Keep It Cool

Andy Lau (a.k.a ND Lau): Keep it CoolLithuanian artist Andy Lau has been writing and performing his own exquisitely produced tech, house and progressive electronic dance music for ten years, sharing stages with everybody from Eddie Amador and Westbam to James Lavelle, Phill Hartnoll (Orbital), Armin van Buuren and Tiesto. Recognised locally as a pioneering, inspirational figure on Lithuania’s white hot underground club scene, he’s also recently been embraced by the likes of Underworld, who last year recruited him (alongside fellow producer Virus J) to be their only approved live support act for their 2007 tour of the Baltic States.Already a prolific remixer, Andy’s new single Keep It Cool is his debut original artist track, signaling a new stage in his fast growing career. Featuring a pumping baseline combined with acidy rave like synths, spongy percussion and uplifting vocal snippets, the track is a daring composition that’s versatile and energetic enough to fill any electro, techno, tech-house or even progressive dance floor.The upcoming release also features the debut remix of London alternative electro scenester Jonty Skrufff whose ‘Promise’ mix is already making waves. The renowned international DJ/ journalist labels his version ‘Alter-ego-meets-Justice-in-an-alley-and-beat-them-to-death techno punk' and has gained the immediate support of Ed Banger supremo/ Justice/ Daft Punk manager Pedro Winter (‘sounds loud-I'll play it for sure!’) and Alex Boys Noise (‘I like it, I try to play it,’) as well a whole host of other alternative tastemaker types including Larry Tee, Princess Superstar and Pet Shop Boy Chris Lowe (‘sounds great; I'm sure it's going down a storm.’)With additional remixes from Virus J and other Lithuanian artists, Keep It Cool is an essential selection for those interested in the sounds of the East clashed with the sensibilities and structures of the West.

Keep It Cool is available exclusively on TrackItDown.Net from January 28 released by Pro-duce records label and soon after it's going to be available on all other good websites.http://www.myspace.com/andylault
