J Lauda

J Lauda – Artist Bio Raised in Buffalo, NY, J Lauda developed his sound at the intersection of two worlds: Buffalo’s raw electronic underground and Toronto’s thriving, world-class dance music scene just across the border. Exposure to both environments at an early age helped shape a musical identity rooted in deep atmosphere, emotional storytelling, and dance-floor precision. That foundation has led to a steady output of well-received original productions and remixes on respected labels including Univack Records, Mango Alley, Odd One Out, Manual Music, Pangea Recordings, SLC-6 Music, Massive Harmony, Soundteller, AH Digital, Slideways, MK837, Polyptych, and Mistique Music, among others. A standout moment in Lauda’s catalog came with his Univack Records release “Lifeline,” which was featured by Hernán Cattáneo on his Resident Podcast. The track later received official remixes by Hernán Cattáneo & Simply City, with Hernán supporting the record globally in his sets, including performances at major events such as Balance Festival. His follow-up Univack release, “The Frequency,” not only climbed the Beatport charts but also caught the attention of progressive house legend Dave Seaman, who featured it on his Selador Radio show—further extending Lauda’s reach within the international progressive community. Musically, J Lauda’s sound blends hypnotic, emotive melodies with punchy, driving drums, designed to lock listeners into a deep, evolving groove. His productions have received radio and playlist support from artists and tastemakers including Chicane, Yotto, Hernán Cattáneo, Dave Seaman, Sebastian Busto, Mateo Paz, Alec Araujo, Tim Penner, and others. As a DJ, Lauda brings the same philosophy to the booth—focused on journey-based sets, controlled energy, and long-form storytelling rather than quick peaks. He has shared the stage with and supported artists such as Paul Oakenfold, Above & Beyond, Seb Fontaine, Judge Jules, Josh Gabriel, and more.
