Laurent Véronnez (born December 10, 1977) is a Belgium-based progressive trance music artist. He has created more than 500 tracks for more than 35 projects^{[citation needed]}. His most notable alias is Airwave.

He lived in Brussels until he was 20 years old, experimenting with computers and synthesizers at his home. After sending his first demonstration to Lightning Records – the original home of the Bonzai label, he became one of the main artists of the new age in electronic music^{[citation needed]}.

After the first small successes with PLG, North Pole, Montera and Magnetix, he had his first breakthrough with the first release of Fire & Ice, produced together with DJ Fire. He decided to move to Antwerp so he could concentrate more on his productional work. The first results were new releases for Fire & Ice, Planisphere and Meridian. He became a professional artist using Airwave as a main project carrying his producers name known as L-Vee.

He was also commissioned to make remixes for the likes of Yves Deruyter, Da Hool, Aurora, Solar Stone, Blue Alphabet, Push and Jones & Stephenson.

Laurent has been influenced by the roots of electronic music, since the early beginning, from Kraftwerk to FSOL or great producers like Jarre, Orbital, Oliver Lieb and one of his admirations BT^{[citation needed]}. He defines his own musical style as "pure electronic dance music with a sniff of electronica and trance and progressive sounds"^{[citation needed]} through discovering and being inspired by his musical heroes and being guided by his record label Bonzai, whom he calls "the Gods of music and technology"^{[citation needed]}.

After the disappearance of his main label home Lightning Records, he is back to being a co-owner and A&R for Banshee Worx, the newly formed record label together with DJ/producer star Yves Deruyter and Fly (owner of Bonzai) and Marnik (A&R + international from the former Lightning Records).

His latest work is the debut album, One Plus One Equals Three, under his alias Lolo.
