Leclercq has been featured several times on 15 Minutes of Fame, a segment of Pete Tong's radio show on BBC Radio 1, with both his debut single "Icarus" and his remix for deadmau5's "Raise Your Weapon" given their first full play on the show. His first live performance was in Paris in April 2011 where he was a support act to Yelle, and his UK debut was at The Nest in Dalston, London where he performed alongside the likes of Jacques Lu Cont. ĭuring live performances, apart from the Launchpads, he also uses Allen & Heath's Xone:K2, Novation's Launch Control XL and Ableton Live. The clip went viral and reached over six million views in just a few days. It featured samples from thirty-nine songs mixed together on-the-fly using a Novation Launchpad. A clip of him performing his mash-up "Pop Culture", uploaded to YouTube on 11 July 2011, propelled him to international fame. He went on to remix other electronic artists tracks the following year. He won a remix competition for "The Island" by Pendulum the same year. Leclercq started composing music at the age of 11, producing hands-up under the name of "Deamon" and Wayne Mont until 2010 when he began producing house music under his current name, Madeon, which is an anagram of his previous nickname.
