ERIC LAU Plays Sydney



UK producer Eric Lau hits Melt May 28th for Return Of The Real a night of Nu-Soul and Hip Hop beats.
The first time i heard Eric Lau was on the Guilty Simpson track from the Producer Nol 1 compilation. I'd never heard of him before but because he was on a track with Guilty called "For The D" i assumed he was some yet unknown Detroit producer.
Turns out i was wrong. Eric hails from the UK and gave up a university degree and career to follow his passion of making music. The result can be heard on his debut album fron Ubiquity Records entitled New Directions.
Eric's sparse beats are carried by off kilter drums and deep lush synth programming. Equally at home with singers or rappers they carry an air of sophistication and most definitely a sense of soul.
