Electronic mixes and mashups
ELFIGO
Every now and then, an artist emerges that stops the world in its tracks. ELFIGO is that rare phenomenon. At just 14 years old, the Belgian-French wunderkind has been turning heads and revolutionizing music mashups with a talent that belies his years. Inspired by iconic French DJs and producers such as Daft Punk, Snake and Justice, ELFIGO was raised on a blend of House, Electro, Funk, Hip-Hop, and Jazz, all of which have influenced his evolving musical taste.
Beginning his DJ journey at the tender age of 8, the young prodigy has honed skills that rival seasoned pros, blending tracks with an innate mastery that few can match. Drawing on the diverse blend of house, electro, funk, hip-hop and jazz on which he was raised, the burgeoning producer has become renowned for his genre-bending sets sees him effortlessly weave music from the 80s, 90s and 00s with contemporary tech house and mainstream beats.
In 2023, ELFIGO achieved what many could only dream of – an invitation to perform at Tomorrowland, making him one of the youngest DJs to achieve such a feat. Fast forward a year, and the rising star has a return to the iconic festival, as well as a select number of TV, radio, club and festival appearances, across Europe under his belt.
With a social media presence of over one million, and rapidly rising, the online sensation regularly takes to the internet to share his instinctive mixing and unforgettable mashups to his dedicated global fanbase, proving he’s not just a young talent – he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Making waves amongst tastemakers, and peers alike, whilst it’s tempting to compare to him to those who came before, ELFIGO’s passion, dedication and intuitive approach to music put him in a league of his own.
