DJ Rascal from France is one of the most successful French DJ's of the 90's...

Vice European DJ Champion 1989 
Luxembourg DJ Champion 1988
 
DJ Rascal ... A Living Legend ♔

DJ Rascal was one of the most emblematic DJ's of his generation and one of the most successful technically in France during the closing decades of the 20th Century. In 1988 he became Luxembourg Champion and Vice European champion next year in 1989, and then participated in the DMC technical Championship French final for the world championships no fewer than 10 times between 1987 and 2000. 
He was also a pioneer in many areas of DJing.  He invented the concept of "boys band turntablism" - team 
scratching concept - in 1990 with a first show at the Hourtin military base (France) a full year before the first appearance of Q-Bert in a U.S. TV show in 1991. Though Q-bert is remembered as the inventor of that style, he is not and it is time to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. 

DJ Rascal was also one of the first to self-produce an After Hip-Hop & New Jack mixtape on Cd in 1997-98.  Up until then  K7 had been the dominant format employed.  The production of a 24 minute mix After 
Hip-Hop composed solely of breakbeats, intros, interludes and scratching helped to bring a unique 
atmosphere to the scene at that time. 

But above all, his greatest strength is his ability to adapt to any type of music programming as well as 
animation shows.  His 40 years of experience spinning in clubs, with and without micro-animation, combined with his sharp festive programming, and impeccable technique, make of him a complete DJ able to play any style – House, Techno, Lounge, Chillout, Acid Jazz, Soul, Funk, Disco, Rap / Hip-Hop, R'n'B, French or international variety, etc.   

It  would take too much space here to review the career of DJ Rascal in full, but if we were to summarize a few highlights, then we would certainly keep in mind the hundreds of scratch demonstration shows, concerts, entertainment & nightlife clubs in France, Belgium, Luxembourg , Spain, Switzerland, etc. There were also countless radio and TV shows, not to mention that he was one  of the pioneers of Hip-Hop and DJing in the late 80's along with DJs such as DJ Dee-Nasty.  He helped democratize Hip-Hop and the art of DJing in France with MC’s including Destroy Man and Johnny Go, Lionel D, as well as others too numerous to name. 
He is considered as one of the most respected DJ's of his time. 

Still, his story is not finished ... 
DJ Rascal plays on, and will continue to do so as we dream into the future.

Simply a experimenter on the sonic echos in my mind.
Painting with sounds and noises.
I gave up on simplicity long ago as I hear so much around me. I try to make paintings/environments and fill them with life.
I do suggest headphones for the best experience.
Oh, and if you are a "music promoter" please don't waste my time with your bullshit. You will never make money off me.

Good mood music. Deco have become one of the UK’s most intriguing viral pop acts in the last 2 years. With their knack for classic songwriting and capturing millions across social media, the quintet, formed by siblings & lifelong friends, blend the contemporary with their love of the synth pop records, thrust upon them by their parents growing up.

Honing their craft and building their following with early releases such as Chances, Deco quickly became a hit at festivals, sold out their 2019 UK tour and supported the likes of Jess Glynne on tour.

Like all artists, their ascent was threatened by the arrival of the pandemic, but this challenge and the need to adapt only accelerated their path to bigger things. ‘Winning the internet’ in lockdown and beyond with millions of views for their viral mashups, Deco truly embodied the sense of escapism they carry throughout their songwriting. They appeared on National TV & radio, played BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, supported the likes of Nile Rodgers, A-ha & Boy George on tour & garnered endorsements from musical heroes.

2024 has been a breakthrough year.  After an exciting summer of touring with music legends Nile Rodgers & CHIC + Sophie Ellis Bextor, Deco released their highly anticipated debut album 'Destination: I Don't Know' which entered the Official UK Album Sales chart at Number 10. and has been endorsed by the likes of Nile Rodgers & Elton John. The album is currently on the road with Deco's biggest sold out UK  tour yet.

The signature Elektroklänge sound combines repetitive rhythms with simple melodies following a Western Classical style of harmony. The instrumentation is minimalistic and strictly electronic. All lyrics are sung through vocoders and/or generated by speech synthesis. Elektroklänge is inspired by the avant-garde compositions of Karlheinz Stockhausen as well as Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Electric sounds everywhere…
