Laurin Simon Künzle began his career as a DJ and producer under the alias Nec in 2017. He started his journey in his childhood bedroom, where he received a small mixer as a Christmas gift. Spending day and night practicing, he honed his DJing skills. As he delved deeper into the craft, he discovered the program Fruity Loops Studio, which allowed him not only to improve his DJing but also to start producing his own music.
Gradually, he grew proficient in both disciplines and embarked on his first gigs as part of a duo known as Schnecki x Nec. Within three years, he became a fixture in local clubs, establishing himself in the regional EDM scene. At just 17 years old, he secured his first publishing deal with Rene Rodriguez's label, "BigSmile Records." However, this partnership was eventually dissolved by mutual agreement.
Following the label split, Schnecki x Nec rebranded themselves as Slatt Mafia, which opened up new opportunities. Their inaugural open-air performance took place at the Steinebach Openair, marking the beginning of a series of performances across Vorarlberg until September 2022. After careful consideration, the duo decided to part ways and focus on their individual artistic endeavors.
Since then, Nec, now operating under the moniker "Simon Lauren," has released three singles and two EPs, performing at numerous smaller venues. However, with a shift towards music production, the old alias no longer felt suitable. New Era - new Name
