Laurence Guy

London-based producer and DJ Laurence Guy crafts dance music centered on emotional resonance, drawing from sensations of comfort, nostalgia, and melancholy alike. His productions blend carefully selected samples with rich chord work, summoning the most welcoming and enveloping qualities of deep house. He has issued music through Church, Shall Not Fade, and Mule Musiq, amassing more than a dozen EPs alongside the albums Saw You for the First Time in 2017 and Living Like There's No Tomorrow, But Killing Yourself in the Process in 2023. Further singles such as "Most Perfect People (Are Mostly Not Perfect)" surfaced in 2024.

Early influences came from drum'n'bass and dubstep, leading him to perform in London venues starting in the early 2010s. His first releases arrived via several 2015 EPs, among them the vinyl debut Kojak on Church. A 2016 split EP with Michigan's Todd Osborn, also known as Soundmurderer, came out on Cin Cin, while Bamboo and Thinking of You appeared that same year. Church put out his 2017 debut album Saw You for the First Time, noted for its jazz inflections and featuring Steve Spacek alongside Contours. Subsequent EPs carried titles including Making Music Is Bad for Your Self Esteem and The Sun Is Warm and Directly Above You, surfacing on Studio Barnhus, Mule Musiq, and Shall Not Fade. He has also supplied remixes for Session Victim, Sofia Kourtesis, and Barry Can't Swim. His follow-up album Living Like There's No Tomorrow, But Killing Yourself in the Process arrived in 2023 on the Accidental Pieces imprint he runs himself. The 2024 tracks "I Made This to Play at Fabric," "Hey Baby," and "Most Perfect People (Are Mostly Not Perfect)" rounded out recent activity.
