David Prap - Making People Dance to my Sound

Hello from Koh Phangan! Have you been before?
I have been to Thailand two times for holidays only but never to Koh Phangan.

Some friends of mine have been to the parties a few times and told me that if one day I have the possibility to play in Thailand, it's the only place to be!

So tell us a bit about the 'scene' you hail from…
I come from south east France and we are influenced by German musical culture for many years now but my first love is the Chicago House or the Techno made in Detroit.

What got you started as a dj?
Without a doubt, my love for the music.

I used to listen many kinds of music and then I had the vision to make people dance to my sound, it appears as an obviousness.

How would you describe your style and what are your influences and inspiration?
My style, oscillating between melodic Techno, Tech House and Deep Techno but which is definitely dancefloor axed.

I think we can definitely say that I'm a son of Techno music from the very beginning. My influences are Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Underground Resistance, Laurent Garnier and Daft Punk.

You are playing at Infinity for Scandal Festival, what can we expect from you?
I will provide you happiness and good feelings and give you my best in the aim to live a good moment together.

What were some of your stand out gigs of last year?
I think the two special gigs hosted in two festivals in the south of France. The Electrobotik Invasion where I played with David Squillace, Marc Houle, Sam Paganini, Alan Fitzpatrick, Clockwork & Avatism.

Then, the We Are Together festival with Sven Vath, Fritz Kalkbrenner, Kenny Larkin, Worakls, N'To and more.

And what are your main projects for 2016?
With my friend Willy Réal, we just launched our new project named Datametrik. We are proud to have signed our first release on Selador, managed by Dave Seaman and Steve Parry.

We are still working on a brand new label, but we want to keep this a bit secret for the moment.

What would you say to aspiring djs?
Music is first a passion and you have to keep in mind that pleasure and sharing are the main words to speak about it.

And what is your music philosophy?

Music is my life, no need to say more.
