Popof

Techno aficionado Popof might be known for his stripped-down, minimal sound, but don’t expect a live session with the French music producer to be a laid-back affair. Popof, real name Alexandre Paounov, was born out of the 90s rave scene, and as such he will have you on your feet and put you through your paces. Popof’s reputation precedes him in venues worldwide. Audiences across Europe, North America and Latin America know that this is a guy that does not mess around. If going to a Popof show – and I recommend you do – prepare to be up all night long. He is a not a DJ who peppers his sets with crests and troughs to give you a chance to conserve your energy every now and again. No, a Popof set is an onslaught. An onslaught of pure, techno bliss, but an onslaught nonetheless.
It’s not a surprise that Popof is in constant demand to remix tracks by everyone From Depeche Mode, to Chemical Brothers, to Moby. Popof’s style is effortlessly cool, and who wouldn’t want his input on their sound? If you get the chance to see Popof live, make sure you take it. But remember, go prepared for a full-on night!
