Mad Rey

About

Mad Rey isn't just a DJ; he's a sonic anthropologist, meticulously excavating and reconstructing the forgotten corners of house music history. Emerging from the fertile Parisian electronic music scene, Mad Rey has carved a distinctive niche with his raw, sample-heavy productions that feel simultaneously nostalgic and utterly contemporary. His music, a heady cocktail of lo-fi house, jacking rhythms, and disco-infused grooves, draws heavily on early Chicago house and Detroit techno, but with a distinctly French touch. Think Theo Parrish crashing a Parisian warehouse party. His ascent has been steady, marked by a series of standout releases on labels like D.KO Records, cementing his reputation as a purveyor of dancefloor-ready cuts with serious substance. He's earned acclaim for his ability to seamlessly blend classic sounds with modern production techniques, creating tracks that resonate with both seasoned veterans and fresh-faced clubbers. Though collaborations are relatively rare, his remixes speak volumes, breathing new life into forgotten gems. Recent appearances at renowned venues and festivals across Europe suggest Mad Rey is poised to solidify his position as a leading voice in the global house music landscape, pushing the boundaries of the genre while paying homage to its roots.
