Doza (M.Town)

About

Born in Marseille, FRANCE , Doza has been behind the decks for over 15 years. A lifelong music enthusiast, influenced by artists such as Kerri Chandler, DJ Stingray and DJ Deep, he first shaped his sound in Paris. Moving between Classic House, Minimal, Detroit Techno and Deep Techno, his selections are as diverse as they are refined. During his time in the French capital, he joined MJ Records, where he took on the role of Artistic Director, overseeing bookings and event production. He later secured a residency at the iconic Batofar, the legendary club, while also playing for various collectives across the Paris scene. A former dancer himself, Doza has maintained a strong connection between club music and dance culture, performing at House Dance events and established local dance battles. After ten years in Paris, Doza returned to Marseille, bringing with him the same drive to share and champion the music that shaped him. Following a trip to New York, he founded M.Town, a DJ collective with plans to develop into a record label, dedicated to promoting House Music while reconnecting with its roots and drawing inspiration from the scenes of Chicago, Brooklyn and Detroit. Through M.Town and his own DJ career, Doza has performed at some of Marseille's key underground and independent venues, including Cabaret Aléatoire, Yuzu, Vice-Versa, Absolem, Baby Club, Bouge, Les Réformés and Danceteria. His approach remains rooted in selection, groove and dancefloor culture — bridging the heritage of House and Detroit Techno with a contemporary club sensibility. [Français] Doza, né à Marseille, présente 15 ans d’expérience derrière les platines. Passionné de musique et s’inspirant de grands noms comme Kerri Chandler, DJ Stingray ou DJ Deep, son style s’est d’abord forgé à Paris : Classic House, Minimal, Detroit Techno, Deep-Techno, son univers est autant varié que sophistiqué. A la capitale, il intègre MJ Records, un label dont il prend la direction artistique pour les bookings et la production d'événements. Il décroche une résidence dans l’emblématique Le Batofar, en bord de Seine, et a mixé pour des collectifs parisiens. Ancien danseur, Doza a mixé pour des évènements de la scène House Dance et des battles de danse locaux de renom. Aujourd’hui, après 10 ans passés à la capitale, Doza est désormais basé à Marseille, avec la même envie de partager sa passion. Après un voyage à New-York, Doza fond M.Town Circle, un collectif de DJs et bientôt label de musique afin de promouvoir la House Music en revenant à ses origines, inspirée des scènes de Chicago, Brooklyn et Détroit. Celui lui vaut de jouer sur les scènes du Cabaret Aléatoire, du Yuzu, du Vice-Versa, d’Absolem, du Baby Club, du Bouge, des Réformés, ou de la Danceteria.
