Laidback Luke (born Luke van Scheppingen, 22 October 1976 in Manila, Philippines) is a Dutch DJ and producer. When he was a little boy DJ Laidback Luke used to love Mozart and Beethoven. Ever since he's tried to transmit the sounds of these composers into his music. He was voted #46 on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ list in 2008. Laidback Luke grew up in The Netherlands and made his name as a graffiti artist before turning to making music.
