La Mverte – Influences

French artist La Mverte combines floods of Italo disco with metallic synths and muted rhythms to create a lively, post-disco signature sound. His upcoming EP, 'Through The Circles', will be released by Her Majesty's Ship on February 17th. Here are some of his greatest influences, as chosen by the man himself.
As a child, I began to discover music by browsing and picking in my parents’ cd collection. My mother was mostly into jazz, motown and disco, my father more into rock and new wave. I clearly remember when he made me listen to the Depeche Mode Live 101, telling me he saw them live at the time. I was captivated, magnetized by the music and the fantasy of feeling the music live. This is definitely one of the moments that led to me getting into music. So, this track, and especially this remix, is really important to me, as a production and the memories it holds. This is also one of the bands that is key for me and my friend Yan (Wagner, who appears on the track Crash Course and also runs his great solo project under his own name).
