Hiding behind the stage name Le Motel is 22-year old producer and graphic designer Fabien Leclercq, a fresh-faced Brussels local who’s worked with Token BK, Curtis is Back and most notably Yellow Straps, a home-grown trio of self-taught bedroom musicians and long-time friends. Their track ‘Pollen‘ recently got picked up by Belgian DJ Lefto, spiking our interest to find out more with their very first interview last week. We then got Le Motel to let loose for the latest instalment in our exclusive mix series, going from bedroom to dance floor in one tight, 54-minute player. A bass-heavy mix that could just have well been recorded in some murky South London basement, it’s a blend of “baby making songs, juke, UK garage and voodoo culture.” Cue rapturous applause for a local boy made good.
