Le Youth, the stage name of Wes James, is an American musician and DJ noted for blending 90s sounds with a modern dance music touch. Emerging onto the electronic music scene in the early 2010s, Le Youth has carved a niche for himself with his unique concoction of R&B, house, and a nostalgic undercurrent that pays homage to the rhythms of the past while pushing into the future.

With a string of successful tracks and remixes in his portfolio, Le Youth continues to evolve his sound, often characterized by lush, dreamy synths and groovy basslines. His recent work, as evident in singles like "About Us" and "I Don't Mind," showcases his ability to create catchy melodies that resonate on dance floors and intimate listening sessions alike. Tracks such as "I Will Leave a Light On" and its Sultan + Shepard Remix, along with "Talking Like That," affirm Le Youth's skill for crafting infectious beats that also offer depth and layers of emotion. Throughout his career, Le Youth's consistent output of quality dance tracks has secured him a loyal fan base and a reputation as a tastemaker in the electronic music scene.
