Deep house project Watermät was the brainchild of French DJ and producer Laurent Arriau. Born in the early '80s and brought up in Paris, he developed an affinity with music at an early age, learning to play guitar and piano and listening to everything from Michael Jackson to Guns N' Roses. After being switched on to the house music scene by Daft Punk, he learned how to DJ and produce electronic music. He studied science for two years before getting into production work for a number of big French pop acts.
