lau.ra — London
Billboard "this is what the future sounds like."
Future Music Magazine “Laura Bettinson’s music juxtaposes involved rhythms and intriguing sonic textures with catchy vocals and killer hooks”
Guardian “production-wise there are lots of interesting little sonic flourishes”
Wonderland “with an ear for the retro and an eye for the future”
Schon! “Laura Bettinson, has always kept it weird. Since 2008, she has performed synth-heavy electro-pop, and now, the singer is moving closer towards club music territory.”
From forging paths in avant-pop and now turning her hand to wonky dance floor heaters, according to Billboard Dance "this is what the future sounds like."
lau.ra is the new project from producer, DJ and vocalist Laura Bettinson. Hailing from the Midlands but residing in London, you may know Bettinson as 1/3rd of Ultraísta with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. Now Bettinson turns her attention to her own solo electronic music, dancing deeper into her role as producer and DJ with her first single released at the end of 2019, on Mike Mago’s BMKLTSCH RCRDS. The next single from lau.ra dropped in February 2020 via London-based Needwant Records. It has achieved great success especially on bbc 6music where the track was picked up as Nemone’s recommends and taken all across the station from Steve Lamacq’s round table to Lauren Laverne recommends. Next single will be out on 12th June, after the huge success of her collaboration with BRONSON, which is ODESZA and Golden Filters. Laura has also recently signed a deal with Ninja Tune’s publishing arm Just Isnt Music, with 4 syncs just at the start of 2020.
“The music i’ve been making over the past 6 months is a whole new sound for me that required a whole new project. For the first time I want to release new music under my own name and have felt more supported as a self-producing artist in electronic music than I ever did in pop.”
Laura has previously featured on tracks by Sasha, Justin Martin, Cristoph, Four Tet, Maribou State, Huxley and David Lynch with many more collaborations in the works for 2020.
DJ performances has taken lau.ra everywhere from USA, Mexico, Russia, China, Netherlands, Sweden as well as a host of club nights and festivals in her home country UK.
