Okain(Quartz, Tsuba) Paris, France
1999年、若干15歳のときにDJとして初めてブースに立ったOkain。当時からテクノやハウストラックに熱中し友達にプレイして聞かせることをいつも楽しんでいた。Laurent Garnierに多大な影響を受けており、各月でクラブのレジデントDJとなった頃の2年間は、5時間のテクノセットをプレイしていたこともあった。それ以降、Rex ClubやSocial ClubをはじめパリのHottestスポットでプレイするようになる。Okainは盟友であるPaul RitchやThomas Mullerと共にDimuschiというパーティーのレジデントDJにピックアップされた。
2007年1年間のサウンドエンジニアの勉強後、Paul RitchとのユニットHandycraftとして初のEPをKickboxerよりリリース。その“Le Bal Masqu? EP”は瞬く間に多くのインターナショナルDJのチャートへ名を連ね、あらゆる所でプレイされた。それを境にTsuba, Bpitch ControlやフランスのレーベルJetaime Recordsより彼自身のEPを次々とリリースしていった。彼の楽曲はEllen Allien, Loco Dice, Sebo Kや Slamなどのアーティストたちから絶大なサポートを受けた。多くの彼への賞賛の声はバルセロナのソナーをはじめスペイン、ドイツ、イタリア、イギリスなどのヨーロッパの国々でプレイする機会を増やしていった。
2009年はOkainのリリースラッシュとなった。Quartz Music, Tsuba, Bpitch Control, Jetaime Records, Arjausなどの現在のシーンの核となるレーベルより自身の楽曲やリミックスなどが数多くリリースされた。また同時に精力的にヨーロッパの主要なクラブでのギグやツアーを行っている。

Okain debut on the decks started around 1999 when he was 15. At this time he enjoyed spinning House & Techno tracks to his friends. Influenced by Laurent Garnier, he, within the next two years, was offered the decks of a club to play a bimonthly 5 hours techno & house set. Since then he has played in the hottest spots in Paris included Rex Club & Social Club just to name a few. He also became a regular Dj for the legendary Dimuschi parties with his friends Paul Ritch & Thomas Muller.
In 2007, after a year of sound engineering studies Paul & Him released their first ep as Handycraft on Kickboxer label. Their Le Bal Masqu? ep was an immediate success charted & compiled by many international Djs. Since then Okain released several eps on different labels including Tsuba, Bpitch Control & french label Jetaime Records. His productions have been granted support from the likes of Ellen Allien, Loco Dice, Dubfire, Marco Carola and Richie Hawtin to name just a few. It is naturally that these acclaimed releases led him to get gigs across Europe.
Since 2009 new acclaimed productions & remixes from Okain are being released on Quartz Rec, Tsuba, Bpitch Control, Jetaime Records, Four:Twenty, MBF...
