About

DJ Deep, born Cyril Etienne Desprez, is a Parisian luminary whose name is synonymous with the evolution of underground electronic music. A DJ, producer, and label head, Deep has spent decades shaping the sound of techno and house with a raw, soulful edge that defies trends. His music is a masterclass in groove-driven minimalism, blending the hypnotic pulse of Detroit techno with the warmth of Chicago house, all while infusing it with a distinctly French sensibility. Emerging in the 1990s as a key figure in Paris’s burgeoning rave scene, DJ Deep gained recognition for his meticulous mixing and deep crate-digging skills. His breakthrough came with the launch of his label, Deeply Rooted, in 2005, which became a platform for both his own productions and a roster of boundary-pushing artists. Collaborations with legends like Kerri Chandler and Roman Poncet further cemented his status as a bridge between generations of electronic music. Beyond his sonic contributions, DJ Deep is celebrated for his role as a cultural archivist, unearthing forgotten gems and recontextualizing them for modern audiences. His recent projects include a series of genre-defying EPs and a global tour that showcases his unparalleled ability to connect with dancefloors. With a career marked by authenticity and innovation, DJ Deep remains a vital force in electronic music, continually pushing its boundaries while staying true to its roots.
