VAPA

À propos

French producer VAPA creates melodic and trancy shades of progressive techno. Both punchy and reflective, his music invites movement, but also contemplation. It hits both the body and the mind. Driving and physical, yet introspective at its core. Launched in Köln (DE) in 2021, where he spent four years immersed in club culture, VAPA developed a sound that fuses German precision with French emotional depth. Now based in Angers, his productions explore themes like solitude, consciousness, and escape - shaped by an elegant, textured palette. His music resonates far beyond France’s electronic scene. He’s performed at major festivals including Transmusicales, MaMA Festival, FIMU, and more. His track Sailing was chosen as the musical climax of Ushuaïa Dubai’s opening show in late 2024, soundtracking one of the world’s largest drone show, directed by Romain Pissenem. VAPA’s work has earned support from artists such as Joris Voorn, Rebūke, Mariano Mellino, Brigado Crew and Alfa Romero, and has been featured on leading playlists including Spotify’s Electronic Rising, Fresh Finds Dance, and Beatport’s Dancefloor Essentials. He also hosts the monthly radio show Passion Kick, spotlighting underground melodic techno labels such as Three Six Zero Recordings, Simulate Records, Arcane Music, Upperground and many more. With collaborations including Yulia Niko, You Man, and Philipp Wolf, VAPA continues to shape a bold yet introspective signature - melodic, analog-rich, and club-ready. His techno is made to move you - and stay with you.
