Stuart David Price (born 9 September 1977) is an English electronic musician, DJ, songwriter, and record producer.

His acts include his own band Zoot Woman (with Adam Blake and Johnny Blake), Les Rythmes Digitales (French pronunciation: [le ʁitm diʒital], literally "The Digital Rhythms"), Paper Faces, Man with Guitar, Thin White Duke (not to be confused with David Bowie's earlier persona of the same name), and the parodic French moniker Jacques Lu Cont (though he actually grew up in Reading, England).

[1][2] Price is known for his work with artists including Madonna, Dua Lipa, The Killers, New Order, Kylie Minogue, DMA's, Example, Take That, Missy Elliott, Scissor Sisters, Pet Shop Boys, Brandon Flowers, Gwen Stefani, Seal, Keane, Jessie Ware, Frankmusik, Hard-Fi, Hurts, Everything Everything, Rina Sawayama, and Darin.

In interviews from around this time, Price also claimed that he had grown up listening exclusively to classical music, until one day encountering the album Dare by the Human League.

Other aliases include Man with Guitar and Paper Faces (an alias for him and Adam Blake of the band Zoot Woman).

Price's remixes are characterised by club-led beats with arpeggios, riffs, and vocal lines faded and filtered throughout the song for a climactic effect.

[citation needed] He favours keeping the original vocal arrangement of songs and re-contextualizing the non-lyrical content in creating his new versions.

Price has also remixed the Madonna songs "Hollywood" from American Life and "Miles Away" from the album Hard Candy.

Madonna chose his remix of "Hollywood" for her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Missy Elliott.

[5] Price's work with The Killers began with his remix of their hit single "Mr. Brightside", released under the Thin White Duke name.

Price produced two of the tracks re-recorded for the release of The Killers' B-sides album, Sawdust: "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf" and "Sweet Talk".

Price also worked for The Killers vocalist Brandon Flowers' debut solo album Flamingo, producing most of the songs on it, including the second single "Only the Young".

Price was the musical director on the Pandemonium tour, and produced their 2013 album Electric which was very highly acclaimed by critics and reached No.

In May 2012, the fourth Scissor Sisters album Magic Hour was released with two tracks produced by Stuart Price: "The Secret Life of Letters" and "Somewhere".

[15] In 2020, Price served as a co-producer and additional producer for four songs on Dua Lipa's second album Future Nostalgia, three of which became singles: "Hallucinate", "Levitating", and "Love Again".

Price also contributed to Japanese-British singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama's second studio album Hold the Girl, which was released on September 16, 2022, and peaked at number 2 on the UK charts.

Price's production work extended to Romy's album Mid Air, which featured the single "Strong", a significant hit on UK radio, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic Record at the 2024 ceremony.

Furthermore, Price co-wrote and co-produced four new songs on The Killers' 2023 chart-topping album release Rebel Diamonds, including the singles "Boy", "Spirit", and "Your Side of Town".

Price has also been involved in various film projects and soundtracks in 2022 and 2023, including producing key records for Elvis, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, and Argylle (Electric Energy).

Under his Jacques Lu Cont alias, he released several massive club remixes including ones for U2, Katy Perry, Miike Snow and Coldplay.

In June 2012, his remix of Charlie Brown was rejected by Coldplay,[16] though Price did end up having it released through Annie Mac's show on BBC Radio One on 13 July.
