DOUSTER
Born and raised in Lyon, France, Douster’s musical journey began somewhere between the then ubiquitous sound of Euro dance, and the 50’s rhythm and blues tapes screaming out of the stereo in the family car. At the tender age of 8 he turned on to French rap, and hip hop music was to be a constant during his teenage years.
Having bought his first Technics at the age of 14 to learn how to scratch, he soon moved on to making beats for his friends and mastering the art of production. The influence of dancehall music and local dub sound systems saw heavy sub bass make an appearance in his productions. And when a close friend brought round crate full of smiley faced vinyl, he instantly fell in love with acid house and early 90’s newbeat. At 22, he’s now trying to forge his own kind of house music, mixing his many influences to cook up that wobbly jackin’ sound!
From reggae sound systems to South American freestyle clubs, Douster remains a supreme entertainer, following in the grand tradition of the hip hop DJ. His DJ sets combine a wide range of bass music, mixing top class fidget house, world ghetto music, and classic rave hits.
