Bio :
Drake DEHLEN , has been passionately involved in music since a very young age.But it was in 1993, with the commencement of Laurent Garnier' s residence at the An-fer club in Dijon that Drake' s ideas about music began.
Drake decided to first steer his music to a dark and melodic techno  where he found clear links with his influences. His early inspirations came to him from artists like Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and Kevin Saunderson.
Foremost as a musician, Drake went from live mixing in 2009 to a resident on multiple radio stations (Sensations, LFO and wheee.fm among others). 
His state of mind governs his music, and shares an overwhelming passion to make dance tracks from both pumping tinged melodies to a harder and darker techno.
Two new projects started in 2015, LeeZard One With Heykal (Electronica, Electro pop) and The Dummy Human with Dj Mexx (Techno, Tech-House, Minimal)
