Pop Culture (song)

[1] The video drew attention to Leclercq and would lead to him being signed by Columbia Records and launching his music career.

[2] Leclercq (at the time, using only his Madeon stage name) was a rising star in the EDM genre, having recently won a remix competition for the song "The Island" by Pendulum in late 2010.

[4][5] Leclercq described the concept for "Pop Culture" as wanting to show the process that electronic mix artists use during live performances.

"[4] Daft Punk had been a major influence for Leclercq, and had gone to their shows to see how they performed their music live, seeing that they were often just pressing buttons on their panels to make sound.

[2] Due to the attention he received from "Pop Culture" and subsequent singles, Leclercq was approached by various record labels to sign up as an artist.
