With studio facilities in both London and Los Angeles, we’re well placed to connect with the huge variety of artists in these electronic music hotbeds – from Daddy Kev, to Flux Pavilion, TEED and many more. In our latest artist session we were delighted to be joined by Laura Escudé aka Alluxe, breaking down her recent track ‘On My Own’ in Ableton Live.
Laura’s alter ego Alluxe is an electronic music producer/controllerist who uses the most futuristic, hi-tech gear available. She’s an accomplished violinist, music producer, composer, controllerist and music technologist as well as knowing Ableton Live like the back of her hand. As well as being a Certified Ableton Trainer and CEO of Electronic Creatives, she’s worked with some of the biggest artists around including Kanye West, Jay-Z, Bon Iver, Herbie Hancock and Drake to name just a few.

In the video, Laura tells us of her inspiration for starting to produce electronic music – we got the lowdown on her latest work as a producer and show designer, which has included collaborating with artists including Herbie Hancock and Kanye West. We were given an insight into Alluxe’s musical background and production process, including her approach to programming drums and layering effects on vocals. Alluxe also sheds some light on some of her favourite production tools to work with, including software from Odesi, Serum, Native Instruments and Ableton.
