Who the fuck is 1788-L?
After putting out a remix for Virtual Self last month, they followed up two weeks later with a new original, and now a week after that, a remix for Daft Punk. And usually when people think of remixing Daft Punk (dare they even contemplate such a thing), the last place they look is their Tron: Legacy album, yet… here we are.
And the thing about this remix is that even though there’s some Daft Punk at its core, it’s so unmistakably theirs own style now that it boggles the mind. Here you have one of the most legendary producer duos that has ever existed, and this person just took one of their tracks and remixed the ever-loving fuck out of it.
I know this is the most I’ve cursed in an article in a while, and it’s a bit unprofessional, but whoever 1788-L is has so much potential it’s mind boggling. It’s been years since an artist has come out of nowhere like this and made as much of a splash. The stats on the SoundCloud track alone are impressive without even taking the comments into account, which are 100% positive, by the way.
So who is 1788-L? Who the fuck cares, this is dope.
you all are just a bunch of people who do their best to try to formulate their own opinions and only stay on the safe side. anyway, this isn’t music. it’s noise. go listen to some avicii
Matthew, I just want to say that I appreciate the music you, Landon, and the other YourEDM writers suggest here, even if others might not. If people don’t like the kind of music YourEDM suggests, then they shouldn’t visit this website, in my opinion.
Let’s get to the main point of my comment: I know who 1788-L is. His identity, for some time, used to be out in the open for all to see, on his facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/1788l/about
He’s no rookie producer. As can be seen on what remains of his about page, he’s been making electronic music for years, having gained the support of artists such as k?d, Porter Robinson, and Adventure Club under previous aliases.
Soon after he released his second original track onto soundcloud, I checked that facebook about page and saw his real name. So at some point after that, he must have removed it.
Out of respect for his privacy, I won’t say his name here. What I will do is link to another EDM news website which found his facebook about page before he removed his real name from it: http://deugenemusic.com/this-new-producer-came-out-of-nowhere-to-give-virtual-selfs-particle-arts-an-insane-remix/ (The article starts off as a re-publishing of the original 1788-L YourEDM Particle Arts article, but it contains more content about his identity.) If that article gets edited or removed before you see it, then just DM me on reddit (u/Embryo_Yall) and I’d be glad to give you info on who 1788-L is.
No
Wow, this is great. Thanks for the link.
