DJ Cavalcade

Cavalcade originates from Dijon (France) where he grew up in a family composed of musicians. He discovered electronic music very late through the famous "An-fer" club thanks to its resident DJ Didier Limonet just a couple of years before it closed. Nevertheless, he decided he will become a DJ and started mixing on a local radio station while studying. After 2 years, he moved to Lyon, looking for a much bigger city to play. Once there, he got a couple of residencies and gigs like at "Ambassade" and "Marquise" to name but a few, and met some local artists such as Rico, Manoo and DJ Love.

In 2003, he moved to Melbourne, Australia with his girlfriend. There he met up with some DJs who invited him to mix at different venues such as "Two Floors Up" and "Street FM". He found a residency at "Arthur's" and played at "St Kilda festival" before moving back to France to organise an electronic event for the "Fête de la Musique".

After 3 months, he went back to Australia, in Brisbane this time where he got to play at different venues such as Ric's, Sunbar and Empire Hotel beside his residencies at Birdee Num Num, n°12 and Oxford 152. He met Julien Love and DJ Freestyle who became very good friends and also took advantage of the very good Australian education system to follow some courses in Music Industry Business, giving him the opportunity to learn all the behind-the-scene tricks. He also organised a promotional campaign for DJ Freestyle as well as his website.

Time goes by and after 2 years, he moved back to Dijon, France where he got a residency at Agora Café and famous Le Cercle Jamaïque as well as hosting radio chronicles about the history of electronic music called Elekronik. He also worked on some promotional material for a local band and wishes to expand this activity.

After a year in Dijon, he has now moved to London to give it go, more on this soonish...

Musicaly speaking, nothing is really set up, Cavalcade can play deep-house as well as bouncy house tracks but his heart definitively goes to minimal and electro-house and more and more towards nu-funk and electro-pop with his favourites being from Detroit, New York and Germany...
