A show, not just a mix. Open format DJ in Paris.

TL;DR

A show, not just a mix. I don't stay behind the decks: I dance, I sing, I point at the crowd, I keep eye contact with every single person watching me, and when the room allows it, I climb onto the booth or the bar. My format is open format: I play everything, and I flip it my own way: pop and urban pop, French rap, reggaeton, dancehall and shatta, hip-hop, baile funk and house in all its forms, the big tracks everyone knows, in the DOPA version. Afro is one of the colours, not the only one. No fixed setlist: I read the room and build live, often over long sets. A DOPA set is watched as much as it is danced to, from the Paris pub to the main stage.

A show, not just a mix

A DJ who doesn't stay behind the decks. I dance, I sing, I point at the crowd, I keep eye contact with every single person watching me. When the room allows it, I climb onto the booth or the bar. The set is watched as much as it is danced to, from the Paris pub to the main stage.

Open format

The format: I play everything, and I flip it my own way. Pop, French rap, house, US RnB and hip-hop, latin, EDM, every big track everyone knows, in the DOPA version. You recognize the song, but it's my take. I adapt to the crowd, not the other way around.

Definition

Afro, one of the colours

One of the colours in my open format sets, not the only one: afro house and amapiano, dancehall, shatta, afrobeats, bouyon, kompa and zouk to bring it back down. It blends with house, tech house, pop and French rap so it hits harder without losing the room.

The show, in detail

What happens on stage?

I don't stay behind the decks. I dance, I sing, I point at the crowd, I keep eye contact with every single person watching me, and when the room allows it, I climb onto the booth or the bar. The music follows: no fixed setlist, room reading, stem transitions. I go deeper in a dedicated article.

Anatomy of a club set

The big tracks everyone knows, in the DOPA version?

Yes: I take the hits, the pop, the French rap, the house, the urban, and I flip them my own way so they hit harder while staying familiar. You recognize the song, but it's my take. That is the bridge that carries a room without losing it. I wrote about music selection for a night.

What music for your party

Open format, specialist DJ: what is the difference?

My format is open format: I connect several families of sound, afro among them, and the show on top. Flexibility on one side, a show that signs the set on the other. I laid out the comparison with the specialist DJ in an honest article.

How do you check you are booking the right DJ?

Sound identity, recent gigs, a style that fits your crowd, clean logistics: everything can be checked in half an hour and one call. The full checklist, seen from the other side of the booth, is in my booking guide.

Frequently asked questions

What does a DOPA set look like?

A show, not just a mix. I don't stay behind the decks: I dance, I sing, I talk to the room from the first track to the last, and when the venue allows it, I climb onto the booth or the bar. Music-wise, no fixed setlist: I build the set live, reading the room. My core skill is reading the room and the transitions, and my library is sorted and refreshed every week.

What genres do you play in Paris?

Open format: I play everything, and I flip it my own way. Pop and urban pop, French rap, reggaeton, amapiano, hip-hop, baile funk and house in all its forms, the big tracks everyone knows, in the DOPA version. Afro is one of the colours, not the only one: dancehall, shatta, afrobeats, bouyon, kompa and zouk to bring it back down round it out depending on the room. The blend depends on the crowd in front of me, not on a formula.

What events is it for?

Clubs, festivals, parties and dates where the crowd wants a show, not just a mix: energy that builds and never drops, from the pub to the main stage. I come prepared, I read the room and I take it far, often over long formats.

Where can you be heard playing?

Every Saturday at O'Sullivans Champs-Élysées (residency since April 2025), regularly in Paris clubs and bars, and at festivals in summer: Les Estivales de Cattenom, Fête de la Musique, and in July 2026 main stage DJ at the Alta Notte Festival in Corsica. Public dates are on the home page.
