A long path covered since the very first parties at the Boy or Rex Club, where Laurent discovered the synthetic musics of house and techno...
He's at the time a student who just got graduated from the ENSCI, (French National High School of Creation). A cursus which enabled him to tame all the tools for creation, traditional and numeric. He takes part in many projects such as a CD deck for DJs.
Raves from early 90's are blooming. Laurent finds a new way of expression: the mix. He starts as a techno and trance DJ at Radio FG in 1991, and Djays at parties from 1992 on. In 1994, he gets interested in hardcore, new musical style just reaching France. Witnessing the impact of hardcore on the audience, Laurent tackles production and launches Epiteth rec, very first hardcore label in France.
For this new direction, he takes a new pseudo : Ingler. He produces many tracks for labels such as Epiteth rec.,Industrial Strength, Headfuck, Six Sixty Six, Shockwave... 4 years dedicated to hardbeat, moving dancefloors at Mayday, Mystery Land, Energy, travelling all over the planet to spread this hardcore energy burning deep inside of him.
He created a new label, called UW and released some records under the name HO.EXE between 1996 and 1999.
1998 will be a turning point. European techno, influenced by the US myth crosses the ocean to conquest Europe. This makes the perfect background to go back to less hard rythmics, try new sounds and new machines.
With SOUNDTRACKS, Ho asserts his capacity to work on new supports and open new perspectives. An essential contribution for the general evolution of an electronic French scene still shy, creating a unique footbridge to the impenetrable universe of contemporary art.
