laurent zappone

Laurent Zappone was born in Luxembourg city in 1981. He had his first contact with electronic music at the age of 7 when he discovered his grandmothers..record collection. At that time Herbie Hancock and Kraftwerk influenced him a lot.At the age of 14 Laurent began to celebrate small parties in his grandparents..garage. A standard soundsystem and a tiny room decorated like a club were enough for him and his friends to party. Every weekend he watched house TV and became more and more interested in electronic sound.2 years later he started to go to clubs with friends. They partied all night long at the cafedelagare in Luxembourg city with the "new" top DJ..s like Hell, Miss Kittin or....Sven Väth. After buying two Technics decks he started to get the latest techno records from a Saarbrücken record shop. Now nothing could stop him and he did not stop practising. More and more he integrated the clubbing scene and went to events like Nature One, I love techno, Time Warp, travelled to Ibiza and went to his first afterhours. In 2003 he became resident at the club 88 in Luxembourg and played at locations like the Elevator (Lux) Deepclub (Ger) and Jetsetclub (Bel). In 2006 he moved with his friend Tim Oe to Frankfurt am Main. They played together under the project name USIONAK3000. He went to school of audio engineering (SAE). There Laurent learned a lot more about the technical aspects of electronic music. In FFM he had small gigs in clubs like TanzhausWest, Vinylbar, Lalamamoona and Studio 26 and partied in clubs like Robert Johnson, Watergate and DC10 which all influenced him a lot
