Bio: Calm, collected, and shy are three words that do not describe Lauren Flax . Precise, intense, and grounded are more like it. Though she appears ... (more)
as small and waiflike, don’t be fooled, she uses all her power to put full force into her music. Sit back and she'll take you on a journey through the lost depths of Narnia. With a decade of musical adventuring under her belt she's played every major city in America and most across the Atlantic as well. Her keen knack for reading crowds is unmatched- her eclectic taste in dance music invariably manages to get everyone in the room moving. It's clear how much fun Lauren has when she plays, and how much she enjoys her sets. Her energy is infectious and nobody could ever accuse her of treating music like a "job".
She has collaborated with everyone from FischerSpooner to Internationally known singer Sia, best known for her work with Zero 7. Lauren was born and raised in the city of Detroit birthplace of Motown and Techno and has shared the stage with an amazing array of talent: DJ Heather, Disco D, Carl Craig, Jungle Brothers, Green Velvet, Derrek May, Kevin Saunderson...the list goes on and on. Lauren also recently DJ'd for none other than Madonna on the Hard Candy TV Special featured on the Fuse music channel. (In fact, Madonna stopped in to see her at her Williamsburg show with FischerSpooner) She has also been busy remixing for friends such as Le Tigre, MEN (ex Le Tigre band member JD Samsons band), Telepathe and Morningwood and they are just a few examples of bands she has under her belt in that arena. Most recently her remix of HEARTSREVOLUTION's C.Y.O.A! was released on iHEARTCOMIX.
Lauren's compositions are becoming much more visible and known in the dance community, even though she has most often worked on film and television scores. Recently however, she has been concentrating on releasing on indie label Djs Are Not Rockstars, her first single titled "You've Changed" which enlists the vocals of Sia (zero7) with remixes by Larry Tee, Alexander Technique, Junior Sanchez , Dre Skull and more. (The single “You’ve Changed” will be digitally released July 21.)
Expect much more to come from Lauren Flax, including a stint as a guest band member for HEARTSREVOLUTION, who are currently on a world tour and in addition to her solo dates, continuing to DJ for Fischerspooner around the world throughout 2009.
