PREMIERE : Akrav - Esstassy (Original Mix)

Baigné dès son plus jeune âge dans des univers musicaux variés aux côtés d'un père passionné de Rock et d'une marraine chanteuse d'opéra, Akrav a su se forger une culture éclectique allant du classique à la musique électronique tout en passant par la pop, la wave, le post punk ou encore le hip-hop et le rap.

C'est il y a cinq ans à peine qu'il s'est tourné vers les platines pour nous faire profiter de sa culture et de ses influences.

Cet univers élargi et singulier transpire dans chacun de ses dj sets, plongeant le dancefloor dans une ambiance à la fois hypnotique et percutante, mêlant des sonorités waves à des basses énergiques et grasses.

Ces sélections offrent donc un véritable panorama qui s'étend des rythmes downtempo jusqu'aux frontières de la techno en passant par le dark disco et l'indie dance, forçant l'auditoire à lâcher prise et vivre corporellement une musique résolument nouvelle et profonde.

C'est pour l'ensemble de ses raisons qu'il a été naturellement amené à jouer au Bricks Festival et au Fabulous Festival et d'y côtoyer des artistes tels que Damon Jee, Adriatique, Popof, Dixon ou encore Ame. Il a également traversé l'océan Atlantique pour faire danser le célèbre Bar Americas, club de référence  sud-américaine.

Akrav est également résident du label mexicain Āsthetics et du célèbre label berlinois Nein records.


Un départ tonitruant donc pour ce jeune artiste bourré de talent et d'une bonne humeur communicative à l'image de sa musique.

Since his earliest childhood Akrav has been immersed in various musical spheres. Thanks to his rock enthusiast father or his opera singer godmother, he made up his own eclectic culture, from classical music to pop, wave, post punk, hip hop or rap music. 

Only five years ago he opted for the turntables to make us enjoy his culture and influences. This unique and broad universe comes out in each of his DJ sets, plunging the dancefloor in a hypnotic and striking atmosphere, by combining wave sounds as well as energising and massive basses.

Therefore these collections offer a genuine overview that extends from downtempo rhythms to the borders of techno music, through dark disco and indie dance : the audience has to let go and physically experience the music, which is truly new and deep.

For all these reasons, Akrav was naturally led to play at Bricks Festival, at Fabulous Festival, where he stood alongside artists such as Damon Jee, Adriatique, Popof, Dixon or Ame. He also travelled overseas to make people dance at the Americas bar, a reference South American club. In addition, Akrav is in residence at Asthetics, a Mexican label and at the renowned Nein Records label in Berlin. 

In short, this is a booming start for this young and talented artist, whose music is as catching as his happiness.
