“Requiem D’amour is the unofficial prequel to Martin Solveig’s hit record “Edony (Clap Your Hands)”. Back in 2000, that song helped me discover and fall in love with house music. So I decided my first release should pay tribute to this timeless classic by telling the story of how Edony, the song’s main character, became the hedonist queen she is today. The album is the story of a broken heart that finds peace and freedom in house music and club culture.” -Tommy La Croix †
