Description
Arnaud Le Texier’s music can be best described as a call for everyone to get on the dancefloor. His productions and DJ sets both will leave you in a state of frenzy.
In 1990 Arnaud Le Texier started his career as a DJ in the region of Rennes in Western France. Inspired by the work of artists such as Herbie Hancock, The Orb, Kraftwerk and Pink Flyod, Arnaud began mixing at rave parties alongside various established DJ’s and later launched the weekly club party “Promised Land†at L’Espace. It was during this period that he met Nova Nova (from the F Communication label) and he collaborated on the maxi single EX EP.
After several years of managing the record shop “Club News†in Rennes, Arnaud moved to Paris where he managed another well known record shop. It was here that his career as a DJ really began to develop. Performing at the top clubs in Paris and worldwide, Arnaud soon had a residency at Queen that lasted five years, mixing with some of the worlds best DJ’s and the best clubs in Paris. During this period Arnaud also did many mixes for Radio FG, one of France’s leading electronic music stations, including a special broadcast.
As well as touring all over France for many sponsored parties, Arnaud Le Texier also performed internationally in countries such as Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, USA etc. At the end of the year 2000 he played in Miami alongside British DJ James Warren and the two artists decided to launch the UK based labels; Atcha Recordings, which experimented with Deep House and Trip- Hop, and kailash Records which explored Tech-House, Break beat, Techno and Electro sounds.
At the end of 2004 Arnaud and James launched Safari Electronique, which concentrates on more experimental and minimal sounds. At the beginning of 2006 Arnaud decided to live in London where he plays in various clubs & parties (Fabric, T Bar, Multi Vitamins, Zig Zag, etc …)
Arnaud is a perfect blend of natural talent and raw flare with very distinctive music.
Through his focus on music quality and originality, as well as his performances on an international level, Arnaud Le Texier is becoming one of the leaders in French electronic sound.
