The Mekanism

The Mekanism is the moniker of Damien Roussel, a renowned French electronic music producer and DJ born and raised in Paris. Emerging onto the house music scene in the early 2010s, The Mekanism quickly gained recognition for his deep, groove-laden sound, which draws from a rich tapestry of influences spanning disco, funk, and classic Chicago house. His breakout came with a series of releases on influential labels such as Needwant, Play It Say It, and Noir Music, earning him widespread praise for his slick production style and infectious rhythms.

Over the years, The Mekanism has performed at prestigious clubs and festivals across the globe, including appearances at Watergate in Berlin, Rex Club in Paris, and Ibiza’s iconic venues. Known for emotive, dancefloor-driven sets and a distinctive touch that bridges contemporary house with soulful nostalgia, The Mekanism continues to evolve, pushing the boundaries of modern dance music while staying true to the genre’s underground roots.
