Podcast Episode Summary
I'm really excited about publishing this episode because to put it plain and simple I think its MINT!...Well more to the point its Okain with a 60 minute mix of deep house, tech and funky house flavours.
Okain debut on the decks started around 1999 when he was 15. At this time he enjoyed spinning House & Techno tracks to his friends. Influenced by Laurent Garnier, he, within the next two years, was offered the decks of a club to play a bimonthly 5 hours techno & house set. Since then he has played in the hottest spots in Paris included Rex Club & Social Club just to name a few. He also became a regular Dj for the legendary Dimuschi parties with his friends Paul Ritch & Thomas Muller.
In 2007, after a year of sound engineering studies Paul & Him released their first ep as Handycraft on Kickboxer label. Their Le Bal Masqué ep was an immediate success charted & compiled by many international Djs. Since then Okain released several eps on different labels including Tsuba, Bpitch Control & french label Jetaime Records. His productions have been granted support from the likes of Ellen Allien, Loco Dice, Dubfire, Marco Carola and Richie Hawtin to name just a few. It is naturally that these acclaimed releases led him to get gigs across Europe.
Since 2009 new acclaimed productions & remixes from Okain are being released on Quartz Rec, Tsuba, Bpitch Control, Jetaime Records, Four:Twenty, MBF... Meanwhile, he takes part of an intensive touring of showcases across the world : Fabric ( London ), Rex Club ( Paris ), Barraca ( Valencia ), Cocorico ( Italy ), Bar America ( Guadalajara ), V.bar ( Juarez ), H2O ( Mexico ), Footwork ( Toronto ), Westerunie ( Amsterdam ), Space ( Ibiza ), Micron ( Manchester ), Fabrik ( Madrid ), Social Club ( Paris ), Goa ( Roma ), City Hall ( Barcelona ), Tresor ( Berlin ), Boulevard ( Barcelona ), Chernoe More ( St Petersbourg ), Salafonica ( Maillorca ), Brancaleon ( Roma ), Penelope ( Madrid ), Family Club ( Toledo ), LVC ( Leiden ), Club Las Lomas ( Lima ) & many others!
