Career edit
Mifune began creating his first tracks under the pseudonym Morning Crash, when he began learning how to make computer-aided music.[5] His current stage name, Les Gordon, is a reference to Douglas Gordon, videographer and visual artist; "Les" is an English name that references British artists such as Four Tet, Gold Panda, Mount Kimbie and many others.[6]

He composed Saisons (2014), Les cheveux longs (2015) and Atlas (2016),[7] along with a collaboration EP, Croquis n°1 (2015).[2] and signed to the French label Kitsuné[7] after leaving the label Allo Floride.[4]
He has a band, which is called Singapour (2015), where Gordon is a producer and his friend Roman Oswald writes lyrics.[5]
