So, there's this guy named Hugo Leclercq and is better known by his stage name which is Madeon. He is a 17 years old DJ/producer (I listen to every genre. If I like something then I like it.) from Nantes, France. I first know him when a youtuber called Ian from Smosh tweeted one of Madeon's video and I clicked it and guess what? I was in love even though the video only showed his hands, his fingers pressing the buttons on the launchpad and oh, what wonderful music. It was on a night I was about to practice with soft pastels and I listen to the song repetitively :)
Pop Culture (live mashup)
39 songs in 1!
The fever's not gone just like that. I was so curious of his face and when I saw the suggested videos on the side, I saw a thumbnail of a video of him playing live at The Nest. I clicked on it because the thumbnail of the video showed his face. I watched the video and thought that he was cute. His performance wasn't bad either. In fact, it was awesomazing! He did make a mistake but that just shows that he's human :)
I clicked on part 2 and it goes on and then I Google searched him and found his Facebook, SoundCloud, Myspace and Twitter! :)
I also happened to search on Tumblr by the tag "Madeon" and found this amazing blog:
fyeahmadeon.tumblr.com
It's a blog for "Madeonites", for the people who likes Madeon and his creations! Hehehe :D
We're only a small group but I don't mind ;)
Listening to Madeon's Pop Culture has now become my daily routine and I'm serious. I listen to it repetitively but I also do click on other videos on YouTube ;) I saw pictures of him from various websites! Facebook, Tumblr, Stereosonic and Rukes (I'm not sure if I'm missing some websites).
Madeon's only 17 and he went to like ... what? Many clubs! Hahaha :D
He said that it's tricky as he cannot move around in the clubs he had attend. He could only perform, aww :p
^^^ He said that in a very recent interview (will be uploaded by BBC radio 1 soon but right now, someone uploaded it on SoundCloud, click) by Pete Tong. It was a "15 Minutes of Fame" session on BBC radio 1 [16th December 2011, 9 PM GMT]. People submitted questions on this thread but not all questions got answered.
I asked what's his height as this question was also asked on the Tumblr for Madeonites but it didn't get an answer as it wasn't even read out just like some other questions. I actually wanted to ask what his weight too because I remembered about Deadmau5's tweet :P

There are also some illustration for that "war" on the Tumblr :P (fanarts and other stuff too!)
The interview was only 15 minutes, so, yeah.
I like his voice. That was what's important together with the premiere of Icarus :D
Somebody on Tumblr posted:
I like how Madeon’s voice is like, perfection. Like a mix of British-French, but perfect English pronunciation.
I agree.
Adorably soft-spoken as this anon stated: http://fyeahmadeon.tumblr.com/post/13713737003/since-ian-asked-hes-adorably-soft-spoken-the-voice
I kind of wish he said "dehm". LOL.
Another one, old one:
Click for French interview which you can copy and paste to a Google translator :P
Oh, he's releasing an EP soon and the track named "Icarus", here's the teaser which he uploaded like 2 months ago (11th October 2011), it sound good just like a full track:
*but of course, full version on the "15 Minutes of Fame" interview ^^^*
I stayed up all night, I can't remember when it actually started because I kept on wishing to hear Mad's voice but 9 PM GMT is 17th December 2011, 5 AM Brunei time. Thank goodness, I had a 12 hours sleep before.
I think I better go.
Au revoir!
