The pseudonym Lost Frequencies emerged when Felix De Laet began utilizing vintage recordings, which he termed 'lost frequencies,' to construct his early electronic remixes. Born in Brussels in 1993, the Belgian musician has evolved from a SoundCloud-based producer into a global figure in the house music scene, balancing studio composition with extensive international performance schedules.
The Rise of a Global Hit
De Laet’s breakthrough arrived in 2014 with his remix of country artist Easton Corbin's track 'Are You with Me'. After the producer uploaded the remix to SoundCloud, Marwen Tlili of Armada Music identified the potential of the recording. Following its official release on 27 October 2014, the single reached the top of the Ultratop chart in Belgium by 15 November. Throughout 2015, the song achieved significant commercial success, peaking at number one in Australia and Austria while securing top-ten placements across Europe, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
