My Take

Madeon impresses me because he was clearly a prodigy who actually grew up well. Hugo Leclercq was barely a teenager building those intricate French electro tracks, and child-genius careers in music can curdle fast. What I respect is the trajectory from Nantes bedroom producer to a Los Angeles-based artist who kept evolving his sound rather than coasting on early viral fame. There's a craftsmanship to his production that feels almost architectural to me, layered and precise. He's one of those rare electronic acts I'd file under songwriter first, button-pusher second, and that distinction matters more than the genre tags suggest.
