Making the jump from technology guru to DJ/producer is a tough trick to pull off, but if anyone's got the skills to tackle it, it's Francis Prève. In the past five years, his involvement in the music tech scene has run the gamut from lending his audio talents to both Ableton and Korg to serving as technology editor for Beatportal. But when his debut single, 'Caboose', was released on Different Pieces in Winter 2008, Prève began making waves in the club world, as well.

With support from a broad range of DJs - including Josh Gabriel, Dave Seaman, Martijn Ten Velden and Richard Dinsdale - 'Caboose' proved that Prève's production know-how extended far beyond waveform editing and spectral analysis. His follow up releases, both as remixer and artist, are prime examples of Prève's ability to blend progressive and tech house, whilst staying true to each.

Francis is also a veteran collaborator, having programmed and engineered numerous Top 10 Billboard Club remixes, so it's no surprise that putting him in a studio with electro wünderkind, Wolfgang Gartner, would yield extraordinary results as their debut tracks 'Yin' and 'Yang' clearly attest.

After the worldwide success of 'Yin/Yang', Preve returned to the art of remixing, putting his thumbprint on new tracks from Sander Kleinenberg, Dave Seaman & Josh Gabriel, Winter Kills, and Dragonette.

His solo work is also rapidly evolving, with originals like Marina, Hasown and Less Cowbell garnering support from influential DJs including Josh Gabriel, Kaskade, Markus Schulz, Noel Sanger, Sandra Collins, and MIKE.

Not content to simply produce, Prève began DJing in 2006. Drawing from over a decade of production and musicianship, his deep and funky sets are consistent crowd-pleasers whether he's headlining or warming up a crowd of thousands for legendary artists like Tiësto, Gabriel & Dresden, and Kaskade. As a result, Prève has played the main stage in some of the USA's hottest venues, including Avalon Hollywood, Pacha NYC, Cielo NYC, Pawn Shop Miami, and Ruby Skye San Francisco, to name a few.
