Biography of Plastique De Rêve |  | | Real name / | Christophe 'Daze' Dasen |
Swiss dj and producer Plastique De Rêve hails from Geneva but currently lives in Berlin.
Born in Australia, raised to electronic disco and his parents’ Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre records in the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, in the 70s, then grown on DAF, new wave and EBM back in Europe’s 80s, Plastique has been fascinated by electronic sound since childhood and making electronic music since 1984 !!
After several live EBM and experimental performance groups, then acid, techno and early rave projects, contemporary art installations and KLF-inspired performances across the 90s, Plastique released two 12” electro bombs on Gigolo Records at the beginning of this century, becoming one of the pioneering names of the swiss electro scene.
After the highlight of the Gigolo era, Plastique moved on with releases on other top labels such as Turbo, Mental Groove, Kitty Yo, Supersoul Recordings, DFA's sublet Death From Abroad or David Carretta's Space Factory. His electro, disco, breakdance and acid house influenced productions have been played and playlisted by many top djs across the world.
Today Plastique De Rêve lives and works in Berlin, as ever into futuristic electro, techno, acid house and cosmic disco, but also weird ambient soundtracks for film or for his own UFO Contact installations !! |
