Lemaitre

Lemaitre is a Norwegian electronic duo consisting of Ketil Jansen and Ulrik Denizou Lund, formed in Oslo in 2010. Their sound identity is a sophisticated blend of electro house, nu-disco, and indie pop, often compared to the 'French Touch' movement of Justice and Daft Punk but with a distinct Nordic melodic sensibility.

The duo's career arc saw them gain rapid international attention through their 'Relativity' EP series, eventually leading to a move to Los Angeles and a deal with Astralwerks. Their music is characterized by a high degree of technical proficiency, featuring complex synth programming alongside organic instrumentation like piano and electric guitar. Critically, they are praised for their ability to maintain a 'live' energy within a digital framework. They occupy a unique cultural space between the EDM festival circuit and the indie-rock blogosphere, successfully collaborating with diverse artists like Anna of the North and The Knocks. Their influence web connects the disco-revivalism of the late 2000s to the more song-oriented electronic pop of the 2020s.
