It’s been a full decade since Hugo Pierre Leclercq introduced his sonic identity, Madeon, to the world. While the then 16-year-old Frenchman rode an unprecedented wave of hype into the front lines of dance music stardom, it’s clear that Leclercq’s work ethic and dedication to his craft have turned the one-time prodigy into one of the industry’s most bonafide creators.
