Laurence Guy returns to light up Australian shores this January 2024.

He is one of underground club music’s most trusted and compelling figures. Having crafted his own signature of sophisticated underground music, Laurence Guy has amassed a wide fanbase of loyal listeners and tastemakers - all of whom are united in an appreciation for his outstanding production abilities and talents as a DJ.

The UK born n’ bred DJ / Producer has become a mainstay on annual clubbing calendars, while his music is ubiquitous in record bags across the globe. 

His acclaimed solo projects have been released through various renowned labels such as Studio Barnhus, Mule Music, Ninja Tune, Shall Not Fade, and Late Night Tales, and has remixing credits for Dermot Kennedy, Sofia Kourtesis, Session Victim and Leisure.

A restless digger, Laurence can be found rummaging through the dusty crates of his local charity shops looking for samples to expand his sound palate. With such an active pursuit of music both old and new, Laurence has established himself as an admired selector, holding down a residency on London’s storied Rinse FM station while playing globally at some of the world’s most iconic dance floors from London's Printworks and Southbank Centre, Glastonbury, and Lost Village Festival through Paris’ iconic L'Olympia and sold out shows at the very venue in which he cut his raver teeth - Fabric. He continues to develop himself as a live artist, both solo and as part of the Circle Of Live family.

Laurence’s willingness to probe new styles and inspect unfamiliar spaces is part of what has led to him becoming one of the UK’s finest musical exports. From being one of the most promising talents in the scene, he has now become an established, prominent artist in contemporary house, whose distinctive artistry has led to worldwide acclaim and demand.
