Gotye, aka Wouter DeBacker, is a 28-year-old, Belgian-born singer-producer based out of Melbourne, Australia. He shot to fame Down Under in 2006 by winning their equivalent of the Mercury music prize for Outstanding Potential and then followed it up by winning an ARIA for Best Male Artist in 2007. With a sound that's been variously described as inspired by the Avalanches, Beck and even DJ Shadow, Gotye's eclectic compositions layer his own vocals over choice cuts from his sizeable library of old vinyl and cassettes. Expect a sample-heavy danceathon to ensue as indie pop meets electro in this rare London appearance.
