The show
A DJ who dances, sings and keeps eye contact with every single person in front. When the venue allows it, I climb onto the booth or the bar. 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. Open format DJ in Paris.
TL;DR
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. Music-wise, I play open format, meaning everything, flipped my own way: pop and urban pop, French rap, reggaeton, dancehall and shatta, hip-hop, baile funk, house in all its forms, and the big tracks everyone knows, in the DOPA version. Afro is part of it, in the middle of the rest. I don't have a fixed setlist: I read the room and build live, often over long sets, from the Paris pub to the main stage.

The show, in plain terms
Definition
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. And I tune all of it to the crowd in front of me.

Afro, one of the colours
In my open format sets, afro comes through afro house and amapiano, dancehall, shatta, afrobeats, then bouyon, kompa and zouk to bring it back down. I mix it with house, tech house, pop and French rap so it hits harder without losing the room.
The show, in detail
What happens on stage?
While I dance and go after the crowd, the music is built live: I read the room, I pick what comes next as the night goes on and I do my transitions with stems. I go through all of it in detail in an article.
Anatomy of a club set →The big tracks everyone knows, in the DOPA version?
Yes: I take the big tracks, the pop, the French rap, the house, the urban, and I flip them my own way so they hit harder. The song stays familiar, so the room follows me. I wrote an article on choosing the music for a night.
What music for your party →Open format, specialist DJ: what is the difference?
In open format, I move from one family of sound to another, afro among them, and I add the show on top. I can adapt to any room, and the set stays recognizable as mine. I compare it with the specialist DJ in an article.
Open format vs specialist DJ →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?
I don't stay behind the decks: I dance, I sing, I connect with the room from the first track to the last, and when the venue allows it, I climb onto the booth or the bar. For the music, I build the set live, reading the room. I mostly work on that room reading and the transitions, and I sort and refresh my library 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, house in all its forms, and the big tracks everyone knows, in the DOPA version. Depending on the room, I add the afro colour: dancehall, shatta, afrobeats, and bouyon, kompa or zouk to bring it back down. I decide the blend by watching the crowd in front of me.
What events is it for?
Clubs, festivals, parties: every date where the crowd wants a show and energy that builds without dropping, from the pub to the main stage. I come prepared and I take the room 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.
