Interludia

Belgian-born and Amsterdam based Monte La Rue has been a curious phenomenon since the release of his first compilation "Lounge Deluxe 1" in the summer of 1999.

Monte La Rue has since become a house hold name in New Zealand, due to the success of compilations like Welcome To Club Jazz Volumes 1 & 2, Latin Deluxe Volumes 1 & 2 and later installments of the excellent Lounge Deluxe series.

Resident DJ at the NL club in Amsterdam since it's opening night in 1999, Monte is well connected, vastly experienced and blessed with an incredible pair of ears. His connection with Cinq Etoiles has led them to become one of the most respected quality dance labels currently releasing music.

He has shared the decks with the likes of Waldeck, Kruder & Dorfmeister and Sven Van Hess, performed at Lowlands, Popkomm & Miami Winter Music Conference!

Finally he's taken time out from all of the above to work on an album of his own musical creation. "Interludia" the resulting adventures into the land of horizontal listening is beatlessly beautiful!

"Interludia" is the surreal soundtrack to your lounge, any bodies' lounge, seriously laidback grooves for seriously laidback groovers.

"Balearic & laid back to the point of terminal sloth, it's like ancient Tom Waits rhythm tracks remixed by Chris Coco, a soundtrack to sleeping on Sa Trincha Beach. More Moet than Marijuana, mind you"

A fine debut album, well worth the wait!
