Affectionately nicknamed, ‘Wizard of OOZ’, Laurence is known for his say less, do more attitude toward the art of digging and DJing. His well-considered sets span the eclectic breadth of underground dance music and are encompassed by a deep, groove-ridden and soulful aesthetic with a tendency toward the obscure. Dub, reggae and jazz all inform the style of electronic music he plays and have done since he began collecting records aged 17.

Born and raised in South London, UK, Laurence is an artist, DJ and avid record digger/collector. Having grown up within his parent’s dance school, dance music and rhythm were instilled from a young age. Laurence worked at record shops from his late teens into early twenties and spent two years working and cutting his teeth playing at in-house parties at the infamous, Palace Vinyl from the tender age of 21. Laurence made his club debut aged 18 and has played across the UK and Europe since, including b2b sets with both DeWalta and Reiss (VBX).

As co-founder of The OOZ Collective, OOZ Records label and a resident DJ at OOZ and Palace Vinyl, Laurence has been gaining traction in London’s underground scene in recent times. Recent bookings include Fabric NYE 2023, Little Portland Street in support of Bushwacka and The Lion & Lamb with Shakolin (Closer) and Wiggle (2024) alongside Terry Francis and Harry McCanna.
