Mosimann and Acid Arab

Under the spot lights of his uprising fame and signed by the biggest major

company, everything was set to mute this young artist into one more

throwable star. Once exposed to the almighty music industry's rules, he had

to learn how to hide his deep love for electronic music, while his first

album hit the stores with a stunning success ('Duel' is double-platinium

certified). However, this wild night bird already had something else in

mind, dreaming of larger horizons based on a wide range of electronic

sounds.

A long time before winning the most looked after vocal French TV show, he

defined his strong identity hanging out with his buddies, all DJ's and

hard-level clubbers. Just like them, Mosimann considered his decks as his

first girlfriends, improving his own skills step by step, through

self-taught technics. He also used to deejay in order to pay for his

studies, by the way. Therefore, once he gained popularity, he naturally

skipped his voice to focus on deejaying. Transition was not brute, though,

as his creativity led him to mix a bit of his two natural skills.

Respecting his high taste for club culture and electronic music, he went

through his music collection and updated his vision of a high-energy dance

music.

There was no other option for him to loop out the very predictable

mainstream format. Proud of the French heritage, inspired by some of his

fellow heroes (Jean- Michel Jarre, Cerrone, Daft Punk, Laurent Garnier,

David Guetta or, more lately, DJ Snake), he worked hard to build a new

musical avatar powered by his strong passion for mixing. Behind his "Change

Your Mind" baseline, his will to redefine deejaying came early in his mind.

You just need to see him acting live to testify his incredible ability to

perform and do the show. Forget about the classical image of all these DJ's

satisfied with beat-matched transitions. Mosimann sacrifies his body and

shares a wild and sweaty creativity. He plays with the crowd and stretches

all kind of emotions into an euphoric danceable experience. He beats the

tempo, plays the drums, scratches, sings and jumps like an LFO. Freed from

any format, he loves mixing in the darkness of clubs as well as spotting

the largest festival stages, offering then an overwhelming performance.

Each of his spectacular shows is driven by his intention to give the best.

Gifted artist, he drew his own path managing to bring the largest audience

to his large electronic culture, somehow underground. After seven years of

a solid progression, which four of them were lightened by a solid ranking

within DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs, some new perspectives seem to appear now. Even

if his hectic touring schedule bounds him to travel a lot, he has recently

increased his studio schedule, composing new material and jamming on his

synths and drums. Still working as an ambivalent artist, he tries to clone

himself to combine his love for Pop with a powerful club energy. Circling

back all of his deepest influences and inspirations, Mosimann acts like a chemist looking for unexpected recipes. Mind your ears, you shall be surprised right soon.
