Latest Work
It was announced on 18 November 2011 that Price would return to producing his own music with the intention of releasing a new album as Les Rythmes Digitales. However, on 14 July, in the interview preceding his Essential Mix with Pete Tong, he stated, "I don't know whether it's gonna be Les Rythmes Digitales, I don't know if its gonna be Jacques Lu Cont, I don't know if it's gonna be a Thin White Duke album. I think the material always just has to kind of... has to lead the way. So what I'll call it? Still to be determined."
The single "Reload" was made available on SoundCloud at the end of November 2011, and in February 2012 the single "Church" was posted under the name Jacques Lu Cont. Around the same time he released his remix of Paddling Out by Miike Snow. He has continued to release tracks for free download via his Soundcloud page, including the London train system inspired "Underground" on 12 July.
In April 2012, Price performed at the Coachella Music Festival as Jacques Lu Cont in a mid-Saturday set playing original tracks from his new album as well as newer remixes of such songs as New Order's Blue Monday and Miike Snow's Paddling Out.
On 14 July, Price was finally invited to produce a two hour set for BBC Radio One's Essential Mix, saying "I've been waiting 15 years for this, Pete." His tracklist included many unreleased demos of his own work, influences like Depeche Mode and the Pixies, although it primarily consisted of tracks by his contemporaries.
French electronic musician and DJ, Madeon, has named Stuart Price's production style among his many musical influences.
Price is the producer of the upcoming 12th studio album from Pet Shop Boys, entitled Electric. The album was announced on 14 March 2013 and is scheduled to be released 15 July. Price previously produced the medley Pet Shop Boys performed at the 2009 BRIT Awards, upon their being lauded with the Outstanding Contribution To Music statue. He also reworked Neil and Chris’ most recent single “Memory Of The Future”.
