Sunny Lax, born Levente Márton[2] (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈlɛvɛntɛ ˈmaːrton]; born August 6, 1986), is a Hungarian trance music and progressive house producer.

Biography

Career

Sunny Lax debuted on the music scene with the 12" P.U.M.A. / Cassiopeia EP as his debut release on Anjunabeats in February 2006,[3] which was widely played by highly esteemed DJs such as Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren.[4]

Music and programming had been a major part of Levente's early life, and at the age of 13 he started producing music of his own without any prior music theory knowledge.[1] After buying a few programming books from his pocketbook, he learnt about music software, notably the "Modeplug Tracker", and started to program his own music.[5] He began to compete in various remix competitions in his native Hungary, performing well and boosting his self-esteem.[citation needed] This encouraged Levente to send one of his productions, P.U.M.A., to several music labels, where Anjunabeats agreed to sign it.[citation needed]

Sunny Lax's third single, "M.I.R.A.", was released on Anjunabeats on October 9, 2006.[6] This was followed up with by "Blue Bird" on May 21, 2007.[7]

In 2013, Sunny Lax launched his own record label "Sounds of Elysium" as a sublabel of Blue Soho Recordings, which would mainly feature progressive trance tracks.[3] He released his single "Marvel" as the first track on the label.[8]
