Plastique De Rêve
real name : Christophe 'Daze' Dasen
Electronic musician / producer / deejay / live performer from Geneva, Switzerland
Born in 1970, fascinated by electronic sound since childhood (my parents listened to Kraftwerk, Vangelis, J.-M. Jarre, Tangerine Dream, …), I started learning and playing music at the age of six, electronic music and musical technology since 1984, in various music and art schools and on my own.
I've then produced electronic music across the 80s and 90s for many different projects (live gigs, deejaying, installations, performances, theatre, film, plastic arts) under various names, exploring a wide range of musical styles (electro-acoustic, experimental, ambient, electro, ebm, techno, acid, etc), and also conceived and realised sound installations and performances for contemporary art exhibitions. I started deejaying in 1997, after many years of only playing live.
Since 1999, I've released tracks and remixes on several very good labels (Gigolo, Turbo, Mental Groove, DFA, among others), and I've performed live or deejayed in many cities and countries across the World.
I now live in Berlin, Germany, since 2004, working on different solo or collective projects, producing and remixing, deejaying, and enjoying life in the "capital" of electronic music.
Labels : Gigolo, Turbo, Mental Groove, Supersoul, DFA, Kitty Yo, WMF Rec, Viking Music, 7B Records, Space Factory Disques, SSS, Helvet Underground.
