Featuring the Fairfield Circuitry Unpleasant Surprise fuzz.

Unpleasant Surprise

"A bit like seashells on a beach underneath the armoured talons of some prehistoric horseshoe crab-type creature." - Seance

Various things... Guitar > Unpleasant Surprise > Barbershop OD > DMM > Count To Five > Verellen

For You

"This one sounds like a prolonged intro to the TV Series Buffy the Vampireslayer.
Except at the 1:41 mark Buffy gets buried alive in an Astrodome-size coffin and
has to fight her way out of a crowd of vampires and ghouls. The way the clip
suddenly ends must signify that Willow arrives to help clean things up." - Seance

Guitar > Unpleasant Surprise > Throbby > Count To Five > Verellen > your ear

Parisian artist POPOF is one of the most widely recognized names within the world of Techno and House music. 

One of the most downloaded artists in his category, POPOF is in very high demand for his remixes and has worked for famous artists such as Depeche Mode, Chemical Brothers, Moby, BookaShade, Vitalic, Tiga, Maetrik, Martin Solveig and many more. 

POPOF has worked with some of the most respected labels within the scene, from early work on Turbo, Cr2 and Mistakes to the launch of his own label Form Music in 2009, Sven Väth's infamous Cocoon outlet, Kerri Chandler’s Kaoz Theory, Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, Nicole Moudaber’s Mood, Adam Beyer’s Truesoul, and more.

In 2015 POPOF released his LP 'Love Somebody'. Its two first singles, “Words Gone” and “Going Back” were followed by a string of remixes by some of the industry’s biggest names: Jamie Jones, Luciano, Magda, Kerri Chandler, Eats Everything, Lee Foss, Marc Houle, Oxia & Miss Kittin... In June 2016 his third single from “Love Somebody”, “Lidl Girl”, featured remixes by the Carl Cox Collective, Kerri Chandler, Magda, Shaun Reeves & Tuccillo. 

In 2017 POPOF embarked on a sold-out tour in South America, followed by a widely acclaimed performance at Glastonbury festival and remixes for both Cuartero, on Lee Foss’ label Repopulate Mars, and UMEK. August 2017 also saw the successful release of an exclusive CD compilation by POPOF and Luca Donzelli for Amnesia Ibiza.

2018 was yet another solid year for POPOF, with performances at Ultra Music Festival (Rio de Janeiro, Miami, Beijing, Seoul …), and a string of releases on Nicole Moudaber’s Mood records (“Confusion” EP), Adam Beyer’s Truesoul imprint (“Enforced” EP), Pig & Dan’s Elevate label (“Mind Accees” EP), and on his own label Form Music (“Bowo” EP). 

In 2019 POPOF’s first release of the year was on Kaluki Musik with his “Chronic” EP. Another string of Resistance performances at Ultra Miami and Latin America followed. An EP on Jamie Jones’ Hottrax imprint was out in the summer, and a remix for cult act Hot Chip, “Hungry Child”, was released Domino Records.

The year 2020 will see many more releases by POPOF, including a free EP in collaboration with Animal & Me, “Eveil”, to be released in May to raise funds for Covid-19 relief. A remix for Abstraal & Teenage Mutants is also due to be released in May on Family Piknik; the mont after a remix for Julian Jeweil’s new EP due to be released on Form Music as well as a new EP planned for release on Solardo’s label Sola.
