Llorca

Ludovic Llorca is a composer who spent his youth in the north of France, learning music-making with computers (Commodore 64 and Amiga). After releasing a couple of techno / house 12" records on small labels, he signed an artist contract with French label F Communications in 1997, releasing three EPs, followed by an LP, Newcomer, in 2001. The album's huge success (more than 170,000 copies sold) led him to stages around the world, touring for more than three years with musicians and singers, performing live at famous festivals (Montreux, Nice, Vienne, Den Haag, Les Vieilles Charrues) and in prestigious venues.

After releasing a mixed compilation, My Playlist for Wagram Records in 2005, covering a wide range of musical genres, Ludovic focused on remixing, working for respected labels such as 2020Vision, Freerange, Compost Records, Brique Rouge, Music Man, and Chez Records, to name just a few. His efforts were rewarded by high-quality compilation licenses (Fabric 33) and critical acclaim: "The recent Art Of Tones release featured an awesome remix from Llorca which probably was our favorite 2020Vision release of the past year. Llorca is now given the almighty 2020Vision Soundsystem to remix and he comes up trumps with another sterling remix." (Phonica)

Contacted by French DJ and producer Claude Monnet to join the Back To Fundamentals compilation stable, Ludovic released the track under a new pseudonym, Miamik. Insatiable, featuring female singer Tanya Michelle, reached 8,000 downloads in a couple of months. The track quickly became a house anthem and was featured on many compilations.

While Llorca chose his family name as an artist alias, he also uses different monikers for various projects. One of them is the Art Of Tones project, which started as an exclusive moniker for 2020Vision records and is Ludovic's most electronic and edgy project. After a couple of followed releases, Praise became one of 2007's tracks, receiving positive feedback from big-name DJs and license requests for a plethora of brilliant compilations.

Ludovic, whose work is now mainly released through the prestigious German label Room With A View, also composed soundtracks and bed music for TV commercials and websites, working with famous brands such as Hennessy, Boucheron, Waterman, and Yves Saint-Laurent. As a DJ, his wide musical range enabled him to be booked in famous European and American clubs, playing in Moscow, Vancouver, London, and Hamburg.
