Blending hip-hop roots with a deep love for house and breaks, Lyon-based DJ and producer LB aka LABAT has steadily carved his place in Europe’s underground music scene. Known for his energetic and unpredictable DJ sets, LABAT’s musical journey began as a beatmaker, drawing influence from the golden age of hip-hop. Transitioning onto turntables, he quickly gained a reputation for genre-blending sets that meld dusty samples, soulful house, rolling techno, and futuristic broken beat.

LABAT’s discography spans a variety of respected labels, including his own Poumba imprint alongside D.KO, Wolf Music, and Steel City Dance Discs. His 2017 debut album "Discoïd Tales" marked a breakout moment—fusing raw analog textures with sample-heavy funk.

He has continued to build on this approach, channeling diverse influences—ranging from Detroit house to UK bass—into hardware-driven productions that reflect his crate-digging sensibility. On the dancefloor, LABAT is known for his playful, vinyl-heavy style and infectious energy, regularly featured at revered clubs and festivals across Europe. His dynamic live sets are punctuated by offbeat selections, clever edits, and an unwavering commitment to groove, earning him a loyal following among dancers and fellow selectors alike.

Never settling for musical borders, LABAT continuously adapts, pushing forward with fresh ideas and collaborations, while staying true to the eclectic, soulful essence at the heart of his sound.
