 Born
in 1987 and raised in Aix-en-Provence
in the south of France, Guillaume
Sionis (aka The Last Atlant)
was introduced to electronic
dance music with Daft Punk's
classic "Homework"
in 1997. A few years later,
at the age of 16, Guillaume
began to learn how to produce
his own music with the help
of his cousin, a sound engineer.
His melodic but energetic
progressive house sound was
inspired by such musical influences
as Terry Lee Brown Jr., Sasha
and John Digweed, and Timo
Maas' "Connected"
compilation.
In 2006, at just 18 years
old, Guillaume landed his
first commercial release with
a 5-track EP on Toes in the
Sand Recordings titled "Speechless
Poetry." Released in
March 2006, "Speechless
Poetry" has received
rave reviews, with one reviewer
calling Guillaume "the
next big thing in progressive."
Guillaume recently released
another remarkable EP on DJ
Tarkan and V-Sag's label No
Smoking Recordings, where
Guillaume explores the smoother,
more eclectic side of progressive.
We at Toes have seen the future
of progressive, and it is
The Last Atlant!
