doesn’t have any other career in mind. “My education had always been chaotic, so music is virtually my only career plan,” he said in an interview with The Worst Guy. “In the short term I’m having a lot of fun doing music right now so I will pursue it and see where it gets me. I wish to continue making music for as long as possible, in various forms and styles, and with various goals.”
We can’t wait to see where he goes next…
