UKF Meets - Madeon

[@holon555]

Been on Madeon bandwagon since 2011. The evolution is incredible!!

[@mrmcnuckle4356]

holon555 has your flower blossomed?

[@solenyamusic]

same here! it's amazing how far he has gone :D

[@gonnyloyd]

And now, is just perfect!

[@Urix9999]

Adventure was such a perfectly crafted album.

[@VadimkaMr]

Urix9999 not really, few tracks ok.

[@syxmi]

VadimkaMr all tracks are perfect.

[@TheMusicGuard]

VadimkaMr music is subjective but Madeon's album is probably the best Electronic Music album I've ever heard, unreal.

[@VadimkaMr]

EDM SETS listen to GusGus - Arabian horse. that's a proper Electro album

[@joeyvenal7304]

Porter Robinson's Worlds was pure craftsmanship

[@Hooked0nDub]

Madeon is one intelligent young lad wow impressed

[@mayomonki]

Madeon is amazing. Being a drop out yet studying and trying to composing music at age eleven, and accidentally turning into a DJ is such an unusual thing. He also has many colorful vocabularies in English and I can tell that he's intelligent. The adorable combination of pop with electronica tracks, and some including an amazing inspirational lyrics will make people know how much of an amazing producer he is. You rock, Madeon. ♥

[@officersnails9674]

he is one of the most talented if not the most talented edm producers right now. So much respect for you kid!

[@wepoststuff]

This fool is as old as me and he's already a famous producer who dropped out of school, pretty damn amazing/inspiring. Also, that morse code trick was insane. Really cool that he did that.

[@SAM-yq2lm]

Fool? 😂 Show some respect fool, its Madeon

[@wepoststuff]

@@SAM-yq2lm English must not be your first language or else you would know that I'm using fool as a term of endearment since I go on to compliment him

[@theGrouch89]

This kid is well beyond his years. One of the immensely positive things about finding what your true passion is at such a young age and being able to pursue it with such focus. Life is too fucking short to be enslaved to soul-stealing 9-5

[@Jay-407]

Quit school and sleep deprivation. Got It!

[@beerad_98]

This kid as well as his sort of alter-ego (Porter Robinson) have done something pretty controversial in EDM music. They are taking electro back to the Daft Punk/Deadmau5 music type style as compared to Dubstep crap that has blown up within the past decade. They put a lot of personal sounds and feelings into their art. It's extremely entertaining and personal. These guys are likable, have a lot of talent, and I see them making it big in the future. MUCH RESPECT MADEON!!!

[@farfromsensibletv]

Braeden Gann Porter Robinson isn't his alter-ego. he's a completely different person. An alter-ego is like how Marshmallo is (rumoured to be) Dotcom's alter-ego. The same person.

[@beerad_98]

farfromsensible I know, guess I used it the incorrect way. They are completely different people. I guess I just said something like that because they have fairly similar mindsets and passions that shaped their music. Guess I should say "related artist" so that no one has to waste time correcting on my constructive comment.

[@skymoosic]

This is inspiring af

[@Capo98y]

Madeon is a fucking genious...

[@beerad_98]

genius*

[@MockingbirdInc]

3:08 For those of you who haven't memorized the tracklist, Track 7 is Imperium and Track 11 is Pixel Empire.

[@leu5210]

This is the reason I admire madeon ,he is always true to himself and indulge in his DJing job. How lucky this talented dude could discover what he love and love what he did!!!

[@crzy9310]

Won a meet and greet with him before his show in Columbus! Such a nice guy and such a talented and unique artist!

[@nishantgrover101]

crzy9310 That's awesome bro!

[@ilianacalista]

This is reeeeaaaly of topic but, about how tall do you think he is?

[@ilianacalista]

I want to say somewhere around 5'11 but I'm not quite sure

[@crzy9310]

5'10 maybe I'm 6' and at least had a few inches on him

[@SecondUniverse101]

i still dont understand why true musicians like him dont get the attention which clowns like hardwell or garrix get but on the other side maybe thats good so his fans are completely there because the music and nothing else..

[@AlexisPerge]

Second Universe because it's not "mainstream", i think. It's not really about music anymore these days, when you see top 10 beatport, or fucking Nicky Minaj etc.. Personally, i'm having many good times listening to Madeon and his powerful melodies,

[@nexa6280]

Alexis Perge Agreed, marketing is more powerful than it has ever been. Publicity makes a huge difference whether you "make" it or not.

[@Jenna-y7d]

+Alexis Perge I want him to be preserved as himself now, not distrubed by external things.. I think most madeon's fan will agree on this.. Because he's not "mainstream", so he can write his own songs and we love it!

[@dalovelee666]

+Second Universe Because true musicians actually LOVE and are passionate about their music and have a process. The "clowns" you refer to appeal to the mass marketing...and they are just churning out music that anyone on molly can just be happy to dance to, listening to Madeons you know it's not just dance but you are listening to his journey.

[@sebastianlindgren7343]

As an electronic musician I can agree with you that musicians like Madeon deserve more recognision, however it's not the "clowns' " fault that it works like it does today. It's more about how the audience decides to involve and record companies seeking out what appeals to said audience. I personally love music from almost every artist because I get the chance to interpret it in my own way, whether it be a absolute genius like Savant or a naive spinnin' artist like Jay Hardway. It's still music whether you can dance to it or write a story of it, but what matters is that the creator is acceptant of other peoples art and fans. That's how you define a true musician

[@DavidFeldmanMusic]

few years later and still relevant and motivating !

[@jonahtatum1803]

0:33 I got chills so hard when he talked about that. That's pretty much where I am right now in school.

[@retek8182]

great interview! Thanks UKF

[@angelinapetunia]

I haven't listened to his tracks in soooo long, I know why I'll be listening to all day long ^~^ Madeon is amazing!

[@DipTheTaco]

His nose is funny. Also Madeon is amazing, seriously love his content so much

[@NOCLUEinvalid]

Taco Dip now i can't stop staring at his nose!

[@artsy618]

I was in a store recently and when I heard Madeon playing I started freaking out

[@Nathanator]

SAME

[@Redtenbachersfunkestra]

Thanks for sharing these insights!

[@klkenyon2]

the morse code thing is crazy!

[@mayomonki]

I also (didn't know how I felt like but I was probably melting) freaked out when someone figured out the secret messages that were hidden in the MV of "You're On" that said: "The City is your home forever." It feels like it's a message showing us fans that we are like, 'inside' his music. xP

[@BatmanHQYT]

Always fascinated by him and his music. Sleep deprivation to bolster creativity, fun

[@erlendlongva6919]

Amazing artist, and awesome interview!

[@shadowThehedgehog401]

people like savant, porter robinson, madeon, zedd are example of good producers

[@Ramix09]

joel?

[@haskamoosic9371]

cookieMonstaxD what about virtual riot

[@SAM-yq2lm]

@@haskamoosic9371 Yeaahhhhhh Virtual Riot is definitely self made

[@rebecalopez7902]

Madeon is one of my favorites! Hugo 3 his tracks are pure gold!

[@HikariSakai]

songs in the video: Song #1: Madeon - Icarus (I heard it in Forza Horizon 1 :p) Song #2: Madeon - Pay No Mind (Thanks to Julio in the comments) Song #3: Madeon - The City Song #4: Madeon - You're On (Thanks to Julio in the comments) Song #5: Madeon - Technicolor Song #6: Madeon - Imperium (Thanks to Julio in the comments)

[@HikariSakai]

[@InfiniteLives8]

It's kinda weird that i heard all of these songs before. When i hear them I'm like "Yep, i know that song."

[@1300zw]

***** Correction: Icarus (Fred V & Grafix Remix)

[@HikariSakai]

1300zw its not the Drum & Bass version m8 lol

[@UKF]

***** You know they're all in the description, right? :)

[@adambozdech3983]

This guy is very talented! He deserves more popularity!

[@fixforce3688]

Probably one of the most talented producers IMHO.

[@MrAurelianoscop]

Ton album tourne en boucle dans ma voiture ^^ vivement le prochain. !!!!

[@swimsuitcookies]

does anyone have a link where madeon talks about how he messed up and accidentally stopped the music and freaked out??

[@tonymujica3269]

Search on KZbin, "Madeon playing at the nest", and it will be the first video. Just found it right now lol.

[@nishantgrover101]

His music is amazing!!!!!!!!

[@wireoneunplugged]

One of the most talented producers in history

[@matthieu71]

FYI this guy is French... and his English is perfect !

[@shrineofbeats6447]

Virtual Riot surprised me more though!

[@italyisntreal]

Guy love his music,can I download on my tablet while I play?Please?

[@marielouisehansen2290]

What a great interview!!👌🏼

[@MakeAcid]

you can't be serious i thought typing the morse code was all to crack the code

[@marv92]

***** lol .D

[@VitaliyAL]

Marvin Borisch help out

[@marv92]

VitaliyAL I only could crack the dots in the Videos but not on the Album. Google for "madeon adventure code reddit" and join th discussion and check out the informations posted there, maybe you can find it out with the ideas posted there. It's pretty hard.

[@MakeAcid]

Marvin Borisch are you talking about the code that appears on the CD that at the end are coordinates to create the diamond logo?

[@marv92]

***** Yep, there is more to it , we just don't know what. According to Hugo himself the code haven't been cracked yet. I've tried, too, but couldn't crack it completely. I might have a feeling that's telling me that if the code gets cracked, he will release Video #3, let's hope some smart-ass can do it :D

[@legendswordch6220]

Good faith era has start and i came back to watch this interview

[@shrineofbeats6447]

I'm still living in The City Era!

[@shrineofbeats6447]

😂

[@NOCLUEinvalid]

yay madeon finally answers what the deal was with him + school

[@vincentkahlert953]

so far this person is amazing!

[@Natzure]

Great interview!

[@Nathanator]

Fucking legend!!!!

[@derpedfox]

Jesus fucking christ didn't expect the Technicolor secret is THAT hardcore

[@edgardjimenez4250]

Bruh your songs are so inspiring

[@Urix9999]

I'm not worried about the change he seeks in his musical style because he did venture out into some Future Bass on 2-3 tracks of the Adventure album.

[@walskynnerofficiel]

I should try out the 24 hour technique

[@nishantgrover101]

Wal Skynner Lol ikr!

[@sorrowfulsatchel679]

Can someone give me a link to the video on the tv at 4:15?

Could someone write the interview cause i don't get all of it and the subtitles of youtube are crap

[@1800LeafSoup]

MADEON IS BAE!!!!!!!!!!

[@ink7538]

Hugo's so cute xD

[@retrobluemusic]

madeon is inspiring!

[@aGenuinePresence]

He's French right?

[@geovannysermeno9530]

Yes!

[@ThePalexio]

Nice VO edits, guys. Not suspicious at all.

[@RaQeesrocks]

Madeon i love you

[@Tomb0mb19]

COME TO THE UK !!!!!!

Wich is the 4:22 video?

[@guesswhaaat8006]

Best electronic producer ATM

[@theGrouch89]

guesswhaaat Beg to differ, I think Seven Lions is for sure but Madeon is most definitely in the top 5..imo

[@caiodovallis5374]

What it Nev and madeon work on a song together ? Would be epic ...

[@T4xEvader]

Caio Do Vallis Nev only plays the launchpad. So he could recreate a song of madeon's, but Madeon already does that on his tours. Nev doesn't actually make any music.

[@qoobiq]

Caio Do Vallis Nev? Really? Are you kiddin? What did you find under Nev? Talent? Production skills? Nice catchy melodies? None, for sure. I never understand why so many people are fans of him. The real talents have less of attention, but they deserve it 1000 times.

[@yogi8387]

Hugo almost never do any interviews.. Please UKF do one when he release new album this year

[@Shaykker]

Have someone seen the microphone at min 6:14 ? :P
