The Beats That Built Me: My Influences as Play House

Born on October 12, 1993, in the vibrant city of Paris, I’ve spent years honing my craft as a DJ and producer, blending the pulsing energy of EDM with the soulful rhythms of Afro House and the earthy vibes of Organic House. With over 50 tracks released and more than half a million streams across platforms, my journey in music has been one of constant evolution. But every artist stands on the shoulders of giants, and for me, four names stand out as the cornerstones of my sound: Black Coffee, Avicii, David Guetta, and Keinemusik.

Black Coffee: Soul in the Groove

When I first heard Black Coffee’s masterful Afro House beats, something clicked. The South African legend brought a depth to electronic music that I couldn’t ignore—layers of percussion and melody that felt alive, almost spiritual. Tracks like “Drive” or “We Dance Again” showed me how to weave emotion into rhythm, inspiring me to infuse my own productions with that same organic heartbeat. Afro House became a core part of my identity because of him.

Avicii: Melody Meets the Mainstage

Then there’s Avicii. The late Swedish icon redefined EDM for me with his knack for unforgettable melodies—think “Levels” or “Wake Me Up.” He proved you could pack stadium-sized energy into tracks that still hit you right in the chest. As Play House, I’ve chased that balance in my music: hooks that stick with you and drops that lift you off the ground. Avicii’s legacy is a reminder to keep pushing boundaries while staying true to what moves people.

David Guetta: The Architect of Dance

Growing up in Paris, it’s impossible not to feel David Guetta’s influence. He’s the hometown hero who turned dance music into a global phenomenon. From “Titanium” to “When Love Takes Over,” Guetta showed me how to craft anthems—big, bold, and unapologetic. His ability to evolve with the times while staying rooted in infectious beats has shaped how I approach EDM, always aiming to make tracks that ignite a crowd.

Keinemusik: Collective Vibes

Finally, Keinemusik—a Berlin-based crew—brought a fresh perspective. Their sound, a mix of deep, groovy house with an organic twist, feels like a late-night jam session that never ends. Albums like You Are Safe or tracks like “Muye” taught me the power of collaboration and texture. They’ve influenced my Organic House side, nudging me to experiment with warmer tones and unexpected layers in my productions.

From Influence to Identity

These artists aren’t just names on a playlist—they’re the DNA of Play House. Black Coffee’s soulful roots, Avicii’s melodic genius, Guetta’s larger-than-life energy, and Keinemusik’s eclectic grooves have all found their way into my 50+ tracks. Every beat I drop is a nod to them, but also a step toward carving my own space in the scene. Half a million streams later, I’m still learning, still mixing, and still inspired by the legends who lit the path.
