Wakhan's musical journey began in the vibrant underground scene of Paris, where he first graced the decks of squats and explored the city's clubs with his techno collective, BPMOOD. However, it was his foray into the mystical realm of Ethno-Tribal music that set his creativity ablaze.
As a French producer and DJ, Wakhan has been our guide into the enchanting musical landscapes of Asia and Africa for several years. His sets are a mesmerizing fusion of oscillating basses and tangy textures that beckon the traveler to embark on a deep and untamed journey.
In 2018, Wakhan took a bold step by founding his second collective and record label, O'Tawa. With a mission to introduce an unknown music scene to the Parisian public, he curated immersive events in secret underground locations at the heart of Paris and its suburbs, breaking away from the conventional codes of the industry.
Wakhan's talent transcends borders, earning him recognition far beyond France. He has made waves with appearances in countries such as Ukraine, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Austria, and Canada, captivating audiences with his unique sound.
You may have recently grooved to Wakhan's electrifying beats at renowned festivals like Ozora Festival in Hungary, Hadra Festival, Son Libre Festival, Wao Festival in Italy, Château Perché Festival, Isis Garden Festival, Kamiwaza Festival, and Marvellous Festival. Prepare to be transported into a world of sonic exploration with Wakhan, where cultures converge and rhythms unite in a dance of musical enchantment.
