Quenum

QUENUM continued solo on his path for the perfect beat. What’s said most often about his music is “elegant”, “warm” and “deep”. In the next decade he continued producing groovy techno released on all the top labels (incl. Transmat, Crosstown Rebels, Cocoon, Fabric, Get Physical) and playing clubs all over the world. Above all, QUENUM is a classic DJ whose primary concern is to bring the dancefloor alive and ensure everyone leaves the club happy and fulfilled. His love for the groove was nurtured in his music-filled Afro-Caribbean home. When the hip-hop wave first arrived in France, he went crazy for it and became one of the country’s most skilled break-dancers (all his brothers are top dancers too). One day, when he was 17 years old, he went to visit his uncle who worked as a security guard for the Palace nightclub in Paris. That experience cemented QUENUM’s love for the dancefloor and nightlife. Around the same time, he saw DJ DST perform with Herbie Hancock at the Roxy club in New York and then he knew that’s what he wanted to do. And he’s never diverted from that path.

Fast forward to the 2000s and you will find QUENUM playing all over the world. Standout releases include: Agbaja EP on Butane’s Alphahouse label (2007) /Captain Deutschland 2 on Dandy Jack’s Ruta 5 label (2010) / Dachshund & Quenum, the Mammoth on Damian Lazarus’s Rebellion label (2012).
From 2013 to 2019 Quenum worked in partnership with Cesare vs Disorder. Together as Azimute they toured Asia, Australia and South America. They released Azimute on Serialism and ran their label nights in Brazil, London and Berlin.

QUENUM is known as one of the friendliest faces in techno, which explains why he loves collaborating with his brothers-and-sisters-in-arms. 13 years after releasing “Orange Mistake”, he was back on Cadenza with his EP “Solitaire”, which got rave reviews on Resident Advisor. They said: “It has one of those muted beats that marked the best early Cadenza releases.” For QUENUM, each collaboration is an opportunity to learn and share his passion with friends.

QUENUM has just one other obsession, apart from music, and that’s running. He keeps in top shape by taking his running shoes all over the world with him, clocking an average of 60ks a week.
