Nineties sounds refracted through a thoroughly modern aesthetic. Tracks that are serious about moving a dance floor full of people without coming on too strong. Breezy California vibes touched by a twist of European flair. Wes James is the artist behind Le Youth. Songs like “C O O L,” “Dance With Me,” and “R E A L” pull a listener back to the pre­millennial, pre­-Internet days when dance music offered a transcendentally blissful brand of hedonism that’s harder to find in today’s macho­tinged EDM landscape. Le Youth has attracted the attention of taste­making dance music bloggers and DJ’s the world over, and his music has continued to impress with each successive release and well­ received remixes for the likes of Disclosure, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Sia, RAC, Jess Glynne, Tensnake, and Chromeo. Le Youth is continuing his hot streak in 2016 with new hits on the horizon.
