After being certified with platinum in Belgium, where Lost Frequencies spent over 5 weeks on the number 1 position in the charts with ‘Are You With Me’, it looks like the success for the 21 year old Felix de Laet’s debut single is far from over. In the USA the track was added to the well-known SiriusXM playlists and selected as ‘Hot Track’ by iTunes (currently at #45 in the US iTunes Dance chart and climbing rapidly). The track is currently at #44 in the Global Shazam chart.
Also in other European countries the track from Armada’s newest sub-label ‘The Bearded Man’ is starting to pick up speed. With very promising results already in: Luxembourg (#1 Main chart), France (#1 iTunes Dance Chart, #4 Shazam chart and #12 in the French National chart up 42 spots), Germany (#8 iTunes dance chart, #45 Shazam chart and #47 National chart) and Norway (#14 Shazam chart).
The song was released on Armada Music imprint The Bearded Man and is the first song from the label to receive Platinum status. The Bearded Man sub label was started in June last year and it is Armada Music’s home for relaxing, catchy, radio-friendly songs that don’t fit under dance music’s traditionally rigid category classifications. Growing rapidly, The Bearded Man has an innovative branding style that sets it apart in the industry - in terms of visual look and feel, unique and celebrated release texts, and of course, outstanding music.
Lost Frequencies is the artist name of Belgian-born producer Felix De Laet, who has also quickly risen through the ranks after a string of widely played remixes and original songs, gaining him the attention of the top dance music labels and radio stations around the world. Felix was the only Belgian artist to reach a #1 position in his home country in 2014. This release only seems to be gaining steam, as the numbers, radio plays, and accolades keep rolling in.
On the 9th of February, a special remix package will be released with remixes from Kungs and DIMARO among others. Already this release can count on the support from the likes of W&W, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and DJ Chuckie.
The Bearded Man: “Felix and I first met when we had a successful shrimping boat down off the coast of Louisiana. We forged a deep friendship, but we had to watch our business deteriorate thanks to the BP oil spill. Discouraged, we headed south into Mexico, where we built up a small rum-running business on the side. I distinctly recall one evening where we were listening to a mariachi band play at midnight, drinking margaritas, and dancing by the water. It was in that moment that we decided we were going to get a Platinum record. Best 5 bucks I ever spent.”
