French DJ/producer Octave Parango has graced stages across France (Aeronef, les nuits electriques, jardin électronique, Main Square Festival), Melbourne (Rubix Wharehouse), and his current base in New Zealand (Arkadien festival, Common Room, Peak House).

Sharing stages with the likes of Carl Craig, Octave One, FJAAK, Radio Slave, Alan Fitzpatrick, Bambounou, Joris Delacroix, and Louisahhh.

His discography includes an EP with Oniryzm records, another with N.A.M.E family records, and three EPs with Enlace Records. Additionally, he has signed with Real Rhythm for a remix and released a track on Natura Viva, all contributing to his signature melodic techno style.

The "Off the Beaten Track" EPs uniquely capture Octave Parango's nomadic creativity, crafted on the road using samples recorded during his travels. The first traverses the French Alps, while the second explores the landscapes of Thailand and New Zealand.

Now embracing Live performances, Octave Parango is venturing into melodic, progressive, and organic sounds, marking a dynamic shift in his musical trajectory.
